Craving for Shadow Madness

Crave Entertainment announced its plans to break its American-made RPG into the Japanese-dominated PlayStation RPG market by including a playable demo of Jade Cocoon: the Story of Tamamayu with a special three-CD edition of RPG Shadow Madness.

Crave will be offering the Limited Edition Shadow Madness game through a preorder program at Electronics Boutique and Babbage's. The Limited Edition will include the game, the demo of both games, coupons, a mini-strategy guide, a 22 x 22 cloth map, and other promotional items.

"Not only will RPG fans get to immerse themselves in more than 40 engrossing hours of Shadow Madness, they also get to sample, before any other gamer, Jade Cocoon through a special edition and very extensive playable demo," said Jane Gilbertson, Senior Director of Marketing at Crave Entertainment. "It's a great value for RPG fans."

Shadow Madness should hit stores in mid-April; Jade Cocoon is set to be released in July.
