Atari has announced the nine games that will be shown in Los Angeles from May 10-12 as part of its E3 lineup. Heading up the list are Alone in the Dark, Test Drive Unlimited, and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2, the latter of which is being released on Nintendo's forthcoming Wii console.
Alone in the Dark, out on Xbox 360 and Windows, is being developed by Eden Studios and is set for release next year. Test Drive Unlimited is currently scheduled for a third-quarter 2006 release date and was recently confirmed for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable as well as the Xbox 360 and PC. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 will be available on the PS2 and Nintendo Wii, and while the release date for the game is unconfirmed, it will combine action, fighting, and light role-playing game elements.
Other games on display at the show include Battlezone on the PSP, Dungeons & Dragons: Tactics on the PSP, HOT PXL on the PSP, Neverwinter Nights 2 on the PC, and Super DBZ(Dragon Ball Z) on the PS2. Arthur and the Minimoys is also being shown and will see a multiformat release on the PS2, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance, and Windows.
