Ignite Fires Up E3 Lineup

Ignite, nee Graphix Zone, will showcase three PC games at E3 in Atlanta. The first of these is Halls of the Dead: Faery Tale Adventure II, a fantasy RPG set in a world torn by the struggle between Order and Chaos. This title is the sequel to Faery Tale Adventure and features three brothers, dark elves, goblins, and many other evil creatures.

The second title is Princess Maker 2, a simulation game based on Japanese anime. The player becomes a medieval traveler who has just rescued a kingdom and won his reward: a young girl to raise. The goal is to raise the girl as a princess and marry her off to the city's prince. She must learn about culture and self-defense and be kept from straying into a lifestyle inappropriate to persons royal. Both this game and Halls of the Dead are due in August.

Racing fans should watch for MagZone, a real-time 3-D game with Mag-lev vehicles and original courses. The title boasts 40 attributes of motions, five different vehicles, and approximately 12 racing zones. Each vehicle has unique non-lethal weapons, and the title, due out this October, has multiplayer capability.
