Key titles include BEN 10: PROTECTOR OF EARTH, published by D3Publisher of America Inc. (D3PA) and AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE: ZOMBIE NINJA PRO-AM, published by Midway.
âWe are proud to be previewing our exciting slate of interactive games at this yearâs E3,â said Christina Miller, vp of U.S. consumer products for Cartoon Network Enterprises. âOur partners have done a great job creating exciting, playable experiences for fans of each show.â
BEN 10: PROTECTOR OF EARTH: In the first game based on the series, BEN 10, players will take on the role of Cartoon Networkâs popular everyday-kid-turned-alien-superhero, Ben Tennyson. With the help of the Omnitrix, an alien device that attached itself to Benâs wrist, gamers will play as Ben and five of his most popular alien forms. Ben suddenly finds that most of his alien powers have been stolen. Just as an inter-dimensional crisis threatens to swallow the Earth into limitless darkness. As Ben sets out to recapture his amazing powers using the ones he still has at his disposal, he encounters armies of otherworldly minions and uncovers a plot to suck the Earth into the null void. Players work to save the world through the gameâs diverse challenges, puzzles and skirmishes. BEN 10: PROTECTOR OF EARTH is due out this fall for PlayStation 2 and PSP.
ED, EDD N EDDY: SCAM OF THE CENTURY: Published by D3PA for release in fall 2007, ED, EDD N EDDY: SCAM OF THE CENTURY features an original storyline developed around Eddy losing his precious âBook Oâ Scamsâ book. Players take control of the Eds and must make their way through tricks, traps, angry kids and a barrage of ammunition including soap and broccoli. Ed, Edd and Eddy finally make their way back to the cul-de-sac only to find the ultimate obstacle before them: Rolf has built a giant fort to keep the Eds out forever! Each Ed must use his own special talent to smash, brainstorm or scam his way inside. Once inside the fort, the Eds regroup to reclaim Eddyâs scam book. But standing in their way is none other than The Masked Melonhead Avenger and Splinter -- The Wonderwood.
FOSTERâS HOME FOR IMAGINARY FRIENDS: IMAGINATION INVADERS: From Midway, gamers get to take on the role of head mischief-maker Blooregard Q. Kazoo (âBlooâ). Goo has done it again. Her overactive imagination has conjured up a group of diabolical cosmic invaders, the Space Nut Boogies, and they have taken Madame Foster hostage in search of The Greatest Thing in the Universe. Playing as Bloo gamers explore the Fosterâs house, sneak past the Space Nut Boogie guards, and gather Mac, Coco, Eduardo and the rest of the gang to rescue Madame Foster. The game is scheduled for release in fall of 2007.
AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE: ZOMBIE NINJA PRO-AM: Midway will be developing an interactive title based on the hit comedy series from Adult Swim -- AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE. AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE: ZOMBIE NINJA PRO-AM is scheduled to be available for PlayStation 2 system this fall. The game is an epic, action-adventure combat golf, cart racing game that gives fans an opportunity to experience the Aqua Teen universe in a whole new way. Jealousy smolders inside Master Shake like chocolate in a fondue pot. Frylock has been admitted into Jersey Pines, South Jerseyâs most prestigious and exclusive public golf course. And Shake was rejected. Actually, he didnât apply. He doesnât know how to play golf. But what does that matter? Now he must defeat Frylock at his own game. With Meatwad as his caddy, Shake aims to split some skulls and sink some putts.
HARVEY BIRDMAN: ATTORNEY AT LAW: Produced by Capcom Ent., HARVEY BIRDMAN: ATTORNEY AT LAW is a self-contained story, incorporating the characters, settings, and most importantly, the off-beat humor that Harvey Birdman fans have come to expect. Over the course of the game, players must guide Harvey through a series of odd and comical cases. In order to prove his clientâs innocence, Harvey must explore the scene of the crime, gather evidence, talk with other cartoon characters, occasionally have drinks with opposing council, and of course, tear holes -- no matter how ridiculous -- in the testimony provided by the witnesses for the prosecution. The game is scheduled for release for PlayStation2 and PSP in fall 2007.
