About Mega Man£ 10

The year is 20XX and a suspicious outbreak of Roboenza, a Robot Flu, has broken out. It spreads through the world like wildfire bringing down robots everywhere. Infected robots are on a rampage and out of control as they destroy the city and hold everyone hostage! Who’s behind this mess? It’s up to Mega Man to take on this sinister threat and get to the bottom of this viral mystery.

Throughout Mega Man’s new adventure he’ll take on the malfunctioning-infected robots and classic-style bosses with the unique gameplay only found in a Mega Man® game. Each Robot Master has his own unique weapons and vulnerabilities. The creator of the original Mega Man, Keiji Inafune, is in charge of directing and supervising the boss character designs and has delivered the wildest villains the series has ever seen! Bosses like Sheep Man and Strike Man are sure to quickly become fan favorites!

Other exciting features in Mega Man 10 include the option to play as the amazingly cool Proto Man from the start, as well as an all new “Easy Mode” which will allow new fans to indulge in the challenges that make the series great. Additionally, “Mega Man Challenges” mode will allow players to practice their skills and prepare for the hair-raising adventures ahead of them.

Mega Man 10 is the must-have digital download for Capcom fans both young and old. The retro elements alone make this a delicious treat for those who long for the days of nail-biting platform experiences and the new “Easy Mode” will definitely allow more gamers to enjoy this incredible skill-based romp.

Guildford, UK – October 24, 2008 – Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today that Dead Space™, the award-winning new action-packed, survival horror game from EA hits shelves today at British retail and reminds parents of the game’s 18 rating. The game will be available for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and PC.

“Dead Space is a bold and often bloody gaming experience filled with tension and terror – this one isn’t for kids,” said Keith Ramsdale, Vice President and General Manager of EA UK, Ireland and Nordics. “We recognize the need to help British parents better understand the age rating system for video games, and 18 means a game is not appropriate for minors.

Dead Space is a science fiction survival horror game set in the far future that sees the main character, Isaac Clarke, battle against a malevolent alien presence. The 18 rating advises consumers of the presence of adult content in the game.

Chosun reported, “When Bill Gates met President Lee Myung-bak at Cheong Wa Dae on May 6, the Microsoft chairman came bearing a very special gift: a Microsoft Xbox video game console inlaid with traditional Korean mother-of-pearl. In fact 100 similar Xboxes are being prepared by a Korean artisan, intended as special VIP gifts from the Microsoft chief.”

“The decoration is the handiwork of Kim Young-jun, the head of a manufacturing company called Gookbo. “I got a call from Microsoft Korea last month,” Kim said. “They told me something about an Xbox, but I had no idea what that was. I thought they were talking about some kind of black box.”
