BURBANK, Calif. - May 22, 2007 - From islands and pirate ships in the Caribbean to the streets of historic Singapore, adventures lie ahead in the Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End video games. Inspired by the events, locations and characters from both the second and third "Pirates of the Caribbean" films, the Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End video games are now available at retail stores worldwide for the Xbox 360(TM) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PLAYSTATION(R)3 computer entertainment system, the Wii(TM) home video game system from Nintendo, the PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system, the PSP(R) (PlayStation(R)Portable) system, Nintendo DS(TM) and Windows PC. Players will take on the roles of Jack Sparrow, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, as well as other familiar characters as they face swashbuckling skirmishes and acrobatic maneuvers in games that feature action and humor while extending beyond the story, environments and characters of both films. More than 2.8 million copies of the game have been shipped to retail stores worldwide.

"Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End allows players to experience a swashbuckling pirate's life through adventure and swordplay that goes far beyond the events of the films," said Craig Relyea, vice president of marketing, Disney Interactive Studios. "With its unique, dynamic gameplay and stunning graphics, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End provides a new and significant chapter in the Pirates of the Caribbean video game franchise."

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End takes players to treacherous and exotic locations to encounter a wide variety of notorious pirates, mythical creatures and fearsome villains. Players will develop swordsmanship skills throughout the game as they experience a story that is familiar to the films, but features new storylines and a unique ending.

• World in Conflict
  World in Conflict: The Massive Q&A on Computer and Video Games subjects Massive president Martin Walfisz to their questions about the upcoming alternate-history RTS game: "After Ground Control 2, we started work on a number of concept designs, but in many ways we still wanted to work on a strategy game but our real desire was to attempt to 're-invent' the genre. The cold war setting came about because we wanted to deal with realistic, modern warfare, but not with any current conflicts. As such, the 1980s setting was a pretty obvious choice, partly because it had never been done before, and partly because it's focusing on the two biggest military superpowers of the late 20th century. There's obviously a lot of potential that comes with such a setting, and we loved working within it!"

  Valve's Robin Walker talks TF2 on Eurogamer is a Q&A on the coming remake of Team Fortress: "In the multiplayer space, you're obviously going to retrace your steps a lot, that's what multiplayer's about. Content you're consuming is generated for you by other players; that's what multiplayer is. And so we were thinking about how many maps we should build and so on, and one of the things that anyone who's played online PC games for some time has noticed is that if we build 100 maps it won't matter; the community's going to choose five or six they want to play and play them to death."
• Hellgate: London
  Flagship boss Bill Roper explains Hellgate: London on Play.tm is a Q&A discussing the upcoming action/RPG: "We want all of the fans of Diablo to feel right at home within Hellgate: London, but also be experiencing some great new twists, turns and innovations. We're doing a much better job of immersing the player in the world, telling stories and making the character a central figure in the tale. There are more game play mechanics that we can explore because of the ability to play the game from both the first and third person perspectives. And, of course, being in 3D with true physics lets us do some very fun things that we weren't able to achieve in Diablo II."
