NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe today announced the launch of the premium downloadable content (DLC) for ENSLAVED™: Odyssey to the West™. The DLC includes “Pigsy’s Perfect 10,” a new side story where players take the role of Pigsy, the unforgettable character who was a non-playable ally in the main game. In addition, players will have options to experience both the new side story and the full original game in 3D. The downloadable content is available in Europe for 9.99 € via PlayStation®Network and 800 MS Points via Xbox Live® Marketplace
Pigsy, he of the one-liners and dubious hygiene, finally gets his time to shine. Alone in the Titan Graveyard he dreams of the perfect woman, so decides to build one from scratch using scrap from the junkyard. Compared to Monkey, Pigsy is more lover than fighter. His gameplay has a different dynamic, with a focus on stealth, sharp-shooting, and the abundance of tricks up his sleeve, including hookshot, grenades, Trouble Vision eye piece, and the aid of his trusty mechanical sidekick Truffles.
In addition, when a player downloads the new DLC, the core game will receive a TriOviz® for Games Technology update, enabling all aspects of ENSLAVED: Odyssey to the West to be experienced in eye-popping 3D, including the DLC and retailer bonus costumes. The lush environments and action packed fights will jump off the screen, providing players with an exciting, immersive experience.
Fans with a 3D-enabled television can play in 3D using Stereo 3D Active Shutter Glasses. For those without a 3D-enabled television, Stereo 3D vision will be available on all 2D HDTV sets through the use of innovative TriOviz INFICOLOR® 3D glasses. These glasses will be available for purchase via trioviz.com in autumn 2010.
Developed by Ninja Theory Ltd., ENSLAVED: Odyssey to the West for Xbox 360® and PlayStation®3 features contributions from top music and film industry talent, combining beautiful graphics and captivating music with seamless animation and engrossing gameplay.

2K Games announced today the availability of a downloadable demo for Mafia® II, the action-driven epic crime saga for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC. The demo is available for free to download from PlayStation®Network, Xbox LIVE Marketplace, and via Steam and select internet portals for Windows PC. Set in Empire Bay, a fully realized and immersive 1940’s and 1950’s American urban cityscape, the Mafia II demo invites gamers to experience the title’s intense shooting, white-knuckle car-chases, compelling characters, engaging narrative and decadent and meticulously crafted atmosphere. Mafia II will be released on August 24 in North America, August 26 in Australia and August 27 internationally.
While the game spans two eras, the Mafia II demo invites gamers to dive into the “Buzzsaw” level, which takes place during the summer of the ‘50s – a time considered the “Birth of Cool”, and with it, rock ‘n’ roll, hot rods, and rebellious attitudes. In the demo, Vito Scaletta and his buddies, Joe and Henry, are sent to take out a mobster known as “The Fat Man”. This mission showcases vibrant edge-of-your-seat action, era-evoking cars, memorable characters and a snapshot of the expansive city of Empire Bay in this colorful era.
Mafia II centres around Vito Scaletta, who has started to make a name for himself on the streets of Empire Bay. He’s someone who can be trusted to get the job done. Together with his buddy Joe, he is working to prove himself to the Mafia, a move which escalates to crimes that generate bigger rewards, bigger status, and bigger consequences.
Mafia II is rated PEGI 18. For more information on where to download the Mafia II demo, please visit www.mafia2game.com/demo
