The game publisher plans to release five PC games before the end of the year.
Virgin Interactive has announced that it will release five new PC games this holiday season. The publisher's lineup features Codename: Outbreak, Original War, Screamer 4x4, Nightstone, and Jimmy White's Cueball World.
Codename: Outbreak, formerly known as Venom, is a tactical first-person shooter set in a futuristic world that has been overrun by aliens. Players will simultaneously control both the main character and a sidekick as they try to destroy the alien creatures and save the planet. Codename: Outbreak was developed by GSC Game World, and it is scheduled for release later this year.
Original War is a real-time strategy game created by Czech developer Altar Interactive and released earlier this year in Europe. The game lets players command a US marine squadron, Arabic mercenaries, or Russian soldiers on a mission to go back in time to recover a valuable resource called siberium. The characters in the game all have unique attributes, and they can gain skill points after successfully completing different missions. Original War is scheduled for release in North America next month. For more information about the game, visit the official Web site.
