Both European and North American Wii consoles will be graced with the first season of the dog and bunny-thing show this fall, with Dreamcatcher and The Adventure Company handing U.S. publishing and JoWood handling Europe's version, which comes complete with German and French voiceovers plus Italian and Spanish subtitles. I almost want to import the Euro version, just to hear Max threatening people in the language of romance, or perhaps French. More »

The production of the games will be overseen by Dreamcatcher Interactive, the original game's publisher which JoWood purchased in November of last year in an effort to move into North America. For the record, Dungeon Lords was probably the buggiest, most incomplete game I had ever seen upon release. Buttons didn't work, tutorials were hosed, etc. Even now the game isn't complete, over 2 years after release. It was the only PC game that GameStop ever let me return, calling it defective. How that game scores an expansion pack in 2008 that bridges the gap between the original and the 2009 sequel is completely beyond me. Apparently it sold over a million copies. I'm guessing they've figured bargain bins sales into that number. Ew. More »

JoWooD Productions, which I will always fondly remember for random letter capitalizations, has announced that Spellbound Entertainment AG will be the developer for the fourth installment in the adult PC RPG. Why Spellbound?
One of the most convincing and central arguments for choosing Spellbound, was the scope of RPG experience brought in by Spellbound team member Jochen Hamma, who was involved in creating the legendary „Nordland Trilogy" based upon the Pen & Paper RPG „Das Schwarze Au
Oh yeah, that Spellbound! Okay, I have no idea who they or their previous games are. I just hope combat is ever bit as hot and steamy as Gothic 3's was. More »

Esoteric interface aside, which felt like piloting an advanced NASA Tolkein simulator, we preferred Gothic 2 to Morrowind, and we'll probably like Gothic 3 a hell of a lot more than Oblivion. Coming from JoWood and Piranha Bytes in Q4 2006. More »

I'm a few syllables (OK, a whole bunch of syllables) shy of speechless. JoWood sends word that FHM magazine is running a spread of "Tank Babes" to promote their game Panzer Elite Action. Judging by the women and their... outfits(?) I'd say that in the game you're given bits of twine and strips of camo and forced to make alluring outfits for the local peasantry out of them. More »
