Pitfall Swinging to Wii This Fall

A new entry in the classic action-adventure series Pitfall will be released on the Wii this fall, publisher Activision has revealed.

Titled Pitfall: The Big Adventure and developed by Pitfall: The Lost Expedition (PS2, Xbox, GCN) veteran Edge of Reality, the game is said to incorporate motion-sensitive controls with reptile dodging, vine swinging, and clever puzzles across its 60 levels.

"What could be more fun than using the Wii Remote to swing on a vine over blood thirsty crocodiles as retro-cool Pitfall Harry," pondered Activision representative Dave Oxford.

First released on the Atari 2600, Pitfall represents one of Atari's longest-running franchises.

The Incredible Hulk Announced

Mar 13, 2008 3:21pm CST tags: The Incredible Hulk, Sega, Edge of Reality
Marvel and publisher Sega today announced The Incredible Hulk, a tie-in game based on the upcoming movie of the same name.
The project is being developed by Edge of Reality, an up-and-coming studio known for its games based on Dreamworks animated films.

Though created by a different studio, The Incredible Hulk will sport many of the same features that The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction boasted--most importantly a dynamic open world, with towering skyscrapers and plenty of things to smash.

The game will attempt a small-scale recreation of Manhattan, with story-based tasks, sub-quests and minigames littering the landscape. New moves will be learned via a rage system, which will see the The Hulk gaining experience from his destruction.

The Incredible Hulk is set for a June release, on PC, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii. Developer Amaze will also be releasing a DS version.
