Another day, another batch of games shipped to stores. Instead of giving them all their own posts, we grouped them, and so far there are announcements for:

The Da Vinci Code (PS2/Xbox/PC)

The Da Vinci Code video game is based on the highly anticipated film from Columbia pictures, which is based on Dan Brown's critically acclaimed, best-selling novel. In the game, players seek to "unlock the code" as they struggle to unravel a 2,000 year old mystery.

"The Da Vinci Code video game expands upon the plot in the film and book, allowing gamers to experience new adventures and solve new puzzles," said Christoph Hartmann, President, 2K. "The game takes players beyond anything they have seen or read."

An adventure and puzzle game with action elements, the video game features new plot twists and clues. In a race against time, players must try to stay one step ahead of an ominous, covert society that will stop at nothing to protect a secret locked away for centuries. The video game combines stealth, adventure, combat and puzzle-solving elements to create the ultimate adventure.

Developed by The Collective, a division of Foundation 9 Entertainment, the video game is available for PC, Xbox and the PS2.
