Nikitova Games announces two new IP titles are currently in production and planned for release in 2008. CCTV where you play the role of a surveillance officer using Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and police cars to catch criminals, and Mind Games is a selection of 21 mini-games based on the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery.

“We are happy to share the details of our own new IP titles with the gaming society. In accordance with our strategic plan for 2008, these two games will be designed for both the Nintendo Wii and DS consoles.

CCTV

The first game, CCTV, is a game where the player assumes the role of a surveillance officer using Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and police cars to catch petty criminals and most-wanted criminals alike. The player's aim is to clean up the streets of his city by finding his suspects and nailing them in this fast-paced, humorous game of observation, identification & interrogation. The game is designed to be played as either a single player, as two players co-operatively or as 2 players competing against one another.

Jon Hare, Nikitova Games' Director of Development, describes this as the first truly original game he has been able to design since the 1990s, those heady days of Sensible Soccer and Cannon Fodder. It is currently being courted by a number of publishers and is due for release around Christmas 2008.

In this game the plays the role of a security guard using CCTV and cop cars to catch petty criminals and most wanted criminals alike as he travels the world finding suspects and nailing them in this fast paced game of observation, identification & interrogation.

Starting as a lowly shopping mall guard, the player can rise to International head of security as he travels the worlds most famous shops and art galleries scrutinizing car parks, trains and airports in a bid to capture the thieves, smugglers, vandals and other low life littering the world's streets and bang them to rights.

The game has been designed specifically for the Nintendo Wii & DS to play as either a single player, as two players co-operatively or as 2 players competitively against each other.

The depth of this simple game idea is quite frightening and the art and sound are stylish and amusing as one would expect from such a game

Mind Games

The second game, Mind Games, is a selection of 21 mini-games based on the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) of "computeribrainized" tests developed in Cambridge University by a celebrity female neuropsychology professor and her team and used in science and medicine in 500 institutes and hospitals in 50 countries worldwide, to analyze the performance and activity of various areas of the brain. Mind Games is being developed for both the Nintendo Wii and DS consoles, allowing one or two players of any age to have fun while they are learning, said Tatiana Makarova.

Due for release next year, this game is a brain training style game with a scientific twist as it is endorsed by a Professor of Neurological Psychology at Cambridge University.

Just like CANTAB, Mind Games provides mental challenges in the areas of concentration, learning and memory, as well as analyzing executive functions such as planning problem solving and strategic working memory. Mind Games will use the results of the games you play to analyze the performance of your brain in a scientifically proven way.

It has been proven that keeping your mind active with mentally challenging activities as you age can help to increase resilience and reduce the risk of cognitive impairment.
