Harukanaru Densetsu combines strategic card based gameplay and role playing to deliver a game that is easy to understand but hard to master. Players' progression is determined through their use of the cards to evolve characters, strengthen moves and create new moves.

"Dragon Ball Z is one of our most successful franchises, we are delighted to deliver an all new way to play with DBZ Harukanaru Densetsu," said Emily Anadu, senior product manager, Atari, Inc. "We are especially excited to bring to fans of all ages a role playing game that combines simple card-based play mechanics in the much loved DBZ universe for the Nintendo DS."

With eight types of actions, eight power levels and eight guard levels, the title allows for 512 possible combinations that will determine progression. The intensity of the DBZ special attacks will increase and multiple cards can be played together to power up attacks and enhance guard level for super combos. Dragon Ball Z Harukanaru Densetsu supports wireless battle for up to four players and includes a game sharing mode.

Dragon Ball Z Harukanaru Densetsu, the latest must-have DBZ chapter, is rated E for Everyone and will be available for a suggested price of $29.95.

The Sims 2 H&M Fashion Stuff (PC)

The Sims 2 H&M Fashion Runway bridges the virtual world offered by The Sims 2 PC videogame and the fashion world inspired by H&M. This showcase offers a unique opportunity for fashion aficionados and Sims fans to express their infinite creativity and personal fashion style. Players can create their own fashion designs using The Sims 2 PC videogame and may even have the chance to show off their creations on a virtual runway broadcast on www.TheSims2FashionRunway.com, www.hm.com, or www.yahoo.co.uk/games. Everyone can participate in the Showcase – by creating fashions or by voting on favorite designs and even participate to the ultimate selection featured in a Grand Finale.

Ever dreamed of being a designer? Many participants will be given the opportunity to have their creations reviewed by an H&M designer and, ultimately, may see a garment inspired by their design in H&M stores for the future collection.

You can now shop for yourself and your Sims with The Sims 2 H&M Fashion Stuff pack! In the latest stuff pack in the popular series for The Sims 2, your Sims can choose from contemporary fashion essentials—all inspired by real H&M designs. Players can also use the all-new store-themed items to design their own H&M retail environment and build a H&M store.

“We are very excited that H&M is the first brand to enter this way into The Sims world. For us the stuff pack is a fun opportunity to meet our customers and to show parts of our summer collection”, says H&M Head of Marketing Jörgen Andersson. “The Sims players are known for their creativity, self-expression and cleverness - we are excited to see the participants’ designs for the virtual fashion runway.”

“Marrying a fashion-forward company with a game and community recognized around the world for their user-generated content will allow people to reflect their personalities and express their creativity. We couldn’t imagine a more perfect match. Fashion inspires creativity in the same way videogames do,” said Vice President of Global Brand Development, Steve Seabolt. “This brings new and exciting game content from two trusted brands that share the same global footprint and customer profile. From recreations of dresses on the red carpet to fashions seen on the streets of Paris, we can’t wait to see what The Sims community will come up with next!”
