Gamers can now embark on a magical quest, where beasts are summoned to battle evil foes, in Activision, Inc.'s Lost Kingdoms, the first real-time action- RPG for the Nintendo GameCube. Set within visually stunning 3D worlds, players will be enveloped into a rich storyline that takes them on a mystical journey through the Five Kingdoms of Argwyll as they discover, collect and summon Guardian Creatures cards to battle an invading evil force, while uncovering its terrible origins. Lost Kingdoms for the Nintendo GameCube is currently available at retail outlets nationwide at a suggested retail price of $49.99 and is rated "T" (Teen - contains comic mischief and violence).

Computer game development is no longer a safe business today. GSC team had to set off for the Chernobyl zone in search of radioactive artefacts and scenario materials for S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Oblivion Lost. GCS updated their website, unveils the project and published a lion's share of materials about S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: photos and materials from Chernobyl Zone, game concept, know-how, gameplay details, screenshots and sketches. Check it out, quite an interesting read.

Because of new development opportunities the development of Outcast 2 has been momentarily suspended.. "thats all"
