E3 Line-up: SouthPeak

SouthPeak Interactive announced that they will be exhibiting at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) next week (don't forget to subscribe for our E3 coverage on the right) and revealed part of its line-up for the show.

Included in SouthPeak's line-up for E3 will be the highly anticipated games Two Worlds II, the second installment in the hit fantasy role-playing game series, nail'd, Deep Silver's lightning-fast off-road arcade racer and the only Nintendo-title for now: Battle vs. Chess, an arcade chess game with a modern combat twist.

In Battle vs. Chess, the traditional white and black armies have evolved into an army of light with their brave knights in shining armor, pitted against the wicked dark army of demons and beastly golems. Each piece is intricately animated and as players move them around the board they spring into life, ready to wage war. If a square is occupied by an enemy unit, they enter into a brutal clash that sees the foe removed from the board in bloody combat.

Another evolutionary element Battle vs Chess brings to the arena is the addition of the optional Action Mode. If selected, instead of entering a scripted animation when attacking, players challenge their opponent in a beat-'em-up style encounter. Using a variety of weapons, fighting techniques and combos, players must best their opponent in a fast-paced flurry of blows and special moves -adding a whole new meaning to the phrase 'checkmate'.

Battle vs. Chess will ship in October 2010 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Windows PC, Mac, Wii, Nintendo DS and PSP.
