Two Worlds II

TopWare Interactive and Southpeak Games have released a new developer diary video for the upcoming action-RPG, Two Worlds II. In the video, TopWare Interactive Creative Director/Project Manager Scott Cromie talks about some of Two Worlds II‘s main features and improvements over the first game. From customizing and crafting weapons to concocting some spells that allow the player to walk on water, go invisible and even perform mega jumps, this developer diary is a must see. Two Worlds II looks like it will offer plenty of exploration and experimenting not only in the environments, but in the player’s loot bag.

Watch the Two Worlds II Developer Diary 1 video here on YouTube.com.

High Voltage Software has confirmed with IGN that Conduit 2 will be released on February 15, 2011. After several estimated release months, SEGA has committed to the date. The official press release from SEGA America should be coming soon. Conduit 2 will offer much more varied environments and deeper online multiplayer combat. Seeing how the game has been presented so far, it looks like there is a big emphasis on the multiplayer. Surely more on the single-player story will be unveiled as the release date nears. Expect more of the A.S.E. (All Seeing Eye).

Conduit 2 will be released for the Wii and will be available as a GameStop Exclusive Collector’s Edition in North America. The Conduit 2 Limited Edition comes at the same $49.99 MSRP of the regular edition Conduit 2 game from other retailers. Pre-order The Conduit 2 Limited Edition here at GameStop.com.

Visit the official website of Conduit 2 at www.sega.com for more details.
