Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - In Harry Potter and
the Order of the Phoenix, licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive
Entertainment, Harry's fifth year at Hogwarts is shaping up to be his
most exciting yet. Fearing that Hogwarts' venerable Headmaster, Albus
Dumbledore, is lying about the return of Voldemort in order to
undermine his power, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge appoints a new
Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher to keep watch over Dumbledore
and the students. But Professor Dolores Umbridge's ministry-approved
course leaves the young wizards woefully unprepared, so Hermione, Ron
and Harry form "Dumbledore's Army" with the goal of preparing
themselves and other courageous young wizards for the extraordinary
battle that looms against Voldemort(TM) and his Death Eaters.
Need for Speed Carbon - What starts in the city is settled in the
canyons as Need for Speed Carbon immerses you in the world's most
dangerous and adrenaline-filled form of street racing. You and your
crew must race in an all-out war for the city, risking everything to
take over your rivals' neighborhoods one block at a time. As the
police turn up the heat, the battle ultimately shifts to Carbon
Canyon, where territories and reputations can be lost on every
perilous curve.
Battlefield 2142 - Earth, 2142. As a new ice age depletes the
planet's resources, two massive multinational coalitions wage a brutal
war for the only cause that matters--survival. Armed with a
devastating arsenal of futuristic weaponry and gear, including active
camouflage, EMP grenades, and sentry guns, plus Battle Walkers and
vast airborne bases called Titans, you must coordinate the efforts of
your teammates to win the war for Earth's last fragile pieces of
livable land. With extensive improvements to the groundbreaking
Battlefield 2(TM) ranking and upgrade system and the new Titan
gameplay mode, Battlefield 2142 brings the franchise's award-winning
online warfare into a harsh and desperate future.
Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars - The year is 2047. A massive
nuclear fireball explodes high in the night sky, marking the dramatic
beginning of the Third Tiberium War and the long-awaited return of the
most groundbreaking Real-Time Strategy franchise of all time. Command
& Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars unveils the future of RTS gaming by bringing
you back to where it all began: the Tiberium Universe. With the
corrupt substance Tiberium blanketing most of the Earth, the infamous
Kane is back to lead his Brotherhood of Nod in a massive global
assault on the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and the few remaining
livable Blue Zones left on the planet. Only you can stop him.
Featuring state-of-the-art next-generation graphics, an epic story,
and truly innovative features such as the ability to transform online
battles into a spectator sport, Command & Conquer is about to reinvent
RTS gaming ... again. Welcome back, Commander.
