In Ben 10: Protector of the Universe, players must assume the role of Ben Tennyson, an Earth-boy endowed with the powers of the mighty Omnitrix embedded in his wrist. With amazing powers, Ben can fend off threats to our home world from the evils that troll outer space.

Fans of Ben Tennyson, otherwise known as the hero of the Cartoon Network "Ben 10", now has his own game. The website for Ben 10: Protector of Earth is now live and contains info on the game as well as a trailer, screenshots, and downloadable wallpapers.

The website also contains information for another game from Cartoon Network based on the quirky "Ed, Edd n Eddy" series. Their own website also has its own share of trailers and screenshots. Their game, Ed, Edd n Eddy: Scam of the Century will be released for the Nintendo DS this October 23.

Ben 10: Protector of Earth will be released sometime this month for the PS2, Wii, PSP and the Nintendo DS.

The European division of D3Publisher has polished up its titles for maximum exposure at the vast Leipzig Business and Convention Center, Germany. And in the Games Convention Developers Conference (GCDC) fast approaching in less than a month, gamers are assured that the presence of Dark Sector, Ben 10: Protector of Earth, Ed, Edd and Eddy: Scam of the Century, and Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire will be felt throughout the four-day European-centric event.

 

The Leipzig Convention will be the first event to feature playable, early versions of Dark Sector (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC), a third-person horror, action adventure combining bio-weapons and morphing to truly recreate a plague-ravaged Eastern Europe.

And right off from the Cartoon Network, Ben 10: Protector of Earth (Wii, DS, PSP, PS2) will have players wielding the Omnitrix as Ben Tennyson, fending off the evil Kevin 11 and arch-enemy Vilgax. The game is planned to extend the cartoon adventures straight to accessible consoles, including popular handhelds.

Ed, Edd and Eddy: Scam of the Century (DS) will pit the triple misbehaving E's against their own neighborhood, after Captain Melonhead gains possession of their book of schemes and distributes it to everyone. The adventure game will have gamers scouring for the book through puzzles and the trio's collection of skills, before each of their schemes can be used against them.

Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire (Wii) will also be featured at Leipzig. This "massive" RPG was designed especially for the Nintendo Wii and its pair of trusty controllers, allowing players to control movement and attacks through the Wiimote and Nunchuk. The plot and storyline was penned by none other than "DragonLance" creator Richard A. Knack himself, and the game will be available for hands-on demonstration at the event.

Check out the D3Publisher Europe stand, labeled K37, at the first Hall of the Business Center starting August 22-28, 2007.

Cartoon Network's hit original series, "Ben 10", will be making its way to the PS2, Nintendo DS, and the PlayStation Portable (PSP), thanks to D3Publisher.

Coming to the world of video games as Ben 10: Protector of the Earth, you'll find Ben still accompanied by his friends and foes, Gwen and Grandpa Max, the Forever Knights, evil Kevin 11, and his arch-enemy Vilgax. Apart from this, you may very well expect the Omnitrix's most popular alien heroes to be playable characters. As for the storyline, it is set in Ben's summer vacation, and will include all-new locations and content for players.

Says Christina Miller, vice president of Consumer Products for Cartoon Network Enterprises,

Taking the action-packed world of "Ben 10" to the next level and creating an immersive gaming experience for our fans is really exciting for us... D3PA has a proven talent for turning Cartoon Network's popular characters into authentic and well-designed video games. The variety of powerful action play in Ben 10: Protector of Earth will engage players of all levels and keep them coming back.

1st Playable Productions has taken Ben 10: Protector of Earth's DS version under its wing, while the Sony PSP and the PS2 versions are being developed by High Voltage Software, Inc. ESRB still has yet to rate the game, but it is already slated for fall this year.

Every Star Wars fan, us included, have to know about the force the latest in our beloved universe. And so with that said, we know this will definitely make everyone's day: LucasArts just announced that it's bringing the Clone Wars to the handhelds.

No, they're not waging war or something like that. Clone Wars, here, refer to its animated television series which originally ran on Cartoon Network. The program dealt mostly about the events that occurred between Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

There's still no details about the project's features but Feargus Caroll will be manning the project lead post. To those of you who are not familiar with this developer, Caroll has been working in the games industry for 12 years now and has worked on games such as Freedom Fighters, Black and White 2, and Battlefield: Modern Combat.

We're thinking that the Clone Wars game will feature lots of clone troopers and space fighting. A light saber fight with a Sithlord should be expected.

Konami will release Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Spirit Caller for the DS in February 2007. The DS version of the card game is the sequel to Yu-Gi-Oh!: Nightmare Troubadour. It features an improved dueling system for faster games. The DS stylus and touch screen perfectly suits setting the various trap and monster cards the game contains.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Spirit Caller also captures the social aspect of the original Trading Card Game. Using Wi-Fi connection, players can play against others gamers anywhere in the world in one-on-one bouts through a dedicated server.

Based on the top-rated Yu-Gi-Oh! GX series from Cartoon Network, it includes a whopping 1,400 cards with each game having three exclusive trading cards.

You can place your pre-orders for Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Spirit Caller now for US$ 29.99.

"Pet Alien", the wildly popular Cartoon Network 3D/CGI comedy series about a twelve-year-old Tommy Cadle and his five pets from outer space, will soon be a DS game. The series is seen from the points of view of Dinko, Swanky, Gumpers, Flip, and Scruffy, the alien critters who moved in with Tommy. The show revolves around their crazy attempts to help their master with every aspect of his complicated pre-adolescent Earth life. Only they end up turning Tommy's world inside out and upside down.

Pet Alien's claim to fame is being the first ever "squash and stretch" CGI animated television series, with a classic 2D cartoon aesthetic.

The DS game based on the CN series is currently being developed by SHIN’EN and will feature:

• Over 50 levels set inside a giant robotic spaceship
• Unique abilities of all five Pet Aliens to fight and solve puzzles to Tommy’s rescue
• Fully 3D, tilted top-down gaming
• Five stylus-driven mini-games
• Adventure and Bonus modes containing an unlockable Jukebox and photo gallery
• Battle with robot enemies inspired by 1960’s era sci-fi.

Pet Alien will be published by The Game Factory for DS and released in Q2 2007.

Touch Detective touched a nerve. First time we saw this girl, we have to say she gave us the creeps. With those round, large, black eyes unceasingly staring, she reminds us of those Japanese horror movies where the ghost would just stare at the audience for a long time. Well, she seems to grow on a lot of people, including most of the QJ staff, hopefully she'll have the same effect on the others. Besides a creeped-out feeling, we sense that we've played something like this before.

The game reminds us of old Commodore 64 RPGs where the hero has to go through different places, get some items from the background, and put it together to create something new or use it in a particular event. They were called Point and Click games - point your arrow on the item or person, do a right mouse button click, and the character picks it up, or interacts with whoever it was clicked. Games like those were nice in the beginning but tends to get stale in the end.

This one has good Cartoon Network-like graphics, average game audio, and a funny yet mysterious script. The only thing we noticed was that there were times that the top screen was showing some info while there was something else happening in the second screen (maybe we just need to get used to it?). How'd we get all this info? From some videos of course.

Last time we showed you the game's box art and a lot of screenshots. This time we're offering you not one, nor two, but four in-game videos. Yeah! This will definitely give us a much better preview of the game, eh? Will this be as successful in the US as it was in Japan? We'll see in October once it ships out to our shores.
