IRVINE, Calif. – Aug. 28, 2009 – Hacking and slashing its way past the average online game, the epic fantasy massively multi-player online role-playing game (MMORPG) Soul of the Ultimate Nation brings evil to its knees during its first closed beta testing (CBT) on the hardcore gaming portal ijji.com. The dark souls playing Soul of the Ultimate Nation’s closed beta will experience for the first time the anticipated MMO’s two warring dynasties grappling for dominance. The first beta period begins today and runs for five days. Daring gamers can sign up at http://sun.ijji.com to participate.

“Soul of the Ultimate Nation brings a unique fantasy element to the superior hardcore gameplay touted by ijji.com,” said Philip Yun, CEO, NHN USA, which hosts ijji.com. “Rebellion, suspense, betrayal and an epic storyline that will blow imaginative minds away, all come together flawlessly in Soul of the Ultimate Nation. Yet again, ijji.com proves its dedication to superior free-to-play content.”

In Soul of the Ultimate Nation’s first beta period, players’ experiences will vary as they choose from multiple classes, including Berkserkers, Dragon Knights, Valkyries and Elementalists. In addition, 100 randomly selected players will receive an exclusive in-game item for use in OBT and beyond: a Siberian Husky pet.

Soul of the Ultimate Nation is a fantasy MMORPG set in a world ravaged by corruption and war. The Immortal Emperor governed the Brakion continent with a dark and secret knowledge in his possession – the existence of Ether. Converting the valuable Ether into dark energy and using it to conquer the entire continent with his terrifying, demonic armies, the Immortal Emperor impoverished the land causing the ruling classes to turn to alliances with neighboring nations to continue its supremacy. Stemming from oblique dealings and intimate secrets among the royal families, two opposing dynasties blossomed. Enveloped in graphically stunning settings and intricate story lines, dotted with harrowing surprises lurking behind dark shadows, players will relish in the ever-expanding fantasy world that is Soul of the Ultimate Nation.

VISTA, Calif. – Aug. 27, 2009 – Stimulus package, step aside – TRITTON headsets are going local, providing gamers relief from money woes and mediocre gaming. From Sept. 1, 2009, TRITTON Technologies, a leader in gaming audio technology, will be exclusively selling two of its high-caliber headsets, the AX 180 and AX 720, at the world’s largest specialty consumer electronics retailer, Best Buy.

“During these challenging times, TRITTON continues to provide innovative high performance products.

Delivering superior voice communication and precise audio, the AX 720 takes full advantage of the Dolby 5.1 audio found on Xbox360, PS3 and PC games by replicating the individual audio details as they were meant to be heard. During crucial gaming moments, the inline audio controller featuring independent voice and volume controls provides a seemingly true-to-life aural environment - when clearly communicating with teammates can change one’s fate from annihilation to victory. By using Dolby headphone technology the AX 720 delivers a simulated 3D audio encounter that transitions the gaming experience from the virtual to the real world.

Serving high fidelity stereo sound through its performance balanced speakers, the AX 180 ensures the highest quality, brain-rumbling audio with independent game and chat volume controls for a recession-friendly price. Designed to convey audio and communication from the Xbox360, PS3 and PC as intended, along with the ability for analog connectivity with the ever-popular Wii system, the AX 180 establishes itself as a high performance universal stereo headset for $69.99.

Both gaming headsets are optimized for computer gaming with a USB connection for both PC and Mac®, while also being equipped with breakaway cables that allow connection to MP3 players or iPhones with use of optional cables - making TRITTON a universal option for headsets. TRITTON’s AX 180 and AX 720, selling at $69.99 and $129.99 respectively, will be found among the blurred crowd of competitor’s products on the elite shelves of Best Buy, and available at www.bestbuy.com.

IRVINE, CALIF. – Aug. 4, 2009 – It’s been a long time coming, but Huxley: The Dystopia is opening its doors – just a crack. The first twitch-action massively multi-player online first-person shooter (MMOFPS) moves into its second closed beta testing (CBT) stage today, inching closer to its highly-anticipated launch on the leading hardcore gaming portal, ijji.com. This round of CBT is now available to select players, and will continue through Aug.12, 2009.

“In anticipation of Huxley: The Dystopia, the excited rumblings from our community are a loud roar,” said Philip Yun, CEO, NHN USA, Inc. “This unique MMO and FPS hybrid has long captivated the interest of hardcore gamers everywhere, and players want to jump in and see how the fused genres play out. We are anxious to answer those calls for full-length, quality free-to-play titles online. Apologize to your consoles now – with Huxley you’re going to be playing on the PC for quite a while.”

This CBT opens up the full game client to fervent Huxley fans, showcasing a sci-fi world of outlandish characters and frenetic gameplay. Players accepted into the CBT can combat in deadly skirmish battles and adrenaline-rushing missions. Huxley: The Dystopia envelops players in a high-stakes challenge, where opponents are exceptionally savvy and the player versus environment (PvE) threatens gamers’ every move. Complete cities, rebuilt after barely surviving the near demise of civilization, now emerge in this beta, along with countless numbers of missions, weapons, armor, special items and even crafting.

Huxley: The Dystopia is a powerful combination of massively multi-player online (MMO) game character development elements and the twitch-based fast-action gameplay of an Unreal Engine 3-based first person shooter (FPS). Players are thrust into a dynamic world of crisp graphics and realistic environments, where they align themselves with one of two races, Sapiens or Alternatives, in the battle to harness dwindling resources in a war-torn land. Game play is endlessly peppered with attacks from and against the Hybrid, a mysterious third group born of the two races.

IRVINE, Calif. – Aug. 5, 2009 – Get ready to let off some steam! For the very first time, Atlus Online’s fantasy-steampunk massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent, is hosting a realm versus realm (RvR) showdown. Finally, the nations of Chrysalis can engage in all-out, large-scale war to gain glory and proprietorship across the divided lands. The latest update also allows players to utilize guild bases and guild rankings to coordinate and commiserate with fellow members in between exhaustive missions.

“Neo Steam is taking steampunk to never-before-seen levels with realm versus realm play,” says Tyler Kim, Director of the Online Division, Atlus U.S.A., Inc. “Including RvR in the game not only reiterates Atlus Online’s emphasis on including the entire community but also establishes Neo Steam as more than just another MMORPG.”

Atlus Online is known for its dedication to its community, which makes RvR combat a natural addition to the game. In order for players to lead their teams to victory, they need to work together using an array of tactics and tools. In addition to fighting on foot, players will pilot siege engines and construct a multitude of offensive and defensive pylons, such as transport cannons, gun turrets, and zeppelin bombing stations. Players level 50 and up can ride in demolishing siege engines, access never-before-seen areas, and ransack harrowing dungeons to annihilate monsters and solve mind-bending puzzles. Throughout these challenges, players will accumulate varying levels of prestige, which determines their personal and guild rankings. Along with the update comes the comfort of guild bases which grant the top guilds respite from the relentless barrage of the battlefield and which further spur players across the world to compete against each other to demonstrate their guild pride.

The battle over Neo Steam takes place between two warring states – the Kingdom of Elerd and the Republic of Rogwel. As the nations fight for domination over Rope Isle’s resources, the Crom mediators have divided the land so that each faction holds entitlement over a different side of the island. However, ownership of the central region of the island, where Energy Stones are most abundant, has never been allocated. To this day, the nations continue to wage war for dominance over this region, and the battles prove to be very profitable to whichever side can command the castles in the end. Adding to the immersive aspect of the fantasy-steampunk world in Atlus Online’s first MMO, the game also features various forms of steam-based machines and vehicles to interact with.

Gamers, Atlus Online fans, and those eager to partake in the massive battle can visit http://www.neosteam.atlusonline.com for more information and schedules.
