<b>Press Release</b>
Gingerbread Studios Unleashes THE PROTECTOR

Toruń, Poland (16th May, 2008) - Newly formed Polish developer Gingerbread Studios today announced The Protector, a thrilling PC and Xbox 360 first/third person shooter featuring visceral action, tense, tactical stealth and an enthralling storyline.

The Protector centres on the exploits of two vastly different characters - hardened British mercenary Jonathan Kane and beautiful US archaeologist Jennifer Guile. After an acrimonious two-year estrangement, these two former lovers are reunited when Jennifer's father - a leading archaeologist - is murdered by a new terrorist organisation called Scarlet Vengeance, which is looking for a powerful Aztec artefact to use for a devastating terrorist attack. When Scarlet Vengeance's attentions turn to Jennifer - the only person who knows the location of the artefact - Kane is forced to track her down and protect her. Thrown together in extreme circumstances, the duo must overcome their differences and use their unique skills to thwart the terrorists' horrifying plan.

'Gingerbread Studios has taken the theme of South American mythology and masterfully injected it into a contemporary setting that reflects the escalating threat of global terrorism within the modern day world,' said James Cato, CEO of Gingerbread Studios. 'The Protector's two distinct playable characters and eclectic mix of action and stealth make it highly unique, while its branching, thrilling plot promises to keep gamers captivated till the end credits roll.'

<b>Features:</b>

* Play as both Jonathan Kane - a hardened British mercenary and former MI6 agent trained in counter-terrorist tactics - and Jennifer Guile - a beautiful and wily US archaeologist.
* Two distinct gameplay modes - searing, tactical shooting action (Kane) and tense, stealth sections (Jennifer).
* Use your environment to hide and take cover. Enter into third-person mode when in cover to acquire a better overview of your surroundings. Lean out from behind cover to engage your enemies with minimal exposure. Blind fire around corners when severely pinned down.
* Superb world physics where objects are splintered, shattered and sent flying by barrages of bullets and explosions, creating massively believable battlefields. The player can even shoot enemies - and be shot - through thin walls, adding a further tactical element.
* Enemies intelligently seek out and utilise cover - just like you.
* Disarm enemies by shooting the weapons from their hands, leaving the enemies vulnerable. Once an enemy has been disarmed, they must either reach for a sidearm or run for cover - both of which take time.
* Enemy AI uses lifelike line of sight and hearing to determine your whereabouts. Enemies are more vulnerable in darker areas, while their lifelike reactions to sight and sound also provide the perfect environment for stealth-based gameplay.
* Fully interactive world, populated by civilians, commuters, students and workers who intelligently react to their surroundings and situations.
* Wide range of enemy types, ranging from elite terrorist forces to mythical Aztec creatures.
* Intriguing plot featuring two very different endings, depending on your choices.
* Challenging puzzles and mini games.

seriuosly majority are though,nothing to be excited about,it seems the xbox360 is attracting pc dev or encouraging devs to make pc like games becuase the xbox360 is built like pc & it easy for them to make the game for both.

The argument against that is simple. Some people cannot afford a decent gaming rig year in year out and so their only option is the 360 version so there is definitely a market for it.

I am a PC Gamer first and foremost and I will ALWAYS buy the PC version of the game if I am buying because I know it will look and play better on my system but that still doesnt stop me from buying 360 and PS3 games. Sometimes you just need to play a game on a big TV and thats something that a PC cannot give you. I know you can hook it up but unless you have a 30" Dell Ultrasharp monitor it just doesnt look the same!

i fully agree with what you said but i'm surprised to get this kind of good response on maxconsole i thought the first reply would be from xbot crying & pleading for a ban,"ditching my xbox360 How dare him do something like that" :confused: :D

Hmm...

It's going to be a solid game with awesome atmosphere or a total crapfest.
Every Polish game turns out one way or the other.

Prime examples of some great Polish games:

Painkiller, The Witcher, Call of Juarez (if you're a spaghetti western fan).

Personally, I cannot wait for "Dead Isle". Could be best zombie game ever, leaving Dead Rising far, far behind.


By the way - the upcoming, new Indiana Jones game is going to devour Drake's Fortune. Euphoria midware included! Can't hardly wait.
