Print Casual games developer and publisher Legacy Interactive announced their agreement with Encore, a wholly owned subsidiary of Navarre Corporation, to distribute the popular Microïds adventure video games to all North American portals as digital downloads.
The agreement will include the highly anticipated titles Dracula 3: The Path of the Dragon the latest sequel in the Dracula series, as well as Sinking Island by Benoit Sokal, the creator of the renowned Syberia franchise. Both downloads are available today to coincide with the retail release of the games.
Dracula 3: The Path of the Dragon is the newest installment in the original Dracula series. Based on Bram Stoker's universe, Dracula 3 takes players to Europe on a suspenseful quest to discover the reality of vampires and come face-to-face with Dracula. As Father Arno Moriani, players must travel to Transylvania to investigate a potential candidate for sainthood.
Along the way players are submerged into a gripping storyline with numerous challenging and engaging puzzles to solve that leads to a final confrontation with Dracula!
Sinking Island is a gripping detective story that combines suspense and intrigue. As an investigator sent to a luscious tropical island to solve the murder of a multi-billionaire hotel developer, players must sort through 10 suspects to the crime as a storm rages on the island. In Sinking Island players have only three days to solve the mystery before the island and the mystery disappears into the ocean.
Dracula Resurrection and Dracula 2: The Last Sanctuary are the first two titles in the Dracula series of adventure games that are inspired by the world of Bram Stoker.
Still Life is an adventure game for the avid adventure gamer where you play as a Chicago FBI agent and need to solve a gruesome murder.
Syberia and Syberia 2 Kate Walker's Adventures are third-person adventure titles that follow Kate Walker, a young ambitious lawyer, in her quest to unlock the secret of Syberia.
The digital downloads of Still Life 2 and Nostradamus will also be released at the same time as the retail versions of the games later this year. Additionally, Legacy will be releasing titles from Microïds back catalogue online.

| Silent Hill: Homecoming November 29, 2008 I was eagerly awaiting
the latest installment in the Silent Hill series, hoping to get back that
familiar feeling of fear that only the eerie universe of Silent Hill can
produce. A new developer means the game has taken a different path and while a
new approach is not always a good thing, it seems that "Double Helix Games" has
done a good job of making a game that can stand up to its predecessors and is worthy
of the name Silent Hill 5.

| MotorStorm: Pacific Rift October 22, 2008 MotorStorm was one of the few exclusive PS3 games, that had a really big success at the official launch of PS3 in US and Europe. Later sold also as a bonus product for the bundle PS3 packages, MotorStorm succeeded in creating a big fan-base especially after Sony introduced downloadable content in the first version of Playstation Network. MotorStorm: Pacific Rift is the sequel to this successful franchise considered by many as MotorStorm 2. Still developed by Evolution Studios and using a modified version of the first Motorstorm graphical engine, Pacific Rift is scheduled to be released on 28 October 2008 in North America, and later for the rest of the world.

| Motorm4x October 16, 2008 Developed by former guys from Illusion Softworks (known for Mafia), MOTORM4X is a mixture of 1NSANE and Screamer 4x4. Keeping in mind these were off-road racing games, MOTORM4X follows the same idea, featuring non-linear events (similar to GTA concept) and a physics engine that might excel even Baja: Edge of Control.

| PT Boats: Knights of the Sea October 3, 2008 I was among the lucky few who got the chance of playing the demo version of the highly anticipated title from Akella: "PT Boats: Knights of the Sea", and I must say this naval combat simulator has all the assets needed to become the next big thing in the genre industry. The dazzling graphics, complex yet accessible gameplay, real life inspired scenarios and the unique flavor of a maritime confrontation all in the background of the ever intriguing World War 2 concur in creating a game of huge potential.
