Highly-Anticipated Titles Such As BioShock, Sid Meier’s Civilization® Revolution™ And NHL® 2K8 Will Be on Display At Hotel Casa Del Mar

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--2K Games and 2K Sports, publishing labels of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), today announced a strong line-up for the E3 Media & Business Summit 2007 in Santa Monica, California, from July 11-13, 2007. The 2K Games line-up includes the highly-anticipated first person shooter, BioShock, as well as the debut of Sid Meier’s Civilization® Revolution™. The 2K Sports line-up features the next installments from top-rated franchises, including NHL® 2K8 and All-Pro Football 2K8. Game demonstrations will take place at the Hotel Casa Del Mar, in the Crimson Room and Board Room, and at the Barker Hangar.

2K Games’ Line-up Includes:

BioShock

BioShock is the "genetically enhanced" first person shooter that lets players do things never before possible in the genre – turn everything into a weapon, biologically modify your body with plasmids, hack devices and systems, upgrade weapons and craft new ammo variants, and experiment with different battle techniques.

Gamers enter the game as a cast-away in Rapture, an underwater Utopia torn apart by civil war. Caught between powerful forces and hunted down by genetically modified “splicers" and deadly security systems, players have to come to grips with a deadly, mysterious world filled with powerful technology and fascinating characters. No encounter ever plays out the same and no two gamers will play BioShock the same way.

BioShock will also be featured at Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Games for Windows booths at the Loews Hotel.

That's funny, I thought Fall 2008 came AFTER Spring 2008. Wii gets the game LAST, not first.

Looking better than Namco's line-up!

Why would we want a hockey game?

God this frustrates me.

Good catch guys. I was in a hurry to post this and mixed that up. Fixed.

No Hockey game makes me angry. You won't like me when I'm angry.

Also, happy to see that we ARE getting Civ:Rev after all. I'm fine with waiting till fall for it.

Wii getting Civilization late.

Translation: Take Two jumps on the bandwagon midway through development.

They should jump on the bandwagon with GTA "stories" Ports.
