ARUSH Entertainment, Groove Games and Digitalo Set to Unleash Devastation at E3

        Next-Generation Unreal Technology and Real-World Physics Power
             Newpost-Apocalyptic, Team-Based First-Person Shooter

    SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Global video games publisher
ARUSH Entertainment, in conjunction with Groove Games and Digitalo, today
announced Devastation, a new team-based first-person shooter (FPS) built on a
heavily modified next-generation Unreal engine.  Set on a post-apocalyptic
Earth, Devastation pits teams of rebelling gang leaders, street fighters,
mercenaries, and ex-military operatives together against armies of corrupt,
high-tech corporate police in a battle to win control of a devastated world.
    Devastation has a dynamic tactical component that allows the gamer to
decide how much control to exert over non-player character teammates, from
giving individual commands to giving no commands at all -- game players can
coordinate an 8-person attack, or go in guns blazing, it's their choice.  With
32 different areas, more than 30 different weapons, numerous multiplayer game
styles and over-the-top graphics, Devastation offers FPS fans a captivating
experience.
    "I was blown away the first time I saw this game," said ARUSH
Entertainment president and CEO Jim Perkins.  "Devastation is a gunshot-to-
the-head kind of experience: it's edgy, it's raw, and it'll shock your
senses."
    The game not only uses next-generation Unreal technology, but it also
incorporates real-world physics, providing for realistic object movements and
incredible rag-doll deaths.  The environment is completely interactive, where
everything can be destroyed or manipulated-use garbage in the streets to set
traps, or pick up broken bottles and slash your enemies.  The use of sound in
the game is dynamic as well -- it can be manipulated or muffled to create
diversions or to move around stealthily.
    The advanced artificial intelligence controls enemies and teammates with
micro-behaviors and heightened awareness.  Teammates provide intelligent
cooperation and assistance -- they almost seem too real.  Also, bots react
differently each time the game is played, lending incredible replay value.
    "We have made significant enhancements to the already amazing Unreal
technology," said Vic DeLeon, Senior Producer of Digitalo.  "The graphics in
Devastation are so in-your-face that you'll think you're in the latest
Hollywood thriller, and the environments and gameplay will suck you right in."
    Devastation, currently in the pre-beta stage of its development, is being
shown at the Electronic Entertainment Expo this week, by appointment only.
