Codemasters Reveals GC07 Lineup

Codemasters has unveiled their lineup for next week’s Games Convention in Leipzig, and it looks to me like they’ll be having a fairly strong showing. Along with the aforementioned split-screen multiplayer for Overlord, the company is presenting two eagerly anticipated titles for the first time ever in playable form to the general public: Squad-based horror FPS Clive Barker’s Jericho and Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, playable for the first time ever at GC. I’m interested to see the reception Turning Point gets specifically as it’s an alternate reality WWII shooter that begins with Nazi forces invading New York. Still a bit of a sensitive topic in Germany I hear. Joining the two new games are Colin McRae: DiRT and a playable first look at the next Lord of the Rings Online update, The City of the Kings. Definitely a respectable showing from one of the oldest game developers in the UK. Details follow the leap of faith we call the jump.
