Deep Silver At Games Convention 2008

Publisher Deep Silver is teaming up partners GSC Game World, Ascaron Entertainment, and Game Life to form a rather impressive presence at the Games Convention 2008 next week. On the more hardcore side of things we’ll see a definite slant towards PC gaming, with the adventure game Secret Files 2 – Puritas Cordis, Piranha Bytes new RPG Risen, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, and X3: Terran Conflict, along with the Sacred 2: Fallen Angel for the PC, PS3, and 360 and their Wii survival horror game Curs3ed Mountain.

They’ll also be showing off a range of family-friendly DS titles, including their Let’s Play line (Let’s Play Teacher, Let’s Play Vet…Let’s Play Doctor, perhaps?), along with two pet sims from Game Life – Horse Life and Baby Life. Okay, so a baby isn’t technically a pet. They’d just be much more enjoyable if you treated them as such. “Honey, did you let the baby out?” See? Much more entertaining. Hit the jump for more details on Deep Silver’s line up!
