Oxygen Shows Off Conspiracy
The world is overrun by a government agency more concerned with financial gain than world security. Thanks goodness it's only a game. New screens inside.
Hans Blix was duped - the reason WMDs were nowhere to be found in Iraq is because they were actually sitting in the hands of a rogue government organisation known as Hydra, which is planning to sell the nukes to the highest bidder. Well, at least that's how the story goes in Conspiracy: Weapons of Mass Destruction.
The game is just one of several all-too-real terrorism-tainted games headed to consoles over the new few months. Faced with the prospect of getting lost in the crowd, developer Kuju Interactive - also working on Advance Wars: Under Fire for Nintendo - has reacted accordingly and released a fresh batch of screenshots that show off its take on the sombre subject and some of the exotic locales you'll be whisked away to.
In addition to run-and-gun gameplay starring the brilliantly named Cole Justice, the game promises a story filled with conspiracy and guaranteed to give you the heebie-jeebies.
Conspiracy: Weapons of Mass Destruction is being put through its final testing phases at the moment and will be released for PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC in May. More information about Conspiracy: Weapons Of Mass Destruction can be found at the game's official site.
