Kameo's Magic Explained in Podcasts
Now you can pass the time until Xbox 360's release day listening to Rare tell you why their game will be not-bad.
Rare's upcoming Xbox 360 game Kameo: Elements of Power has walked a messy path to its looming launch alongside Microsoft's next-gen hardware. The game has jumped from Nintendo, to whom Rare was previously betrothed, to Microsoft, passing through four consoles on the way. The developers at Rare are now offering you a glimpse into the final product with a series of podcasts going out until the end of the year.
The weekly podcasts - basically audio blogs - will go into detail about the game, giving you a glimpse at its rich world and everything living within it.
The first part, available for download now, goes into the mythical Wotnot book and treats you to an expose of the titular Element of Power, a magical stone that gives the wearer - that would be Kameo - morphing abilities.
To get hold of the podcast and to subscribe to future instalments, head on over to the official Kameo: Elements Of Power site.
The game, which is already on shelves in the US, is expected to launch alongside the Xbox 360 in Europe on 2 December. Microsoft will be revealing its full launch line-up within the coming weeks.
