Three-dimensional experiences are taking over the film experience at movie theaters in 2009 and Disney Interactive Studios is leading the way in video games by introducing innovative stereoscopic 3-D features in Toy Story Mania! which features revolutionary innovative experiences using 3-D technology and are the first games for next-generation systems to fully feature three-dimensional stereoscopic technology.

Toy Story Mania! allows the player to choose to turn on special 3-D features in the games while wearing the enclosed 3-D glasses. Using the anaglyphic 3-D glasses, players will see the action extend forward from their television screens in a three-dimensional perspective while playing the games. Two sets of 3-D glasses will be enclosed in each package for players to experience visuals that seem to pop out from their television sets. The glasses enable both players to experience 3-D during a two-player Toy Story Mania! game. Both standard video game 3-D graphics and the stereoscopic 3-D experiences are offered in the games and can be changed by the player.

"Three-dimensional technology drives the future of entertainment and Disney Interactive Studios is leading the way in video games," said Brian Leake, vice president of technology, Disney Interactive Studios. "The stereoscopic 3-D innovation in G-Force and Toy Story Mania! adds to the already fun video game experiences for a wide audience and extends the gameplay by creating entirely new options for players."

Rob Neuman, a leading expert in 3-D technology and supervisor at Walt Disney Feature Animation, consulted on the 3-D effects in the G-Force video game with Disney Interactive Studios and developer Eurocom. Neuman has advised on the 3-D aspects of numerous Disney animated feature films.

"Like the 3-D effects in some feature films, the goal for adding 3-D in G-Force enabled the two miniature creatures – guinea pig Darwin and housefly Mooch – to appear to come forward from the screen, which creates a unique experience for the player," said Neuman. "The dawn of three-dimensional technology in films has taken over the Cineplex and it's obvious that video games are the next medium to see this trend."

Toy Story Mania!, exclusive for Wii, is inspired by the popular new four-dimensional attraction in both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort. Players can experience their favorite moments from the attraction in eye-popping 3-D from the comfort of their living rooms with family and friends. The popular Pie Throw game from the attraction is represented in theToy Story Mania! training level, and five additional levels based on the attraction are available as unlockables in the game's story mode. Toy Story Mania! will be available in Fall 2009. ...

New special offer from play asia:



A large war is whipping the world into a whirlwind, destroying numerous planets and lives. Although civilization allowed people to live in cities scattered across the universe, violence never stopped.

50 years ago, the demon queen led her invasion, and later came the virtual beasts. Both menaces were taken care of, however, the troubles with humans carries on.

Science and technology allowed people to alter their off spring's genes. Coordinators are people who are genetically adjusted and seemed to have better physical or mental attributes than normal natural borns.

The differences in abilities set the two types of people apart and grudges, as well as envy is the source of current strife.

Each camp, the Naturals and the Coordinators, has their military force and war is about to start. Board your robot and get ready to enter battle. The mechas come from a multitude of series, from the relatively new classic Gundam Seed to King Geiner.

Nintendo stealth announced a new Chibi-Robo game for the DS slated to come out later this month and they still haven’t said anything about it. Doing a little digging we discovered this upcoming Chibi-Robo game gives the little robot a little vacuum cleaner.

In Okaeri! Chibi-Robo! Happy Rich Oosouji (loosely Welcome Home Chibi-Robo! Happy, Rich Big Sweep) players plug-in to dust patrol. When you vacuum dirt you also get riches! Money can be spent on new tools for Chibi-Robo, but the altruistic robot’s goal is to make others happy. So, you can also use money and play interior designer in Jenny’s home.

Chibi-Robo learns the saying one man’s trash is another man’s treasure on July 23 in Japan. Nintendo of America has not announced plans to publish Okaeri! Chibi-Robo! Happy Rich Oosouji at this time.

Compile Heart, the company behind Cross Edge, has the license to Animax’s Hell Girl (aka Jigoku Shojo) anime. Hell Girl is a series about revenge. Anyone harboring animosity can log on to a website and condemn soul to hell. Of course, there’s a price to pay. Whoever condemns someone to hell also goes to hell when their life ends.

Compile Heart made a Hell Girl game for the Nintendo DS and now they’re working on Hell Girl: Mioyosuga for the PlayStation 2. The title is mystery adventure game and it’s slated for release on September 17.

No US release has been announced and I wouldn’t expect one… unless Compile Heart adapts Hell Girl with the movie Drag Me To Hell. You know, that could work!
