Posted by John Grothier - PlayStation 2,GameCube,Xbox,PC - UK and Europe

Vivendi Universal Games today announced its multi-platform product line-up for the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). Among the highly anticipated games will be Blizzard Entertainment's StarCraft: Ghost, which is a tactical-action console game set in Blizzard's epic StarCraft universe. Blizzard will also showcase World of Warcraft, its massively multi-player online role playing game.

"VU Games' strategy of releasing fewer games of higher quality based on bigger, better franchises is clearly reflected in our E3 line-up for 2005," said Bruce Hack of VU Games. "Blizzard's masterpiece franchises, StarCraft and World of Warcraft, are a cornerstone of VU Games' business and will be a major focus for us at E3. We are thrilled to debut 50 Cent: Bulletproof and Scarface: The World is Yours, which will be a first look for both titles. We are also expecting a strong reception for F.E.A.R., Crash, and The Hulk."

Below we have some additional game information for the titles on display at VU Games' E3 booth (#1200) located in the South Hall of the Los Angeles Convention:

StarCraft: Ghost is a tactical-action console game set in Blizzard's epic StarCraft universe. In StarCraft: Ghost, players take part in the struggle for galactic domination as Nova, a deadly Ghost operative in the employ of the Terran Dominion. Twenty years of ruthless physical conditioning and techno-psychological instruction have transformed Nova into a being of terrifying potential. As she progresses through a series of story-driven missions, Nova is required to engage in a number of dangerous infiltration operations and deadly planetary battles. To complete Nova's mission objectives, players must execute intelligent tactical decisions while mastering an advanced arsenal of sophisticated weaponry and Nova's own psionic abilities.

World of Warcraft is an online role-playing experience set in the award-winning Warcraft� universe. Players assume the roles of Warcraft heroes as they explore, adventure, and quest across a vast world. World of Warcraft is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, which allows thousands of players to interact within the same world. Whether adventuring together or fighting against each other in epic battles, players will form friendships, forge alliances, and compete with enemies for power and glory.

50 Cent: Bulletproof 50 Cent gets caught in a web of corruption, double-crosses, and shady deals that lead him on a bloody path through New York's drug underworld. Teaming up with his G Unit crew, 50 Cent takes on the most dangerous crime families in the city, uncovering an international conspiracy with devastating implications. 50 Cent: Bulletproof is more than a game, it's a celebration of everything 50. The music, the lifestyle and the gritty look at urban life all come together to create a unique entertainment experience never seen before. 50 Cent: Bulletproof is scheduled for release in Fall 2005 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox - while a PSP version is expected in Spring 2006.

Scarface: The World is Yours based on the epic film, this title puts players in a complex world filled with excess and greed, players can take the role of Tony Montana, one of the most ruthless gangsters ever depicted on film. Highly acclaimed feature screenwriter, David McKenna, has written an original event-driven storyline that leads the player through a sordid and violent underworld. Scarface: The World is Yours is scheduled for release in 2006 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, PC and also a next-gen console.

F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon) is a paranormal action thriller presented entirely in first person. An unidentified paramilitary force infiltrates a multi-billion dollar aerospace compound, taking hostages but issuing no demands. The government responds by sending in special forces, but loses contact as an eerie signal interrupts radio communications. When the interference subsides moments later, the team has been obliterated in an inexplicable wave of destruction. As part of a classified strike team created to deal with threats no one else can handle, your mission is simple, contain this crisis before it spirals out of control. Cutting edge graphics and sound combine with eerie special effects and gripping gameplay promise to produce one of the most immersive PC titles ever.

Crash Tag Team Racing after being humiliated yet again by Crash Bandicoot at the end of Twinsanity, Dr. Neo Cortex returns to his evil scheming in his dilapidated Iceberg Lair. He hatches a sinister plan to challenge Crash to a seemingly friendly race competition...with plans of crushing the hapless bandicoot under the ruins of the hazardous racetrack! Players can continue their adventures on foot with out-of-car action, allowing them to traverse an amusement park-like world where they can interact with other characters, collect items and complete mini-missions. Crash Tag Team Racing is scheduled for release late in the year for the PlayStation 2, Xbox GameCube, DS and PSP.

The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction players will be able to jump anywhere, climb anything and smash everything - even destroy entire buildings - as the Hulk. Based on The Incredible Hulk character franchise from Marvel Enterprises, this non-stop action and destruction-packed game is designed to be the best superhero game ever created. Players will create their own Hulk-powered weapons from almost anything they can rip out of the environment, unlock new moves to battle a variety of huge enemies in epic boss fights and experience deep and varied game elements by exploring free-roaming non-mission and side mission gameplay. The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction is scheduled for release in August 2005 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube. We think one to look out for.

Much more on E3 2005 - as we get it.
