HEAD 2 HEAD GAMES TEAMS WITH MICROSOFT CANADA FOR DUNGEON SIEGE II® GAME PREMIER, AUGUST 19, LONDON, ON.
LONDON, ON August XX, 2005 - Head 2 Head Games, North America's oldest computer gaming center, is hosting a huge bash for its 10th anniversary on August 19, and will be giving gamers a sneak preview of Microsoft's Dungeon Siege II®, the newest installment of the hugely popular Dungeon Siege series.
Head 2 Head Games is a member center of iGames, the world's leading game center organization. The official game premier of Dungeon Siege II® which is being hosted by over 40 iGames member centers across North America occurs on Saturday August 20th.
Gamers are invited to come to Head 2 Head for a free three-hour session from 11 am 2 pm, where they can sample Dungeon Siege II® both in single player and multiplayer mode, taking advantage of Revolutionary Online Multi-Party Gaming, where players can play on LAN or online to work cooperatively, or competitively, to complete quests. A second three-hour session will be run from 8 pm-11 pm, with pizza and pop available for all participants.
In Dungeon Siege II®, the sequel to the best-selling RPG from Gas Powered Games, you will be called on to again wield sword and spell to save the world from a growing abomination many years in the making.
A thousand years ago, the crusaders of Azunai crossed swords with the legions of Zaramoth in the final battle of a century-long rebellion. As the tyrannical god Zaramoth struck the final blow through Azunai's trembling shield, the earth shook. In that moment, the forces of magic were unchained, and both armies were consumed in a brilliant cataclysm that stretched for leagues across the Plain of Tears. Only a scarred wasteland remained as final testament to the First Age of Man.
And for a millennium, magic has continued to spread to the farthest corners of the world, freely flowing to any who would command it. But the tide of magic has begun to wane, heeding instead the call of an ancient legacy. From the Plain of Tears a new heir beckons, and with each day his strength grows consuming all those who submit, eradicating those foolish enough to resist. With none to oppose his ascendance, the circle will be complete, and an ancient age will begin anew.
