Sierra shows us The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

Filed under: Nintendo DS, Sony PlayStation 2, Nintendo Wii, Action

In a surprise announcement that completely defies typical industry practices, Sierra has revealed that it will soon capture the “intense action-adventure, fantastic creatures and epic locations” in Hollywood’s third money-making Mummy movie and then stick it all into a game. Developed by Eurocom for the Wii and PlayStation 2 (and by A2M for the DS), The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor will closely follow the events of this August’s reanimation of long-dead material, complete with “a fast and fluid combat system and an arsenal of weaponry that can be used to vanquish the many bone-chilling enemies.”

There’s also allude of “hieroglyphic decoding gameplay elements,” but we figure Sierra had you at the whole movie tie-in thing. Look for the evil to be resurrected on July 22nd.

Rumor: Daxter and Wipeout Pulse porting to PS2

Filed under: Sony PlayStation 2, Sony PSP, Action, Driving, Business

French site Jeuxvideo.fr states that PSP games Daxter and Wipeout Pulse are being ported to the PS2. The story seems probable considering how many PSP to PS2 ports there have been, but at this time it’s an unconfirmed rumor.

Given the history of high-profile PSP games like R&C: Size Matters and the GTAs being ported to the the PS2, we have to wonder if GoW: Chains of Olympus and Secret Agent Clank will make the leap at some point; the Chains of Olympus port rumor is already old news.
