NEW YORK PREMIERE AT NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL 2007 IN THEATRES OCTOBER 15, 2007 (Limited) Film legend Peter Bogdanovich (THE LAST PICTURE SHOW) directs this epic exploration of American rock band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Clocking in at nearly four hours, this documentary is essential viewing for anyone interested in the band's decades-spanning career.

Following the snowballing success of Katamari Damacy, Namco challenges players to roll it all up again in this sequel. As in the original, a tank-tracks styled control scheme has players using both analog sticks to roll a sticky ball around each of the game's colorful levels, gathering nearly every object the ball touches to make it grow larger. The biggest change in We Love Katamari may be the multiplayer modes, in which two characters must work together to move the ball, each controlling the equivalent of one analog stick. Other new features include the ability to pause the game and examine the level from various perspectives (including a "King of Cosmos'"-eye view from above), the chance to take pictures with an in-game camera, and a choice of background music before levels.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto blends classic elements of real-time strategy and 3D action in an interactive, organic environment. Violent power struggles take place on over 25 island settings. Both first- and third-person views are available, as well as special camera angles like Kabuto's "mouth-cam." Gamers can choose to play one of three different species in the plot-driven single-player campaign or in customizable multiplayer battles. Giants: Citizen Kabuto takes place on a life-supporting asteroid, far out in space. The game's namesake is an enormous bipedal creature who has lived upon the asteroid for as long as he can remember. The waters of this land are inhabited by Sea Reapers, magical vixens protected by strange, fearsome creatures. The Meccaryns began a group of vacationing young men... Less

A young boy in a magical world has been born with a strange deformity: large horns that jut out of both sides of his head. The people of his village, fearful of retribution from above, feel they have no choice but to sacrifice this mutant child to appease their gods. To that end, they have taken this boy, named Ico, to a massive, supposedly deserted castle and left him in a giant urn. But when the urn breaks, spilling Ico into the bowels of the fortress, he will soon find his adventure is just beginning. Along the way he'll meet a mysterious princess who has been held captive in the castle for untold years. Although they cannot communicate through speech, they soon forge an unspoken bond, and it is clear that if either of them wants to make it out of the castle alive, their destinies must... Less

Star Trek: Conquest blends turn-based strategy and real-time combat from on board starships featured in the television series, Star Trek: The Next Generation. Six playable factions include the Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Cardassian, Dominion, and Breen forces. The goal is to control the entire galaxy, so players must build structures, commission admirals, research technology, and manage fleets during a strategic phase. Fleets of up to seven vessels are deployed on a galactic map, whose size varies based on the number of opposing races. Entering enemy territory automatically switches the game to a battle phase, which can be carried out in a real-time, action-oriented event or simulated for a more tactical feel. In addition to the custom campaign, players can jump into a skirmish mode... Less

Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors join forces in this anachronistic crossover release by Japanese developer Omega Force. A total of 77 combatants are available to play as or against, brought together in one time period by the powerful Serpent King Orochi in an arrogant attempt to determine the mightiest warrior. The heroes from Ancient China and Feudal Japan include Yoshimoto Imagawa, Goemon Ishikawa, Lu Bu, Nobunaga Oda, Cao Cao, and other legends. A new team battle system has players creating custom three-man squads and controlling their choice of characters in melee combat. While one character actively participates in battle, the remaining two will recover from damage until players decide to switch control at any time during battle. Four original storylines are available to follow... Less

Konami's celebrated soccer series returns to PlayStation 2 with an emphasis on improved control and strategy on the pitch. Revamped animations and physics are designed to offer more lifelike results, from acceleration and tackling to jostling and blocking. The presentation features over 1000 new animations in total, taken from more than 100 hours of motion-captured recordings of athletes. Other changes include improvements to defender artificial intelligence, so that they better hold their positions, and an enhanced passing system. A new shot and stamina meter lets you see each athlete's current level of fitness at a glance, which is important since sprinting now has a detrimental effect on player performance and abilities over time.

The Adventures of Cookie and Cream is a 3D platformer that can be played as a single- or multiplayer game. Players must guide the two cartoonish, bunny-like characters (Cookie and Cream) through parallel courses that usually scroll from the top of the screen. As the characters run side by side up their individual tracks, they often come to obstacles that block the path for one or both of them. In cooperative games, the character on one side can help clear the obstacle for his partner by manipulating objects on his or her side of the screen. In competitive games, the character on one side of the screen may hinder the progress of the character on the other side in a similar manner. Since character movement is performed using one analog stick, it is possible for two players to use the same... Less
