SANTA
CLARA, Calif., (June 14, 2005) – Leading video games developer and
publisher Namco Hometek Inc. announced today that "Dead to Rights(R):
Reckoning" has gone gold. A brand new adventure created
exclusively for the PSP(TM) portable entertainment system, "Dead to
Rights: Reckoning" features a new selection of hard-hitting moves
and disarms, an original storyline and wireless multiplayer action for
up to four players. "Dead to Rights: Reckoning" will be
launching on June 28 and is rated M for Mature by the ESRB.
"Dead
to Rights: Reckoning" finds tough cop Jack Slate and his canine
counterpart, Shadow, once again thrust into Grant City's web of crime
and deception. Tracking down an important informant who has been
kidnapped by a major crime lord, Jack makes his way through the City's
toughest neighborhoods. Using the series’ trademark blend of
film noir and cinematic style action, Jack teaches lowlife criminals a
lesson they will never forget as he fights to complete his mission.
In addition to the franchise’s classic moves such as slow motion
dives, dual wielding and bone shattering disarms, Jack can now engage in
fire fights from a prone position and engage enemies using the brutal
dive tackle disarm. For the first time in the "Dead to
Rights" series, players can utilize the wireless capabilities of
the PSP system to engage in multiplayer deathmatches for up to four
players.

to Rights: Reckoning' sets a new precedent for explosive action on the
PSP system with original moves and wireless gameplay that lets
adrenaline-junkies enjoy hard-boiled
shootouts
with their friends," said Pierre Roux, executive producer with
Namco Hometek Inc. "The 'Dead to Rights' series has always
been about larger-than-life action, and now fans can experience this
all-new action thriller anywhere with the PSP system.”
