Nemesis Games is pleased to announce that Denis Loubet, illustrator of classic games such as Ultima and Wing Commander, is creating artwork for Gargantua, the giant monster MMO.

Denis is best known for his artwork on games such as the Ultima series and Wing Commander. His creative art adds to and enhances the unique style of the massively multiplayer game Gargantua. More information on Denis Loubet can be found at his website www.io.com/~dloubet/



Beginning on Sunday, November 1st, Nemesis Games began limited testing for their upcoming giant monster game.

Jeff Dee, President of Nemesis Games, said: “Our initial test went quite well, helping us to identify places where we can make improvements while demonstrating that our overall direction and underlying technology are sound.”

Closed testing began for playtesters that had emailed Nemesis Games asking to be included in the first early tests. Further tests will be forthcoming to balance and tune new content that is being added to the game.

Jeff Dee also had this to say about "Gargantua":

"My company, Nemesis Games, is building the first kaiju-themed massively multiplayer online game. The game, named 'Gargantua' (http://www.gargantuagame.com/) will allow players to create their own giant monsters and battle against opponents of ever-increasing difficulty (including one another), satisfying their monsters 'hungers' and gaining new monstrous abilities along the way. While we have not yet announced an official release date, development is already quite far along. We expect to launch in a matter of months."

Rodan And War Of The Gargantuas Coming To DVD Sept 9th!

Ever since I started building Japanese Sci Fi related websites way back in 2000, I have been receiving regular e-mails from fans asking, "Do you know where I can get my hands on a copy of War of the Gargantuas on DVD?" or "Do you know if War of the Gargantuas will be released here in America?". Likewise, whenever I went to an event or movie screening I would get hit with, "Is anyone ever going to release War of the Gargantuas on DVD?" I would generally have to stare at them blankly and utter "Um.....I don't know?" I would normally refer them to an importer where they could purchase a pricey Region 2 Japanese copy of the film that didn't come with any English subtitles.

I am finally happy to announce that "War of the Gargantuas" is finally getting a release here in America thanks to Classic Media. The film will be packaged, along with Rodan, in a special two DVD set that is scheduled to hit store shelves September 9th. Just like all of the prior kaiju related releases from Classic Media, both the Japanese and English-language versions of each movie will be included. There will also be a special 68-minute documentary entitled, "Bringing Godzilla Down To Size", directed by Norman England, written and produced by Ed Godziszewski and Steve Ryfle and narrated by Alex Cox, it features interviews with numerous actors and filmmakers associated with the Toho monster genre, including Akira Takarada, Hiroshi Koiumi, Shusuke Kaneko, Yoshio Tsuchiya, Shogo Tomiyama, Haruo Nakajima and many others.

There, now maybe you ravenous dogs can stop lighting up my e-mail!
