Leading video games publisher Namco Hometek Inc. announced today its highly
anticipated, internally developed tactical military shooter “kill.switch“â„¢
has shipped to retail outlets nationwide. Developed for the PlayStation®2
computer entertainment system and the Xbox® videogame system from Microsoft,
“kill.switch” is rated T for Teen.

“‘kill.switch’ is poised to make a significant impact in the third person
action military shooter genre this year,” said Matt Sentell, Senior Producer
at Namco Hometek Inc. “The demanding use of realistic warfare cover tactics
in ‘kill.switch’ compel the player to constantly assess and react to the situation
around them, something other games have attempted but not mastered.”

“kill.switch” promises an engaging combat experience by combining
highly explosive firepower with realistic cover tactics. The game’s lethal combination
of Blindfire gunplay allows frontal assaults against enemies without exposing
the player to counter fire, and its unique Offensive Cover System permits players
to engage enemies from cover with little personal risk. . .

Throughout the course of action, players must adapt to their immediate surroundings
and manage their environments with precision thinking while quickly adjusting
on the fly through six action-packed missions spanning 18 different levels.
Featuring diverse environments, players will take aim, take cover and take over
as their enemies approach with team-based tactics and attacks.
