Hey There!

Today we at Mad Catz have some pretty exciting news to announce!

Some of you guys may remember that last E3 we teased a new game named 'War Wings: Hell Catz', well, it's had a name change and a lot of new development!

Damage Inc. Pacific Squadron WWII arrives late summer on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.  We thought it be cool to make a historically accurate painstaking recreation of World War II aerial manoeuvres.  We then came to our senses and decided to give gamers more of what they want, blowing stuff up!  In truth, Damage Inc. should satisfy history buffs and arcade fans alike, taking place exclusively over the Pacific Theatre of WWII.  It begins on the attack of Pear Harbor and features a campaign that delivers over 20 hours of arcade style aerial combat, extensive multi-player and co-op modes and over 30 legendary aircraft to fly.

And it gets better, along with the game; Mad Catz will also be releasing a Collector’s Edition which includes a host of extras as well as its very own flight stick!  The Pacific AV8R is inspired by WWII combat aircraft and has been designed to take the game to a whole new level...

Damage Inc. will form a huge part of our E3 show this year and will be fully playable to all visitors.  Right here and now however we'd like to like to offer you guys’ access to a whole heap of assets which are not under embargo and are free for you to use and post NOW!

The official website: www.damageincthegame.com is live.  Click on the following link to be taken directly to the press area: www.damageincthegame.com/media/press

Here you can find hi-res shots and videos which you are free to use as you wish. Should you have trouble accessing, ping me and I will send over the shots directly.  I have also enclosed an early Reviewers Guide.  This is NOT to be posted publicly and is for information purposes only.  It should tell you all you need to know about the game and Collectors Edition AV8R Stick.

I should have final review code after E3, however, I'm pleased to offer preview code to selected outlets.  Previews are only available on Xbox 360 and require a Dev box to use.  The demo contains a couple of full missions for you to try out, ideal for previews.  Should you require a disc, please drop me a line ASAP as I only have limited numbers.  We're working on PS3 previews and I will keep those interested informed.

So there we go, Damage Inc. Pacific Squadron WWII arrives on console this summer!  If this email is not directly relevant to you, I apologize in advance.  If you could kindly forward to a member of your games team however, it would be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks guys, we're hopping to get the game off to a flying start (Sorry) and look forward to sharing more with you all at E3.

Cheers!
