Facey Spaces and Focus Tests

We don't have any focus groups planned for the immediate future but if you live in the New York City area and are interested in being considered in the future for tests of Homefront and other future games, your best bet is to join our all-new Kaos Studios Focus Testers page on Facebook!

Again, the tests are open to New York City area residents only! However, we do need to get 100 people to join the group so we can get a custom username for the page, so if you can join the group even if you don't live around NYC it would be appreciated. Thanks!

"Steal" This Game!

Award winning columnist and "Game Dork" writer Doug Elfman has struck again! He previously sang our praises and has once again recommended gamers pick up Frontlines: Fuel of War!

"Frontlines: Fuel of War (THQ) was my pick for the most underrated online game of 2008, and now it's selling in used-game stores and online for $15, a steal. It comes with a solo, offline war, of course, where you move from point to point on battlefields, shooting rival soldiers with machine guns, tanks and bombs. That action-adventure is pretty good, pretty simple and fairly short. But online, it's just amazingly addictive."

THANKS DOUG!

"Frontlines: Fuel Of War is coming to GameTap, courtesy of THQ. Frontlines: F.O.W. is a military FPS set in the near future that bears a strong resemblance in gameplay to the Battlefield series.

UPDATE: Gamespot preview and trailer posted! http://e3.gamespot.com/story/6210629/homefront-exclusive-impressions-e3-first-look

THQ today announced Homefront, a new First Person Shooter from Kaos Studios. Penned by John Milius (Apocalypse Now, Red Dawn), Homefront is set ten years into a global energy crisis, and follows the American Civilian Resistance as they fight to reclaim their homeland from an oppressive North Korean occupation. With the fourth largest standing army in the world, the now nuclear North Korea has overtaken not only South Korea, but has become a major internal threat to a struggling United States. Details of the occupation will be revealed in future updates, as well as having mysteries unraveled in the single player campaign.

Featuring a personal, story-driven single player campaign and a full suite of multiplayer options, Homefront is scheduled for release on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC. Homefront will be unveiled at E3 2009 in THQ’s booth – number 5300 in the West Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center.

"Homefront isn't about going to war on the other side of the world or battling aliens from another planet; it's about fighting foreign occupiers in your own backyard and defending your right to live," said David Votypka, design director, Kaos Studios. "Homefront combines the unsettling notion of an occupied America with interactive, player-driven narratives to create a deeply engaging single and multiplayer experience."

"Kaos Studios is using powerful narrative and environmental storytelling to create a plausible, near-futuristic setting where the people of a once mighty nation must fight to maintain their existence," said Kevin Kraff, vice president of global brand management, THQ. "This harsh backdrop will be the foundation for an emotionally-charged single-player campaign and an intense multiplayer experience."
