Games are
recession-proof, right? Well,
maybe not, but that's not going to stop National Geographic from making a videogame label. Dubbed National Geographic Games, the for-profit division will focus on creating software to further spread geographic knowledge. The new division's first game, 'Herod's Lost Tomb,' will be available as a free download for PC, Mac, and
iPhone, while upcoming games will be developed for the
Nintendo Wii,
PlayStation 3, and other handheld devices.
Believe it or not, National Geographic already has a game, made in partnership with Namco Bandai for the Nintendo DS, titled
'National Geographic: Panda.' Similarly, Sony has a National Geographic-like PlayStation 3 game released in Japan titled
'Afrika.' Could this the National Geographic: Africa game referred to National Geographic Games'
press release? Hmm...
