El Segundo, U.S.A. — CJ Games Global announced the release of the Police Navidad content update for its hit FPS District 187: Sin Streets. Celebrating the holidays in a war torn, post-apocalyptic world overrun by criminals, CJ Games Global bears the gift of three new maps, new holiday themed weapons and characters, and even a whole new mini-game arcade.

“The MarbleLand Mini-Game Arcade lets players take a break from the business of shooting to kill and allows them to try their luck in a set of mini games,” said Jon-Enée Merriex, Producer, CJ Games Global. “We’ll continue to update MarbleLand as a new form of entertainment for players needing a quick fix of gold and items.”

In addition to MarbleLand, player run VIP Rooms will now be available where entrants can purchase tickets using in-game gold as an entry fee. The entry fee money then goes into the pot for the room for players or teams to win.

“During room creation process, players will now be able to control settings that allow them to add an entry fee amount, anywhere from 5,000 to 30,000 gold.” said Merriex. “To make it a little more interesting, we’re subtracting 10 percent from each VIP Room pot played throughout the month and adding it into one giant pot to be won during Street Fight.”

Police Navidad Features include:

New Maps

• S2 Towers (Holiday) – This is the work holiday party you’ve always wanted. The S2 Towers will have a holiday overlay but will be a permanent map when the season is over.
• White Night – Deck the halls with…bodies. Available only during the holiday season, blast through blockades and turn opponents’ White Night into a bloody nightmare.
• Viper Room – Bring your knives but check your guns at the door. The seedy underground is lit up with shiny blades in this knives-only party.  It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

Seasonal Characters

• Santa Gangsta - What’s Christmas without the sound of jolly Old Saint Nick gunning down everything in his path.
• Rudolf Copper – A new character to guide your slay…against the Gangstas tonight and every night through the holidays.

Weapons

• FAMAS Holiday Edition: Nothing says Christmas like a new French Assault Rifle. Try the new holiday FAMAS out in the Christmas Arcade in MarbleLand.
• AK47 Holiday Edition: Themed re-skin of an old classic. The AK47 Holiday still packs a punch; only now with more holiday cheer.
• M4A1 Jade Edition: An exclusive version of the M4A1 with more ammo, better recoil and a nice new skin job.
• PSD-XR Splendor: This popular gun gets an update with a new skin, more ammo and improved recoil. The competition doesn’t stand a chance.
• Snowman Grenade: Pull the pin and get out of the way of this Snowman shaped grenade that explodes into joy-filled death.

Earlier this week it was revealed in the German magazine GameStar that a new game in the popular “SimCity” series was in the works.  Although no worldwide announcement has followed, a host of details are already available.

The game will be called SimCity, with no number or subtitle following it.  The graphics have been reworked, leading to more intricate and beautiful details, such as signs plastered up around town and on buildings along with people walking around and going through their lives, occasionally visiting eateries and other stores.

These details also add an extra element to the gameplay: it is now possible to see how a factory is running based on its animation.  At this point, however, there are no screenshots that actually depict how the finished game will look, as currently the only thing available is concept art.

The camera can also now be repositioned, moved around, and zoomed in and out, meaning fixed viewpoints are a thing of the past.  It is possible to zoom in on individual buildings and people, and doing so has a quirky effect: the closer the camera is zoomed in on the city, the louder the noises of the streets and people will become, but the farther out it is, the more quiet everything will seem.

The grid format the series has become associated with is getting redone, and it is now possible to create curved roads, as opposed to only straight ones, which will give the game a more realistic appearance.

Multiplayer has also been added, enabling trade between friends for different materials and resources, as well as leaderboards to show how individual players rank in terms of things like finance.  In addition, prices for resources in single-player may be regulated by the actual online economy of the game (although GameStar was vague here, leaving room for the possibility that the economy will be actually fluctuate based on events that happen in the real world).

Other bits shown reveal that buildings do not stay the same over the course of the game.  As time goes on buildings can unlock new powers, like a fire station being able to put out a fire that much quicker.  Graphs and charts telling the player the status of their city have also been simplified and made more modern in order to help make them more player-friendly.

At this time there is little other information available, but stay tuned for more details in coming months.
