Philips and Codemasters mave made an agreement to AmbX-enable five more PC games, including Overlord, Clive Barker’s Jericho, Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, Rise of the Argonauts and Operation Flashpoint 2. The announcement comes on the tail of the addition of AmbX to V8 Supercars Race Driver 3.

Shorthand for ‘ambient experiences’, AmbX is a milestone in the development of ambient intelligence and revolutionises the gameplay experience by extending the gaming world out of the screen and into the real world. AmbX will provide gamers with a full ‘sensory surround experience’ by equipping developers with a tool box to use light, colour, sound and even air flow through enabled devices, including the Philips amBX PC Gaming Peripherals range of LED colour-controlled lighting, rumble peripherals and desktop fans.

“We’ve been really impressed with the creativity the AmbX team has brought on-board following the recent Race Driver 3 implementation and unveiling our plans to AmbX-enable a further five demonstrates our commitment to this emerging and exciting platform,” commented Peter Chan, Business Development Manager, Codemasters. “We want to offer players of Codemasters games entirely new experiences and AmbX is going to allow us to deliver just that.”

Codemasters joins a rapidly growing list of games industry companies supporting AmbX-enabled games and peripherals, including THQ, Introversion, Kuju, Revolution, Sumo Digital, Rivers Run Red, Philips Peripherals & Accessories and SpectraVideo. Philips is currently in the closing stages of agreements with a number of other high profile companies regarding AmbX-enabling games.
