2WG Media, a subsidiary of Red Mile Entertainment, has shipped its new PC action game El Matador to North American retailers.

El Matador places players in the role of a DEA agent Victor Corbet, who’s knee-deep in a South American drug war and charged with the task of taking down drug barons and their cartels. Developed by Plastic Realities, the game features a “movie-like” plot, AI-driven teammates, an enormous arsenal of weapons, and interactive environment with destructible objects, and real physics simulations with ragdoll effects.

El Matador will more than satisfy gamers looking for an exhilarating third-person shooter,” said Chester Aldridge, CEO of 2WG’s parent company, Red Mile Entertainment. “The story of corruption, revenge, moral ambiguity and ultimate justice will unfold as players are immersed into a thrilling, but dangerous journey.”

El Matador is priced at $29.99 and wants at Windows XP with at least a 1.5 GHz Pentium 3 and 512 MB of RAM; better off with a 3GHz+ Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon, 1 GB of RAM, and a 256 MB AGP graphic card. El Matador is rated “M” for mature by the ESRB.

The fate of physical game discs seems to be set in stone, with an all-digital library becoming increasingly inevitable. Microsoft, though, may at least give Xbox owners a way to bring their shelves full of physical games along for the journey.

A leaked Microsoft roadmap sent to game publishers details the planned rollout of Xbox’s Disc-to-Digital program alongside a much larger backwards-compatibility push. The document reportedly targets August for general availability, October for the full launch of original Xbox games on PC, and a gradual Xbox 360 rollout beginning in 2027.

Gaming mice usually let you adjust sensitivity, polling rate, and button assignments through software. Pwnage’s new Vanta goes a step further by letting you physically change how each primary click feels.

The company describes the Vanta as the world’s first lightweight gaming mouse with mechanically adjustable clicks. Turning a pair of screws changes how much force and movement the left and right buttons require, without replacing the switches or adding more electronics.
