2008-07-02 23:49:23 - The Art Institute of California - San Diego, in collaboration with High Moon Studios, proudly presents a gallery exhibition from one of the most highly anticipated games of 2008 - Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy™.

JUNE 24, 2008 - SAN DIEGO, CA - Meet the artists, play the game, and enjoy refreshments at the closing gallery reception on Thursday, July 31, from 5-7pm.

Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy™ is a third-person action game blending hunter-prey game play through a seamless mix of hand-to-hand fighting, gunplay and dramatic escapes, all designed around Jason Bourne's signature combat style.

Developed

by High Moon in collaboration with Ludlum Entertainment, and with story and character development in conjunction with Bourne screenwriter Tony Gilroy, the game is a companion to the blockbuster films and best-selling novels. Players experience a new storyline in The Bourne Conspiracy, becoming Bourne as both trained assassin and marked government agent trying to uncover the conspiracy shrouding his origins. Core to the game play is Bourne's definition as a perfect weapon with heightened combat instinct, where players use his characteristic capabilities to recognize threats, perform devastating takedown moves and use the environment to overcome deadly situations.

Benefiting from the media hype, are eight Art Institute alumni who took part in the game's evolution. Thrilled to be working on new projects currently in development at High Moon Studios' Carlsbad location are: Charles Bradbury, Tyler Wanlass, Don Ott, Jason Copeland, Carlos Dominguez, Michael Castro, Alan O'Brien, and Chad Campbell.
