Title: Corus TV and LEGO Launch New BIONICLE Games Post by: lindavz on August 26, 2009, 12:16:19 pm Corus TV and LEGO Launch New BIONICLE Games
Wednesday, August 26, 2009 By: Ramin Zahed Beginning this Monday (Aug. 31), Corus TV and LEGO Canada are launching a new BIONICLE videogame campaign on YTV.com. Under the Glatorian Legends banner, this six-weeks-long program will allow kids to play two new video games—Prepare for Battle and Arena Magna. Prepare for Battle uses new augmented-reality technology, which allows the gamer to combine real-world and computer generated content by using a web cam with Flash animation. A printed marker is also needed to activate the program and recognize the user. Arena Magna solely relies on CG-animated technology. The games will be introduced on YTV’s Saturday morning cartoon block Crunch by program host Andy this Saturday at 9 a.m. (ET). Kids will be encouraged to download their printed marker via YTV.com or www.ToysRus.ca/LEGO, free of charge.

While the idea sounds kinda cool, I'm not sure about the WebCam part...

Except for the one problem that I may not be up at 9. =P Will it be on the website? If so, possibly people will require an account or something...

Hey, maybe someone in Canada can record it to YouTube for the rest of us?
