No need to dig deep...victory can be yours for just £9.99!

For immediate release

October 2007 - Atten-shuuun! Raise the flag and hang out the bunting...Focus Multimedia has performed a truly heroic feat by bringing the ultimate World War II first person shooter (FPS) to its best-selling range of PC budget software.

Known for its attention to detail, compelling story and squad-based action, Ubisoft's Brothers in Arms Earned in Blood is a benchmark for military games. In what is quite possibly the military coup of the year, this enthrallingly realistic game has joined Focus Multimedia's Essential range of high quality £9.99 titles.

Brothers in Arms Earned in Blood adds new features and builds upon the elements that made Brothers in Arms Road to Hill 30 a runaway success. Brothers in Arms® features a new single-player narrative, new multiplayer missions, the all-new online cooperative-style Skirmish mode, and new weapons and vehicles.

The sky is the limit for the latest Brothers in Arms® game. Improved AI means you'll be challenged and tested, so make sure you and your team are up to it!

New single-player narrative takes you beyond Hill 30: It will be up to you and your squad to defeat the last enemy bastions and bring freedom to Normandy.

In the brand new cooperative multiplayer mode you take on the enemy with a friend by your side. Work together and utilize each other's squads or face certain death.

The game features an all-new Skirmish mode that allows players to take a tour of duty through a series of authentic and increasingly difficult custom combat missions.

Once again playing close attention to accuracy and detail, Gearbox Software has recreated features with the help of author, historian and Airborne Ranger Col. John Antal, using thousands of official photos, maps, After-Action Reports and eyewitness accounts, so you can be sure the action you're taking part in is as close to the real thing as possible.

Craig Johnson, managing director of Focus Multimedia, commented: "I'm delighted to be adding the second Brothers in Arms® title to our range. Road To Hill 30 has been an extremely popular game, and I'm sure fans of the franchise will be delighted that the sequel is also now available at a must-have price."

Brothers in Arms® Earned in Blood is available now for a suggested retail price of £9.99 including VAT, and can be purchased from all good retail outlets of PC software. This product, and the rest of Focus Multimedia's range, is available to purchase direct from www.focusmm.co.uk.
