Activision has announced an all-new FPS named Secret Service for PlayStation 2, Xbox 360 and PC.

Due for release in North America by the end of the year, Secret Service has players attempting to neutralize a group of extremists on inauguration day in Washington DC.

According to Activision’s Dave Oxford, “This game is a unique addition to the first person action genre, with a rich storyline set across famous locations and the need to use both lethal and non-lethal force to achieve your objectives.”

The PS2 version will retail for $29.99 USD, while the Xbox 360 and PC counterparts will set you back $39.99 USD and $19.99 USD respectively.

No word yet on a European release, but we’ll let you know once we hear of any updates.

     lmao WTH why are games still being released for PS2? Move on. The sixth gen is long over (although, judging by success of the Wii, people apparently love outdated last gen crap)

    clemx2: It's cheaper to develop for the PS2 plus it has a gigantic userbase. The PS3 has the smallest userbase by far and is the most expensive to develop for. Financially, it makes more sense to develop for the PS2. Xbox 360 makes the most sense because it's next-gen, cheaper than PS3 and has a bigger userbase as well.

    Making an exclusive for PS3 is a financial death sentence unless it's a mega title like Metal Gear Solid.

    @4 - you can partially thank m$ for the RPG drought. And wasn't this initially planned as a PS3 title? I remember seeing it under a PS3 TBA list somewhere.

    But most PStwoers are pathetic it's obvious that most would go the inferior experience with horrible games and a fat goob called Aaron Greenberg (offical M$ c'"ksuckor) he already ruined DMC,Final Fantasy and Tekken.
