Players take on the role of an apprentice scientist who conducts experiments to create monsters from the games more than 150 monster parts. Gauntlet DS is a Backbone Entertainment developed remake of the original arcade coin-op. The game will include overhauled graphics, new attacks and powers and a new experience-based combat system. The game also supports local and Wi-Fi multiplay for up to four players. You can play cooperatively in through the game or against one another in three competitive modes. Chimps Ahoy! is a puzzle iPhone title currently out on the App Store. I'm not sure about Monster Lab, but the remake of Gauntlet sounds like it has quite a lot of potential, especially since it has Wi-Fi coop play.Foundation 9 Showcases Monster Lab, Gauntlet(TM) and Chimps Ahoy! at Penny Arcade Expo Games developed by Backbone Entertainment and Griptonite Games IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 21 /PRNewswire/ — Foundation 9 Entertainment today announced that it will showcase Monster Lab for the Wii(TM), Gauntlet(TM) for Nintendo DS(TM) and Chimps Ahoy! for the iPhone(R) at the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX), taking place Aug. 29-31 at the Washington State Convention & Trade Center in Seattle, Wash.

Backbone Entertainment's forthcoming original title, Monster Lab, is a story-based RPG/action hybrid set in the eerie, supernatural world of Uncanny Valley, where the evil Baron Mharti rules the region with a cruel hand.

Bringing these creations to life, gamers can explore the land as they search for ingredients to make more monster parts, hunt down other monsters to defeat in combat and uncover fun quests and challenges as they attempt to vanquish the evil baron and liberate the villagers of Uncanny Valley.
