Aspyr Media to publish Mindware Studios’ horror-themed first-person shooter later this year.

Outside of soldiers, athletes, and city planners, few professions are readily adapted to games. Czech developer Mindware Studios and Texas-based publisher Aspyr Media are taking a stab at adding psychologist to the list later this year with the release of Dreamkiller on the Xbox 360 and PC.

Better living through high-caliber psychology.

A first-person shooter, Dreamkiller puts players in the role of Alice Drake, a supernatural psychologist with the unique ability to enter her patients’ minds and fight their inner demons in the most literal sense. Drake will traverse the game’s 12 levels not with textbooks and theory, but with an arsenal of special abilities and dual-purpose weapons, such as a minigun that also lobs grenades at enemies.

This is not the first time Mindware has meddled with the first-person shooter genre. The studio previously developed 2005’s stealth-based Cold War, as well as 2007’s Painkiller: Overdose.

Dreamkiller is set for an October debut. For more on the game, check out GameSpot’s hands-on impressions.

2K Sports’ annual basketball sim celebrates 10-year milestone with 360, PS3 Anniversary Edition, available this fall for $99.99.

NBA 2K10 may be coming out in 2009, but that doesn’t mean the big one-zero on the end of the title is without significance. This year, 2K Sports’ annual basketball sim celebrates its 10th anniversary. To honor the occasion, 2K Sports today announced the NBA 2K10: Anniversary Edition, a special retail package for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game.

A look at the Anniversary Edition.

In addition to a copy of the game, the Anniversary Edition includes a combination lock-equipped 2K Sports locker, a McFarlane Toys-produced figurine of NBA 2K10 cover athlete Kobe Bryant, a Kobe Bryant poster designed by Shephard Fairey’s Studio No. 1, and access to an in-game VIP online lobby.

As detailed in GameSpot’s interview with 2K’s vice president of sports development Jeff Thomas, the collector’s edition will also include a retrospective commemorative DVD that tracks the evolution of the series. Thomas also notes that the in-game VIP lobby, known as the Gold Room, is still a work in progress, but will allow Anniversary Edition purchasers a more exclusive in-game experience, including “a certain amount of VIP events.”

The NBA 2K10: Anniversary Edition for the Xbox 360 and PS3 will retail for $99.99. NBA 2K10 will also ship in standard editions for the Xbox 360, PS3, PlayStation 2, PSP, Wii, and PC on October 6.
