Percy Jackson, he of Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief fame, is set for the Flips treatment. EA is turning the series of books about the lad into one interactive book for your DS just in time for the release of his first film adventure.
The books bound for a DS cart are: The Lightening Thief; The Sea of Monsters; The Titan’s Curse; The Battle of the Labyrinth; The Last Olympian; The Demigod Files and Tales of the Greek Heroes by Roger Green.
If you haven't come across young Percy before, he's a teenager whose mum is mortal and whose dad is the Greek god Poseidon. That makes him a Demigod, which has its ups and its downs.
In Flips: Percy Jackson the books are supported by additional features. EA tells us, "readers are beckoned to collect coins throughout the books. Those coins can be spent in the bestiary containing a database of photos and information of all monsters found in the novels. Currency can also be spent in the Family Tree area, where players can access detailed information about the various Gods and Demigods and their relationships with each other. Even more detail can be accessed on Greek and Roman mythology via a link to The Penguin Dictionary of Classical Mythology."
Additionally, there are character profiles to be accessed and quizzes to be taken throughout the title.
Percy is also set for a DS RPG from Activision based on the first book and film.
Previous Flips titles have focussed on Enid Blyton, Cathy Cassidy, the Artemis Fowl series and the Too Ghoul for School series.
Flips: Percy Jackson is out in February - most likely the 12th, when the film is out. You can find some screens in the gallery.
