National Geographic has partnered with Namco Bandai and Sony Computer Entertainment to publish and distribute games for the Wii, DS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Network, PC, and mobile devices.
National Geographic also announced Herod’s Lost Tomb, a cross-promotional title that ties into the December 2008 issue of National Geographic magazine as well as a feature broadcast on the National Geographic Channel.
