	LOS ANGELES &ndash;November 4th, 2009 &ndash; Casual game developer and publisher, Legacy Interactive announced today that Bird Brain&trade;, for Apple&rsquo;s iPhone and iPod touch, is now available. Bird Brain tests players&rsquo; trivia knowledge as well as their quick wit in this clever game specifically developed for Apple touch screen devices.
&ldquo;The iPhone is a great platform for casual games and we&rsquo;re so excited to be launching the first of three games this year,&quot; said Ariella Lehrer, CEO of Legacy Interactive. &ldquo;Players will find that Bird Brain is a unique and challenging game that becomes addictive before you know it.&rdquo;
Bird Brain gives players the chance to be &ldquo;King of the Coop.&rdquo; The challenge is to establish, in 20 seconds or less, the &ldquo;pecking order&rdquo; of various trivia questions ranging from Science to Literature to Pop Culture. With topics as diverse as the locations of U.S. landmarks, sizes of dog breeds, ages of the Kardashian sisters, and hundreds more, everyone has a chance to succeed.

After each game, players get a chance to see how their gray matter measures up. Just don\'t tell anyone if it turns out that you\'re a &ldquo;bird brain!&rdquo;
Bird Brain is available for $.99 on iPhone and iPod touch from Apple&rsquo;s App Store or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.

	All New Content to Feature Free-For-All Mode, A New Map
And New Weapons-Starting Today at 5 PM PST
Redwood City, Calif.-November 02, 2009- Uforia, an online game
publisher specializing in massively multiplayer online games, today
announced that its online modern welfare FPS, Mercenary Wars kicks off
its second Closed Beta test today at 5 PM Pacific Standard time and
running through November 5th at 5 PM PST. Now through November 5th,
players may obtain a beta key from www.mmosite.com or www.onrpg.com,
or by signing up for an Uforia account at
http://mercenarywars.uforia.com.
This new beta test will feature all new content including a new
free-for-all mode which does away with teams and places players on a
map to have an all out war with each other. The player with the most
kills when time ends is the winner! A new map is also featured that
is ideal for a multitude of different play styles introducing lots of
places to hide and great sniping locations. Three new guns round out
the new content; G36K, SPAS12 and a Mac10.
&quot;The addition of a new Free-for-all mode and the additional maps and
weapons available in this new beta test are a great sneak peek at the
final game players will see later this fall,&quot; said JK Kim, CEO of
Uforia. &quot;As we continue the development process, the gameplay
experience is getting more and more intense and we look forward to
seeing our growing community challenged as they give it a try.&quot;
The Mercenary Wars team has even more planned for the four day Closed
Beta including the &quot;Death(adder) to your Enemies&quot; contest. In this
contest, each kill a player records is counted as a raffle ticket.
Only kills made against actual players will be counted and not the
in-game AI/Bots. At the end of the event, the raffle tickets will be
tallied and three winners will be chosen at random to receive a Razer
DeathAdder Mouse.
Unlike other first person shooter games available today, Mercenary Wars
features a unique stat system that players can use to upgrade and
customize their lifelike characters. The combat in the game is
designed to feel very realistic, while also allowing players to adjust
their speed, accuracy, and health stats. Mercenary Wars is set in the
not so distant future in a world where order and society as we know
them are a thing of the past. The economies of the world have crashed
and have been replaced with total chaos. New alliances have been
forged and the world is now controlled by well-trained groups of
mercenaries. Players must determine who to swear their allegiance to
and fight side-by-side to the death, if necessary, in the quest to
ensure becoming the new global powerhouse.
Mercenary Wars will also feature an innovative Artificial Intelligence
system where computer controlled &quot;bots&quot; can be used in several ways
ranging from practice to enhancing game play. Via four difficulty
modes, players can select their desired skill level no matter what
their previous FPS experience might be. Other features include
multiple gameplay modes, a variety of character types and races,
extensive ranking system including more than 50 different character
ranks and title, an expansive number of weapons and equipment
available for character customization and a built-in player-to-player
audio communication tool for enhanced real-world combat simulation.

	<description>
	<![CDATA[
	Surprise Spot, Card Identification Enlightenment And Guardians Just
Some of The Exciting New Features Coming To The Popular Fantasy MMORPG
This Month
Irvine, Calif., November 2, 2009 - Ntreev USA, a leading online game
developer and publisher, announced today it will launch a major
content update for its popular fantasy MMORPG, Trickster Online: A New
Discovery on November 4th. The new features will include a new
Surprise Spot, Card Identification, Guardians and Enlightenment!
Players can visit http://trickster.ntreev.net/ to download and play
the game.
&quot;We communicate a great deal with our Trickster community and these new
features are some of the things they have told us they would like to
see,&quot; said Chris Lee CEO of Ntreev USA. &quot;With this new update,
players will get all kinds of new opportunities to unlock mysteries,
increase skills.&quot;
Surprise Spot
The new surprise spot system is a fun and useful daily quest that will
give players access to special vendors and NPCs as well as drilling
bonuses. Every day players will have an opportunity to find map
pieces that can be combined and used to find buried treasure. The spot
where the buried treasure is hidden will either give players large
amounts of items when excavated, or teleport the Trickster to a hidden
map.
Card Identification
Cards are an integral part of the Trickster Lore and game system. The
new Card Identification system will add another use for Cards that
pushes them beyond fun flavor and into a game defining tool. The new
Card Identification system lets Tricksters use cards to create new
items from their cards by playing a matching game. More importantly,
it gives Tricksters access to the Secret Cards of Caballa Island. When
Tricksters find all 16 secret cards they will be granted access to the
new and exciting Enlightenment.
Enlightenment
The path to becoming a true Trickster has been long and, thus far,
unending. Now players will be given a chance to become a true
Trickster and unlock the Guardian that will protect them. Once
Tricksters find all 16 cards they will be granted access to a special
series of quests that will plant the Soul Seed within them. The Soul
Seed will carefully watch the actions of the Trickster and form a
guardian inside it. When the Soul Seed is ready it will unlock the
Trickster Guardian.
Guardians
There are four guardians: Magic, Charm, Sense and Power. The nature of
the Trickster will determine the guardian a Trickster receives. When
the guardian is active, it will follow the Trickster and protect the
Trickster with its life. Guardians are essentially combat pets that
will attack and help the Trickster.

	</title>
	<link>http://www.rpgrank.com/role-playing-games-3792-news.html</link>
	<description>
	<![CDATA[
	VOLOGDA, Russia - November 2, 2009 &ndash; Playrix&reg; Entertainment, a top-tier casual games developer and publisher, is celebrating its 5th Anniversary by offering consumers a 50% discount on any Playrix game purchased through the company&rsquo;s official website (www.playrix.com). Within the last few months, the company has launched four new games &ndash; Gardenscapes&trade;, Fishdom: Spooky Splash&trade;, Fishdom: Harvest Splash&trade; and Playrix&rsquo;s first published title Elementals: The Magic Key&trade; &ndash; which have expanded the company&rsquo;s successful lineup of high quality games. 

Playrix was founded in 2004 by brothers Igor and Dmitri Bukhman who turned their hobby of making simple shareware games into a passion and eventually a career. Over the past five years, Playrix has grown into a company with an extensive network of distribution channels, an experienced in-house development team and a number of talented external studio partners. Today, the company boasts a headcount of over eighty inspired professionals dedicated to creating captivating family-friendly games.

This initiative has been one of the company&rsquo;s priorities since then and it is actively working in this direction.

	</title>
	<link>http://www.rpgrank.com/role-playing-games-3791-news.html</link>
	<description>
	<![CDATA[
	UPPSALA, SWEDEN - October 30, 2009 - Hansoft, the leading vendor of tools for project management and QA for large software development teams, has experienced a kick start in the academic world with the launch of Hansoft&rsquo;s educational license. 

Several universities and game development schools have signed up for educational licenses and Hansoft is now being used in a number of student projects around the world. One of them is the Scottish Centre for Excellence in Computer Games Education, at University of Abertay Dundee. 

&ldquo;We expect our students to work on computer games development projects in a professional studio environment, and in a professional manner. Hansoft enables the students to work together across courses and disciplines with improved communications, project management and reporting practices. With Hansoft&rsquo;s educational license, we get the opportunity to use a professional tool at undergraduate level, something that makes our students better equipped to create high quality media and develop professional practices that will get them that dream job after graduation&rdquo;, said Gregor White, Director of Academic Enterprise, University of Abertay Dundee.

The idea behind the educational license is to fill the need for universities to be in tune with the latest tools in the industry, for studios to be able to recruit graduates already proficient in using Hansoft and for students to increase their chances on the highly competitive job market. 

&ldquo;This initiative actually came directly from the industry. Several of our clients independently approached us about the idea of an educational license to make student more ready for the everyday work at their studios. The response from lecturers and students has been overwhelming and we are really glad to be able to support the talent of the future with Hansoft&rdquo;, said Hansoft CEO Patric Palm.

Another example is Image Campus in Argentina.

&ldquo;At Image Campus, we have identified that one of the major problems within many Digital Media Development Studios, and particularly Games Development Studios, is the lack of use of good project management methodologies and tools. In the process we tried many project management tools, from off-the-shelf products to open source solutions, until we found and chose to use Hansoft. One of the greatest advantages of Hansoft is the ability to integrate agile development methodologies with collaborative scheduling in one view. This speeds up production cycles and puts data in the hands of Project Managers with real time reporting. Also, by having an integrated tool deployed across the studio, artists, developers and project managers all know exactly where they are in the production cycle and what is left to tackle in each hierarchical level. We consider project management skills key factors of success and we truly believe that teaching them is an obligation for serious schools who care about the quality of their graduates and about their future in a competitive industry. Hansofts educational license allows us to do so and we expect that Hansoft will keep addressing studios needs and to provide top quality software in the future&rdquo;, says An&iacute;bal Menezes, Institutional Relations Manager, Image Campus.

	<description>
	<![CDATA[
	Sieghart, Renowned Hero Of Bermesiah, Is Now Available at
http://grandchase.ntreev.net
Irvine, Calif., October 28, 2009 - Ntreev USA, a leading online game
developer and publisher, announced today an all-new character,
Sieghart, will be available in its online action-adventure MMO
brawler, Grand Chase. This brand new character will be available
starting today, October 28th.
&quot;Sieghart is a fabulous new addition to Grand Chase,&quot; said Chris Lee,
CEO at Ntreev USA. &quot;Sieghart is a skilled and accomplished character
that our players are sure to enjoy. That combined with the multiple
Halloween events going on make October a big month for Grand Chase and
its community.&quot;
About Sieghart
Sieghart was a renowned hero of Bermesiah 600 years ago, but
disappeared in the midst of ruins. Reappearing in the times of Grand
Chase, he tells the people that the Highlander gods saved him from
death and gave him the gift of immortality. He joins the Grand Chase
to stop the Ascendant God from a planned invasion to Bermesiah.
Sieghart bears the name of Elesis\' grandfather and has a chargeable
gauge to strengthen attacks (similar, though not identical to Jin\'s
gauge) that fills over time, faster when damaged or dealing damage.
He wields a long blade that, in contrast to Elesis\' weapon, he holds
in reverse. Like Jin, he is adept in several styles of combat.
In addition to the new character and dungeon, players can enjoy ongoing
Halloween events in Grand Chase. Ntreev is hosting multiple Halloween
events including the &quot;Jack-o-lantern Drop&quot; Event where users get
special items to use in their quests. This event is going on now and
will run through November 3rd. Additionally, the &quot;Smashing Pumpkins&quot;
PvP mode - also running now through November 3rd allows players to
earn a Halloween Pumpkin Box when victorious in PVP mode. The
Halloween Pumpkin Box contains Halloween series weapons for all
characters and jobs so players will surely want to be the one to win
this coveted prize!

	<description>
	<![CDATA[
	Tampere, FINLAND &ndash; October 26, 2009 &ndash; 10tons Ltd. announced today that a huge update for Boom Brigade is now available for iPhone&trade; and iPod touch&reg;. The update practically more than doubles the content of the game which is said to be a &quot;top down tower defense line drawing shooter&quot;.

&quot;We\'ve implemented some of the features we had planned and also some which were requested by the community. For example, there are more options in the &quot;BunkerMart&quot; for the player to spend his money on. We also have a new world, new monsters, and even some background info,&quot; said Timo Palonen, one of the game designers. &quot;So, you\'ll get a huge experience for the price of a cafe latte!&rdquo;

The update features a new class: the pyro. The pyro uses a flamethrower to stream fire upon the alien horde. The class comes with five different upgrade levels. Also, the simple trooper update system was replaced with a nifty &quot;BunkerMart&quot; that has a broad selection of supplies, including health packages, repair bots, reinforcements, powerups, and more. The troopers will also travel to a new world where they can observe the unique behavior of never before seen aliens.

The game is developed and published by 10tons Ltd. It is their latest unique title just for iPhone and iPod touch. Their other iPhone games such as Azkend and Dragon Portals have been getting outstanding reviews since their release and are still growing in audience. Additional unique titles for just iPhone and iPod touch are in the horizon alongside mobile adaptations of 10tons successful casual games.

The game will be on a 48 hour limited time sale starting on Monday 26th October. The sale price is $0.99 or 0.79&euro;. The update is free for those who have already purchased the previous version of the game.
