La Tale - Fight Arena Pits Players Against Each Other in Free-For-All Battles

The addition of Player vs. Player (PvP) content in La Tale, the 2D side-scrolling role-playing game.

Players can now access the Fight Arena and compete in free-for-all battles that support two, four or eight players at a time. Each player enters the Fight Arena with increased statistics and health for an intensified combat experience.

Players gain points for knocking other players out, but they must constantly be ready, as knocked-out players can re-spawn with full health to rejoin the battle. Bonus boxes filled with power-ups add an exciting twist to PvP combat. After the battle, contenders receive points that can be spent on special items.

"Now that we've implemented the Fight Arena, La Tale players can really find out whose skills are the strongest," said Ross Park, La Tale producer. "Our arenas are designed to give players a pure PvP combat experience that rewards the top player with top honors and bragging rights."

Crazy Circus - Charmingly whacky circus video game coming to Nintendo DS

Crazy Circus brings a colourful and charmingly whacky circus to Nintendo DS. Hamburg/Germany based publisher dtp entertainment will publish the arcade game worldwide in Q2 2009.

In 14 action-driven mini games, the player performs extraordinary circus acts. Oleg, the motorbike-riding bear, jumps over dozens of cars, a parrot swings on the trapeze, and clowns throw cakes at each other across the circus ring.

The player inherits the family’s once famous circus because his father is sick and no longer able to run the business. Now it is up to the young director to lead the troupe and restore the circus to its former glory. He keeps improving the show and quickly, the circus regains its excellent reputation. New performers push into the ring, the public clapping frantically to ever new sensations. The stunning performances attract the crowds in a way that finally, the circus arrives in the world’s most glamorous cities.

Crazy Circus targets the whole family and all those longing for quick and fun gameplay. The party mode allows four players to perform the hilarious stunts together on one Nintendo DS via hotseat.

The arcade mode of Crazy Circus is all about chasing highscores. Users can select the minigames separately for quick play.

Crazy Circus‘ cartoony artstyle brings the grand days of circus at the beginning of the 20th century back to life. The game can be controlled entirely using the Nintendo DS stylus.

Crazy Circus is developed by Farmind Ltd. The studio is headquartered in Oulu/Finland and specializes in creating games for handheld consoles.

Big Bang Mini - Paris - Another explosive World to discover

Paris Release

Another explosive World to discover in Big Bang Mini!

PARIS: Nighttime over Parisian rooftops is where the Paris World places you. Slow down time for a few seconds to get a better shot at the enemies by slashing downward on the touch screen with the stylus. 

Look out for enemies who use shots that will chase you down. Missed shots will not create falling sparks while time is slowed down, so fire away. 

Hidden enemies will appear as dark shadows that can only be shot when time is stopped. World Upgrade: Time Stop: Pulling straight down in a straight line activates the Time Stop. 

You will encounter quite a bit of enemy fire, so it comes in useful in each level. Keep an eye on the charge meter, though.
