Michael Crabtree, formerly of Texas Tech University, graces the NCAA Football 10 Xbox 360 cover.

The PLAYSTATION 3 cover features University of Utah’s former quarterback, Brian Johnson.

Zu Online - Come Create Your Guild Columns

In Zu Online we have a very diverse community that gather from many different places on the planet to play. This is one of the things that make Zu so unique and such a joy to play, however this also means that many guild mates are unable to meet and communicate with one another due to time differences. But here at IGG we are trying to change that. We’re pleased to offer players an opportunity to create a guild column for their guild members to communicate.

To create a guild column, players must submit an application. To submit an application, players need to create a thread in the Guilds Base in the forum. The application must be submitted by one of the guild members. We suggest the Guild Lord submit it.

The other guild members must reply to the thread and also apply to create a guild column. Half of the guild members are required to apply by replying to the thread.

We will check out the guild data, including the total number of guild members and then decide to reject or approve the application.

If the application is approved, the player that applied will become the moderator of their guild column. The moderator will have the right to accept and/or decline other guild member’s applications to join the column, but the moderator also has the obligation to manage the forum ethically. The moderator is also able to transfer their jurisdiction and obligations to others by contacting our forum administrator, Eva1210.

Note: If there are no new posts for 14 continuous days, the guild column will be closed.

Velvet Assassin video game for the Xbox 360 out next week

SouthPeak Games announced today that Velvet Assassin for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC has gone gold and will be shipping next week.

“World War II is such a common theme amongst games in the last ten years, but it’s truly rare to find a title that brings gamers into the visceral reality of what happened,” said Richard Iggo, Vice President of Marketing at SouthPeak Games. “Velvet Assassin excels in its ability to make players feel something more than just gameplay.”



Velvet Assassin brings players into the world of Violette Summer, a British secret agent behind enemy lines in multiple hot-spots during World War II. Players are introduced to a bed-ridden Violette as she slips in and out of fevered dreams, reliving her most poignant missions through her memories. With no outside support, Violette must sneak her way into heavily guarded Nazi strongholds, assassinate high-level targets and even deliver cyanide to fellow operatives caught in the field. Using true-to-life weapons and tactics, Violette is one of the few people standing between the Nazi war machine and total domination. Velvet Assassin asks players to focus on the reality behind these clandestine acts, with no technological marvels, no special weapons, just your wits and the equipment on hand.

Velvet Assassin will be shipping to retailers on April 30th, 2009.

Seek 'n Spell Finds its Way Onto iPhone 3G

Celebrate Earth Day by Enjoying the Great Outdoors with the GPS-Based Game, Get a Taste for the Fun with the Live-Action Trailer

The Retronyms announced today the release of their new app Seek ‘n Spell for the iPhone 3G. Seek ‘n Spell transforms iPhone gaming from a solo, sedentary experience to an active and social outdoor contest.

Combining real outdoor spaces with virtual letters, Seek ‘n Spell is a word game where you and your friends compete to gather letter tiles and create words to score the most points. Want to see it in action? The Seek ‘n Spell trailer is available for download below.

With Seek ‘n Spell, players gather in a park or other large outdoor space with a clear view of the sky and activate the app. Seek ‘n Spell detects all the players present and scatters letter tiles across the playing field. Players then race one another around the field to capture up to 10 letter tiles at a time, which they use to create words. Coveted gold tiles will appear randomly on the field, earning players a doubled score when used in words. Points are earned based on the length of the words players spell, and the player with the most points when time runs out wins.

“The GPS capabilities of the iPhone 3G offer new gaming opportunities, and we’re taking full advantage of them with Seek ‘n Spell,” said Dan Walton, co-founder of Retronyms. “We are using the GPS as an innovative game controller, where your actual location on Earth drives the gameplay. We’re releasing Seek ‘n Spell on Earth Day to celebrate our planet and encourage iPhone users to get outside and play.”
