Mobile Amusements release Dweebs for iPhone/iPod Touch!

In a very strange and distant future...

The Dweebs are all currently stranded on planet Earth, after a space freighter transporting this very rare and unusual cargo crashed many years ago. The Dweebs that escaped require a really helpful human to assist them on their quest to return to their home planet.

The Dweebs are not the cleverest of alien creatures but they are very cute and also very lovable, the urge to help them for most humans is overwhelming.

Unfortunately the genetically altered Black Weevil Dweebs are out to stop you and the UFO that has come to beam up the missing Dweebs and take them home, can only wait a short while on Earth - so hurry!

Oh, one other small thing... since their rather long stay on this planet, the Dweebs have somehow managed to acquire the ability to breed and create Dweeb Eggs!?... this seemingly unusual ability can help solve some of the puzzles that lay ahead and much, much more.

DWEEBALICIOUS!

Features:

  • Original platform / puzzle gameplay.
  • 24 increasingly harder levels.
  • Unlockable levels.
  • Auto-save game continue option.
  • Easy to learn gameplay and controls.
  • Colourful graphics throughout.
  • Atmospheric sounds.
  • Suitable for all ages.

Dweebs is available now on the iPhone App Store here...

Nazi Dinosaurs abound in 'Time Gentlemen, Please!'


‘Time Gentlemen, Please!’ is the hilarious follow-up to 2008’s award-winning comedy adventure game ‘Ben There, Dan That!’.

After their original outrageous misadventures, layabout geeks Dan and Ben find themselves as accidental and somewhat-neglectful Rulers of the Earth and as such, proud owners of 6 billion corpses. What’s more, ‘fixing everything up’ by craftily popping back in time has resulted in an alternate-universe Hitler with an entire army of goose-stepping Nazi dinosaur clones! Whoopsie!

Now they’re going to need your help to get out of what is, let’s be honest, a thoroughly preposterous mess.

‘Time Gentlemen, Please!’ is a classic point-and-click adventure game, dragged into the 21st century with over-indulgent use of all the different colours, a full glorious soundtrack and those trendy particle effects the kids seem to need, to enjoy themselves these days.

All this for only £2.99/ $5ish, which is pretty much the same as a pint in an overpriced London boozer. Bargain.

Being a low budget indie studio, we’re keen to garner as much attention for the game as possible, so please direct any questions or requests for review copies/ exclusive site content (interviews, etc) to dan@zombie-cow.com, and I’ll be more than happy to help. www.zombie-cow.com/tgp is the direct link to the game's page.

'Virtonomics' enters international market!

In June 2009 one of the most popular Russian Internet games rises to a new level and launches its English version. 'Virtonomics' is a massively multiplayer online business-strategy. For 2 years of its existence the project managed to join more than 400 000 users in Russia, Ukraine, Germany, Belorussia, Kazakhstan, Baltic States and other regions.

It is quite obvious now that 'Virtonomics' is no longer content with the simple status of a single-language server, and is absolutely ready to go beyond this limit. In addition to English, we are planning to enter Chinese and Arabic markets, expand audience by Spanish and Portuguese communities.

The reason of 'Virtonomics' successul development is its unique gameplay, which reconstructs in details the world of real economic and real business. The game is turn-based, which means that the user doesn't have to stay online all the time: visiting web-site once a day is enough. In this way 'Virtonomics' is more like a kind of advanced chess, than some classic online-game. 'Virtonomics' is a perfect business simulator, and with its help you can obtain a lot of specific skills in management, marketing, economic cooperation, business optimization, finance control, etc.

This is a browser-based game, so you don't have to download any files or install any software. You only need any kind of Internet connection and a web-browser to enter the exciting world of virtual business. First of all, there are no compulsory fees in 'Virtonomics', and that makes our game more attractive for the wide range of users. Besides, we are constantly expanding the borders of 'Virtonomics' world and create new countries, new goods and new production sectors.

All the possible industries of real economy are represented in the game: agriculture, mining, retail trade, scientific research and others. Each player is free to choose his own strategy: whether to build a complex holding and participate in severe market competition, or to carve an individual and original way. It doesn't matter which road will lead you to the top, the most important is not to forget about the final goal – establishment of your own profitable and successful business.

'Virtonomics' is not just a fascinating online-game, it is also a perfect training system. It might be very useful for the students of business schools and economic colleges, as well as for already graduated managers who want to know more about economic principles in practice and try themselves in various business situations.

'Virtonomics' provide unique advertising possibilities, since its audience is composed of people who are interested in economic, business and management. There are several kinds of advertising in our game: in addition to traditional product placement, context and banner ads, you can also try some special ways of brand integration. For example, your brand might be included in user competitions and auctions, or you can build a trade network on the basis of your own trade mark. 'Virtonomics' is a source of indispensable information for marketing and social studies; your unlimited ground for various advertising campaigns and advertising research.

Besides, 'Virtonomics' game community is of special value owing to business-oriented ideology of its members: it's very easy to find a reliable business partner, a high-skilled employee or a real employeer among 'Virtonomics' players. All you need is just become a part of it.
'Virtonomics' has proved its uniquness and originality by gaining thousands of fans in different countries, but we actually believe that this project is still in the very beginning of its long and bright way. We'll keep moving forward and hope that you'll join us in this virtual world of big business and big opportunities!

Max Payne 3 video game Fact Sheet

Max Payne 3 video game Fact SheetMax Payne 3 begins 12 years after the events of Max Payne 2, with Max visibly older, more violent, and more world-weary from the events of his own life. Having left the NYPD, Max has been taking odd jobs in security and consulting, and when we find him he is providing personal protection for a wealthy family in Sao Paolo, one of the world’s deadliest and most crime-ridden cities. At absolute rock-bottom, Max discovers that trouble still dogs his every step, and he finds himself drawn into the brutal heart of the Brazil’s dark underworld.

About The Game
Max Payne 3 retains many trademarks of its predecessors; a focus on story and character-driven action, a large number of sophisticated weapons with dual-wield capabilities, Bullet-Time, an addiction to painkillers, mature themes and Max’s ever-present internal monologue. Max Payne 3 also utilizes Natural Motion and Rockstar’s own RAGE engine, working with brand-new particle physics technology to deliver spectacular, highly advanced close-quarters combat, an intelligent cover system, and constantly varied gameplay in every level.

About Brazil
Brazil is the fifth-largest country in the world, by area and population, and is notoriously known to house a number of the world’s worst drug traffickers, street gangs and kidnappers. The number one cause of death among the youth is murder.

Sao Paolo’s young gangs are amongst the most violent in the world, and the most dangerous of those is said to be the Primeiro Comando da Capital. The PCC has organized prison breaks, prison riots, drug trafficking, highway robberies and kidnappings since it was formed in 1993. With one gun for every 75 people in the country and 95% of those firearms obtained illegally, Max will need every skill he has in order to survive.
