This sprawling dungeon contains new boss monsters of unparalleled difficulty, including the Medusa, Primeval Lich and the Stygian Dragon, as well as Player vs. Player zones where adventurers are turned against one another.

Additionally, consumers who purchase Ultima Online: Stygian Abyss from September 8th – 29th will receive a multi-use Alteration Token to transform current characters into Gargoyles, an exclusive gargoyle craftable pet, and decorative Stygian Abyss mob boss statues.*

Last month Mythic announced that Ultima Online™: Mondain’s Legacy, the 7th expansion of UO which introduced the playable Elven race and several expansive dungeons, is now available at no charge to existing subscribers, and to new players as part of the Ultima Online 14-day free trial.

PC Digger Simulator video game puts you in control of the latest earth moving equipment - full spec and video

Filling a massive hole (rather than a gap in the market place), Excalibur Publishing is pleased to announce the release of Digger Simulator for PC-CD. Scheduled for release on 18th September 2009 in the UK, Digger Simulator leaves the simulation enthusiast with nothing to be desired.



From a small steam shovel to a huge bucket wheel with a length of 240 metres, you take control of everything. Starting with excavating the footings, with the help of the extensive control unit you have to control the digger’s chassis, paddle and arm. As well as the bucket wheel and steam shovel, you will also need to take control of bulldozers, crawler-type loaders and dumper trucks to execute all the tasks involved in working at a busy gravel pit.

Digger Simulator’s detailed graphics and beautifully designed vehicles serve to make this product as realistic a building site simulation as possible, due in no small part to the realistic controls. It even features multiple camera angles so you can check your rear-end swing!

Close your eyes and you’ll practically smell the bacon sandwiches at 11:00am. The only thing that could make Digger Simulator more realistic would be a white van, a flask, a copy of the Sun on the dashboard and a very politically incorrect wolf whistle at the foreman’s daughter!

Digger Simulator offers endless hours of realistic building site simulation fun. Hobnail boots not necessary!

System Requirements
• CPU Pentium III 1.2 GHz
• 512 MB RAM
• Graphics Card GeForce4, Radeon9200 (Shader 1.0)
• Graphic memory 128MB
• DirectX 9.0c
• Windows ME/2000/XP/Vista
• Optional Game Controller

Buccaneer video game update link adds new co-op feature and five mini campaigns play free flash mini game here...

Buccaneer: The Pursuit of Infamy, the critically acclaimed indie arcade game created by Stickman Studios in conjunction with Blitz Arcade through Blitz Games Studios’ Blitz 1>UP programme, is full of more rumbustious fun than ever, with a whole host of new swashbuckling features now available.

Buccaneer now features an all new Co-op Mode with five separate mini campaigns containing a total of 20 new levels. Battle your buddies against the endless waves of Crown ships – with the score stacked heavily in the Crown's favour and time ticking away, co-operation is key to win through and add your name to the Hall of Infamy.

“Buccaneer has already shown just what is possible in the indie game market. Stickman have managed to create high quality visuals with no compromise being made on the gameplay,” says Chris Swan, Blitz Arcade's Business Development Director. “The multiplayer features have already been a huge hit, so with the new co-op options there are even more ways to don your pirate hats and get down to some swashbuckling action.”

Buccaneer’s arcade-style fun invites you to take to the high seas, blast enemy ships out of the water, plunder gold and strike fear into the hearts of your piratical opponents. With great looking visuals and easy to use controls, Buccaneer offers the opportunity to become king of the high seas and test your single-player strategy or teamplay prowess.

To celebrate the release of the new patch Stickman Studios and Blitz 1UP have also released a new flash minigame all about helping out your fellow pirates. Cure the filthy pirate scum of ‘The Scurvy!’ by picking the correct item. Choose the wrong item and scurvy will be the least of their worries.



Batten down the hatches and prepare yourself for more swashbuckling fun in the fight to become the world’s greatest captain.

Buzz! Junior: Monster Rumble Five fiendishly fun mini-games available on PlayStation Store now

Get your fingers on the buzzers and prepare to cause chaos in Monster Rumble, the third addition to the riotously fun Buzz! Junior collection, now available on PlayStation 3. Launching on PlayStation Store at £3.99 parents and their little terrors can run riot in the weird and wonderful Monster Mansion to find out which of the colourful and crazy creatures is number one through a series of 5 fiendish mini-games for up to four players.

Developed by Dundee-based Cohort Studios, this re-release of the well-received PlayStation 2 original can be enjoyed by everyone, even those without official Buzz!™ controllers thanks to intuitive DualShock support. With beautifully rendered cartoon visuals and a great sense of humour, younger players will enjoy the fun aesthetics and hilarious mini-games on offer, while a range of difficulty settings make this challenging for parents.

Buzz! Junior: Monster Rumble has been created using the developer’s internal Praetorian technology, which is also being used on other internal projects. Bruce McNeish, CTO at Cohort Studios explains: "Having our own internal framework and technology provides us with many benefits. We can both turn around projects quickly as well as develop proposal demos with minimum fuss. Having complete control over our internal framework also gives us great flexibility when we are looking at middleware solutions which allow us to concentrate on creating fun content."

CEO at Cohort Studios Lol Scragg said: “We are pleased with the ongoing success of the Buzz!™ Junior series and are grateful that Sony continue to create games for an often overlooked younger audience. We feel that many kid’s games are falling into that ‘casual’ and therefore overly-simplistic pigeon hole. But while Monster Mayhem is aimed at the three-plus market, it can still provide children with a decent challenge and hours of fun in equal measure, something many kids games fail to deliver. With kids skilfully picking up games at an increasingly early age, we have to warn parents that they might be outclassed by their young ones on this one. You have been warned.”

Buzz! Junior: Monster Rumble Key Features and information
- Multiplayer madness for up to four players
- Buzz! Buzzer or DualShock controller support
- Unlockable trophies
- Fully customisable characters
- PEGI 3+ Rating

Mini-game despatches players onto the Course of Terror!

The curtain goes up on the ‘Course of Terror’! The clown Malatina offers a new solo challenge for plucky adventurers in the Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game, Runes of Magic. Once per day, she will give players the opportunity to enter a challenging, obstacle-packed dungeon. The mini-game will be added to the game in the final content update along with the full launch of ‘Chapter II – The Elven Prophecy’, on 15 September.

The dungeon consists of a chamber containing 45 fields, each with a seal that hides a range of different obstacles to challenge the adventurer. Each of these demands a special tactic: For example, ice barricades can only be overcome by using a heavy artillery piece. Players have to use the right tools for the job during the game‘s ten minutes. Clown ghosts constantly appear, making matters even worse for our heroes. Once adventurers discover the field containing the key, they’ll receive rewards as well as an entry into the next round. Special titles can also be unlocked using ‘ghost cards’, to reward players for completing the challenge.

There is also additional work in progress on other solo challenges which will be added to Runes of Magic. “We like to always look for ways to keep our players entertained and offer them plenty of variety,” commented PR Manager Philipp Senkbeil. “MMO players don’t always want to be in groups and mini-games are a perfect change from the routine of raids.”

There’s a new in-game video showing the ‘Course of Terror’ in action at: www.runesofmagic.com/en/videos.html
