Codeminion released a cinematic video trailer for their major casual title - Ancient Quest of Saqqarah.

Ancient Quest of Saqqarah is a game that tries to surpass the crowded casual market with its quality, atmosphere and scope. The video trailer that the developers have shown on the game's website - www.saqqarahthegame.com - seems to prove that with its intense action, cinematic feel and the voice of Michael McConnohie - actor known from such games as Diablo 2, World of Warcraft or the Ancient Quest of Saqqarah itself.

"With Saqqarah we wanted to reach broader audience than your stereotypical casual soccer moms. We wanted to show more hardcore players that a good casual game can be as exciting, varied and lengthy as retail titles are" explains Konrad Olesiewicz - game producer and Codeminion co-owner.

Saqqarah is a large and varied puzzle game with seven different types of game play and over 500 levels. With its depth, outstanding audiovisual quality and fun it gives to the players, it was very well received by both: gamers and casual gaming press.

A free trial version of the game is available from Codeminion's game portal - www.gameclubcafe.com.

1942: Joint Strike now available on PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade

The next chapter in the 194X series blasts its way onto your
next-generation console.

1942: Joint Strike is now available for download on PLAYSTATION Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade. 1942: Joint Strike is rated Teen by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) and is available for 800 Microsoft Points or $9.99 on PLAYSTATION Network.

1942: Joint Strike takes inspiration and influence from the ‘80s 194X series of World War II-themed vertical arcade shooters. The art, sound and gameplay of the new game take cues from the original 194X games, but will stand out as its own unique entry. Gameplay will resemble the classic top down, vertical action that gamers expect, but enhanced with High Definition 3D graphics. Set in a World War II-themed locale, stages, vehicles and weapons have the look and feel of WWII with some stylistic differences.

The world in which 1942 takes place is not our own and the events that transpire are not historically accurate, nor are they intended to be.

This is an alternate world where history and technology developed along their own paths. As a result, players will jump into the cockpits of WWII-era aircraft to take on huge waves of incoming enemy fire, dodging explosions and missiles while challenging huge bosses at the end of each stage. New co-op “Joint Strike attacks” combine the powers of two aircrafts into one devastating barrage.

The new 1942: Joint Strike features 2-player online cooperative play. Graphics and music have been similarly updated by Backbone Entertainment, the developers of this latest entry into the 194X series. There’s also a brand new score for the game created by Norihiko Hibino, an international composer well-known for his work creating music for the Metal Gear series.

SAT prep video game - FutureU announced by Aspyr

Called futureU, Game Will Offer Three Areas Of Dynamic Interactive Study Based On Proven Kaplan SAT Test Preparation Methods

Aspyr Media, in collaboration with Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions, today announced the name and all-new details for its SAT prep game. Called futureU, the company has revealed that the game will be divided into three main categories - Math, Reading and Writing. Designed to be an engaging and visually dynamic complement to traditional SAT programs, futureU teaches core concepts, measures player progress, and provides an accessible, interactive experience unlike any other learning program of its kind. The game is rooted in Kaplan's proven curriculum and includes original methods and specialized strategies.

These details come on the heels of Aspyr and Kaplan's announcement in March that the companies have entered into a multi-year agreement in which Aspyr will bring Kaplan-branded interactive entertainment products to market. Scheduled to hit retail outlets this fall, futureU is the first title to be released under the agreement. The game is currently in development at Aspyr Studios and will be published by Aspyr Media for Nintendo DS, PC and Mac.

Aspyr has released the following details on each of the categories:

Reading: Focuses on honing players' reading skills with vocabulary building, main idea identification, attitude and tone, themes and arguments, technique, and recognizing word meaning based on context.
Writing: Seeks to improve players' writing skills by covering topics such as passive voice, run-on sentences, misplaced modifiers, parallelism, wordiness, conjunctions, fragments, coordination and subordination, pronouns, subject-verb agreement, tenses, adverbs and adjectives, gerunds, idioms, wrong words, and double negatives.
Math: Enables players to delve into critical areas such as algebra, geometry, data, statistics, probability, polynomials, and sequences.
Additionally, players can engage in a section called "Test Skills" that teaches test-taking skills such as how to spot wrong answers in a multiple choice sequence, know when to skip questions, and time management.
