TOM CLANCY’S GHOST RECON PHANTOMS® LAUNCHES NEW MAP

The Galleryextends the number of maps in game to 10

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA – May 28, 2014 – Today, Ubisoft® announced the release of a brand new map, The Gallery, in Ghost Recon Phantoms^®.

“This new map is set in a circular museum inspired by the Guggenheim in New York. The difference is a double-helix staircase, similar to the Bramante Staircase in the Vatican Museum. To boost the level of challenge in The Gallery, there is only one point to capture, located at the top of the map, so both teams have to make their way to the top using one of the two paths. The Gallery was designed to have very little room to hide, making the map both tactical and fast-paced,” explained Simon Davis, Lead Designer on Ghost Recon Phantoms.

Additionally the recently released map voting feature allows players to choose which of Ghost Recon Phantom’s 10 maps they want to fight on.

Arrr!! Acclaimed Scurvy Scallywags Match-3 / RPG Mash-Up Now Plundering on Android Phones and Tablets

Hit game from Ron Gilbert and Clayton Kauzlaric is a free download on Google Play

WOODINVILLE, Wash. – May 28, 2014 – Scurvy Scallywags in The Voyage to Discover the Ultimate Sea Shanty, a pirate-themed mobile game from indie developer Beep Games, has come ashore for Android phones and tablets. The game is a free download from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beepgames.scurvyscallywags

Created by game industry veterans Ron Gilbert (Monkey Island, The Cave) and Clayton Kauzlaric (Voodoo Vince), Scurvy Scallywags is part match-3 game, part RPG, part Broadway musical, and entirely fun! Your customized pirate character appears on a classic-style match-3 game board, along with loot to be plundered, valuable quest items, and enemies who want you dead. When you match three or more tiles the board shifts in the direction you swiped, so you can use strategy to line up your pirate with items you need or avoid monsters stronger than you.

The unique Scurvy Scallywags received universal praise when it released for iOS last June, with accolades including perfect review scores from Slide to Play and Touch Arcade, an aggregate 84% Metacritic score, and a consistent 4.5-star user rating on the App Store. Gaming site Kotaku praised the game as “a puzzle masterpiece,” while consumer newspaper USA Today called it “a treasure worth discovering” with “music … as enjoyable as the challenging gameplay and humor.”

“We’re super excited that Scurvy Scallywags is available on Android,” said Ron Gilbert. “Super excited!” added Clayton Kauzlaric. Ron then started rambling on about programing stuff, and quite frankly, we stopped paying attention.

Features:

• Travel through four mysterious lands to find all 16 hidden verses of the Ultimate Sea Shanty, a long-lost ditty brimming with secret pirate lore by acclaimed composer Steve Kirk.
• Dress up your character in funny costumes, build ships, and choose from a long list of special abilities, moves, and weapons to give your pirate an edge in combat.
• Complete 50 achievements and keep plundering randomly generated islands long after you’ve finished the game’s main story.
• Innovative match-3 mechanic and donkey poop side quest.
• Optimized for Android phones and tablets!

Infinite Crisis: Rip your enemies apart with Atrocitus!

Get an early look at Atrocitus in the latest Champion Profile video from Infinite Crisis, the free-to-play MOBA from Turbine based in the DC Universe! On Wednesday 11^th June, players will unleash furious might on their unsuspecting foes, when Atrocitus officially goes live in-game!

Bent on all-out war, Atrocitus leads an army of Red Lanterns.

Before the Green Lantern Corp existed, the Guardians of the Universe used robotic Manhunters to keep the peace. But a programming flaw caused them to slay trillions. Atrocitus and four other survivors became the Five Inversions, fanatics who were in time routed and imprisoned by the Guardians. Atrocitus, however, managed to escape. He murdered a fellow Inversion using a red lantern, creating the first Red Power Ring. Armed with the raw force of rage made manifest, his war on the Guardians began anew.

Able to isolate his enemy, Atrocitus thrills in picking a fight and shrugging off damage.
