Award-WinningMatch-3 Puzzle Game Available for iPhone and iPod® Touch

DUBLIN, Ireland – December 8, 2009 — PopCap Games, the leading developer and publisher of broadly appealing video games, today announced the launch of its match-3 puzzle game hit Chuzzle™ for the iPhone™ and iPod® touch. Developed in concert with John Raptis, the designer and developer of the original PC version, Chuzzle is available immediately from Apple’s App Store on iPhone and iPod touch, or at www.itunes.com/appstore.

Chuzzle-POPCAP-01Chuzzle-POPCAP-02

“Chuzzle is another great addition to PopCap’s growing library of titles for the iPhone and iPod touch,” said Andrew Stein, director of mobile platforms at PopCap Games. “The touch screen of the Apple devices is the ideal interface for the ‘sliding’ mechanic at the core of the game.  This is a fantastic adaptation that delivers on PopCap’s outstanding track record for bringing out some of the most acclaimed games available in the App Store.  Young or old, male or female, everybody loves playing Chuzzle.”

In Chuzzle, players shift rows of cute furballs called “chuzzles” to create vertically or horizontally matching sets of three or more chuzzles of the same color, causing the chuzzles to explode with happiness while more chuzzles drop from above to take their places. Four different game modes offer a nearly infinite range of challenges across seemingly limitless levels, and giant chuzzles, rainbow chuzzles, super chuzzles, and other bonuses help overcome various obstacles.

Key features of Chuzzle iPhone include:

  • Four different modes providing infinite level configurations and virtually limitless game play:
    • Classic Mode: the original Chuzzle in all its glory
    • Zen Mode: Stress-free, endless play without levels, locks or other constraints; the player’s progress is indicated by colorful markers that appear as higher thresholds of popped chuzzles are reached
    • Mind-Bender Mode: a different sort of Chuzzle puzzle in which players slide rows and columns of chuzzles to make specified patterns

Speed Mode: standard Chuzzle action – only faster (and harder!)

  • Trophy Room: Your own personal “Hall of Fame” with more than twenty different trophies to collect and admire!
  • Scrambles: This special option instantly shuffles all chuzzles on the board anytime you run out of options/moves; in the mobile version of the game, players can earn and save up to five scrambles at any given time, earning an additional scramble every 150,000 points

Dynamic Level Generation: Ensures each game is different no matter how many times you play 

PopCap’s current library of iPhone and iPod touch titles also includes Bejeweled™ 2, Peggle™ and Bookworm™.  The highly acclaimed Plants vs. Zombies™ will be available soon.

EA Goes to War with All New Medal of Honor

EA Reinvents Franchise with New Development Teams, New Soldier, New Setting

MedalOfHonor-EA 

Medal of Honor returns to the front lines, this time in today’s war. For the first time in the franchise’s 10-year history, Medal of Honor is leaving the WWII theatre and putting players in war-torn Afghanistan. Electronic Arts  today revealed that in 2010, Medal of Honor, an all-new first-person shooter game, will introduce the Tier 1 Operator: a relatively unknown entity directly under the National Command Authority who takes on missions no one else can handle. The development team has been working closely with Tier 1 Operators from the U.S. Special Operations Community since the earliest stages of development to create the most authentic modern war experience. Inspired by real events, Medal of Honor reveals the mission of today’s most elite American soldier – his will, his mindset and his uncompromising professionalism.

Medal of Honor is being built with a best-in-class single-player campaign. The Medal of Honor development team at EALA has been hand-selected by the studio leadership of General Manager Sean Decker, Executive Producer Greg Goodrich and Senior Creative Director Rich Farrelly. To compliment the single-player experience, EALA has enlisted the multiplayer expertise at EA DICE. This team will develop the multiplayer experience of Medal of Honor. These two studios are coming together to deliver a world-class Medal of Honor that is poised to re-set the franchise for a new generation.

“When we first set out to reinvent Medal of Honor, we wanted to stay true to its roots of authenticity and respect for the soldier but bring it into today’s war. The Tier 1 Operator is the most disciplined, deliberate and prepared warrior on the battlefield.  He is a living, breathing, precision instrument of war.” said Greg Goodrich, Executive Producer, Medal of Honor. “We are honored to have the rare opportunity to work closely with these men to create a game that shares their experience.”

“EA has always been an advocate for telling the soldiers’ story. The new Medal of Honor follows that tradition. We felt it was important to tell the story of today’s war and today’s elite soldiers via today’s most relevant medium – videogames,” said Sean Decker, VP and General Manager of EALA. “We are so proud to bring together two powerhouse development teams to make this game a reality; EA Los Angeles and EA DICE. Medal of Honor promises to be an unforgettable entry in the modern shooter genre.”

Expect plot twists that will surprise you and a huge cast of twisted, disgusting monsters that are sure to scare the daylights out of you.”

Originally launched in 2008, Dead Space quickly became one of EA’s top rated wholly-owned intellectual properties. With close to 100 industry awards and an average critic score of 89*, Dead Space became a hit with horror and videogame fans worldwide. In 2009, EA launched Dead Space Extraction, a prequel to the original Dead Space that expanded the fiction and brought the franchise to a new audience base.
