With the increasing popularity of USB memory sticks and the rapid emergence of the Netbook laptop market, Manaccom – one of Australia’s longest established computer software publishers – has re-launched a selection of its award-winning PC products in the portable memory stick format. 

Manaccom’s Ian Mackay said it made good sense to offer its products in the portable format because USB was quickly becoming the standard of choice among Netbook, laptop and home PC owners alike.

“Netbooks are smaller, low-cost laptops designed for work and entertainment, especially for people on the go, but they don’t feature CD/DVD drives.”

“USB memory sticks are second to none when it comes to speed, convenience, portability and security. Also, they are becoming less expensive with greater capacity, some sticks are able to hold 16GB of data,” Mr Mackay said.

Mr Mackay said USB memory sticks were crossing over from the burgeoning Netbook market and were now revolutionising the way traditional home PC users are buying and storing their software.

“USB drives can be carried on a key ring or lanyard, thus eliminating the need to cart around a toolbox full of bulky CDs and floppy disks. Those cumbersome days will soon be gone just like the 80s when vinyl and cassettes were replaced by CDs,” Mr Mackay said. “A further benefit is that users will be able to keep other files on these sticks adding to the convenience of the format.”

“Manaccom is offering its USB software at the same RRP as its CD range. Manaccom’s products are available throughout Australia and New Zealand at all major computer retailing outlets and all come with the reassuring back-up of Australian-based technical support.”

Manaccom software products available for USB in November 2008 include:

• Trend Micro Internet Security;
• EdAlive range of titles including the popular “Numbers up! Baggin’ the Dragon” and “Aussie Spellforce”;
• “Learn Now!” Language software range including Japanese, French, Italian, German, Chinese;
• CompareOffice 2008; and
• Quickcraft range for kids;

…with many more to come on range in the near future.

– 4 December 2008 – Today’s ATARI LIVE showcase event in London provided 300 invited guests from across Europe and the US with an exciting vision of the future of Atari, one of the world’s most recognised video game publishers.  The vision was unveiled by CEO David Gardner and President Phil Harrison during a keynote address held at Matter, the state-of-the-art live venue inside London’s imposing O2 Arena, while the Ghostbusters Stay Puft marshmallow man braved the weather to stand guard outside.

Following the recent announcement of a long term distribution partnership between Namco Bandai Games and Atari, the distribution by Atari of the eagerly anticipated arcade fighter TEKKEN 6 was announced by Project Lead Katsuhiro Harada who flew in from Japan especially for the event.

Another very special guest from Japan was Tetsuya Mizuguchi, CCO of Q Entertainment, the visionary mind behind Rez, Lumines and Every Extend Extra.  Mizuguchi-san attended the event to announce the worldwide retail launch next spring 2009 of Q³ (Qubed – working title) for Xbox 360, a pack comprised of Rez HD, Lumines Live! and E4, and to reveal the first details of a forthcoming music game to be published by Atari.

CD Projekt co-founder Marcin Iwinski arrived from Warsaw the morning of the event to announce the forthcoming launch of The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf, a remake of the highly acclaimed million-selling PC RPG, to be published by Atari in Spring 2009 for PLAYSTATION®3 and Xbox 360.

Other highlights were the announcements of Ready 2 Rumble Revolution for Wii coming in March 2009;  Demigod for PC to be distributed by Atari in early 2009, and the retail version of Sam & Max: Season 2 for PC and Wii, another title which, like EVE Online, Atari is growing from the online space into retail.  EVE Online also featured in the keynote with a presentation by CCP CEO Hilmar Peterssun who flew in from Iceland.

“This is a very exciting time for Atari, with a rapidly expanding line up of extremely high quality products, the new distribution partnership with Namco Bandai Games, and our new studio in London, all of which will see us move forward with confidence towards our vision for Atari’s future,” said Phil Harrison, President of Infogrames Entertainment, the parent company of Atari. “We’re very proud to be working with such a wealth of incredible game development talent and the exciting prospects that these collaborations will yield for Atari as a publisher and for the ever-expanding audience of gamers across the globe.”

Also making appearances during the course of the presentation were Paulina Bozek, recently announced as the development director of a new Atari online development team based in London; David Nadal, studio head at Eden Games; Daryle Tumacder, game designer on Afro Samurai at NAMCO BANDAI Games; Andrew Haworth, creative director at Ghostbusters Xbox 360, PS3 and PC developers Terminal Reality; Dustin Dobson, creative lead at developers of Ghostbusters for Wii and PS2 Red Fly; Jerk Gustafsson, lead designer on The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Dark Athena at Starbreeze Studios; Mike Marr, lead designer at Demigod developer Gas Powered Games; and Henrik Roos, CEO of renowned racing sim developer Simbin, who was there to talk about RACE Pro for Xbox 360, which in January will bring Simbin’s phenomenal expertise to console for the first time.

Following the keynote presentation, retailer, partners and media were treated to game presentations of the titles mentioned above, plus Heroes Over Europe coming to Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 and PC; Codename Panzers: Cold War on PC; and The Chase: Felix Meets Felicity for DS. 

Game presentations to media will continue on, following a party at which music game legend Tetsuya Mizuguchi has promised to show London how to DJ, Tokyo-style.

The entire keynote presentation will be available to watch streaming online or as a download NOW at www.atari.com.

– 4 December 2008 – At the ATARI LIVE showcase event in London today, Atari and CD Projekt RED announced plans for the global release of The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf on PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft in Spring 2009. 

Based on the story of multi award-winning million-selling PC role-playing game The Witcher and completely rebuilt pixel by pixel for the new generation of consoles, The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf brings the unrivalled RPG experience to Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 with a brand new combat system for thrilling dynamic action, and a new engine delivering matchless state-of-the-art visuals.  The game is underpinned with the evocative and enthralling story which helped secure the original game’s status as PC role-playing game of 2007, based on the mature and compelling universe created by renowned Polish fantasy writer Andrzej Sapkowski.

“The creative vision and dedication to the quality of the player experience that CD Projekt RED bring to the Witcher games is extraordinary, and it’s great to be working with them to bring the Witcher universe to console gamers,” said Phil Harrison, President of Infogrames Entertainment, the parent company of Atari. “Taking this brilliantly realised world to PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360 gamers for the first time is a breakthrough in the development of this important franchise.”

“We’re thrilled to continue our great relationship with Atari, whose refreshing focus on quality fits squarely with our own, to bring Geralt and the Witcher franchise to an even larger audience – fans who expressed to us very clearly that The Witcher would be a natural fit on consoles,” said Adam Kici?ski, CEO, CD Projekt RED. “Console gamers’ tastes are maturing; they’re looking for deeper story-driven experiences that are very hard to find in today’s console market. We’re developing this remake based upon the compelling narrative that helped The Witcher on PC sell more than a million copies and win more than 100 awards, building everything else from the ground up to be the definitive console RPG.”

Based on the universe created by best-selling Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf puts players in the role of Geralt, a professional monster slayer who exists on the fringes of a complex society troubled by the kind of problems more commonly found on the front pages of newspapers than in a fantasy universe.  Taken as a child, mutated, and trained in the arcane ways of the witchers, Geralt is a reluctant hero, who nonetheless finds himself all too frequently in the heat of battles that are not his own.  In this world there is no right or wrong, only decisions and consequences. 

With The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf, the best PC RPG in recent years is being completely remade as the ultimate console RPG. The title is being developed by a core team from CD Projekt RED working alongside France-based Widescreen Games who provide their cross-platform DaVinci engine technology.  For more information about The Witcher visit www.thewitcher.com.
