First iPhone Screenshots of Hungribles

NEW HUNGRIBLES IPHONE SCREENSHOTS

The aim of the game is to feed the Hungribles and make them happy. The thought bubbles show you which Hungribles need feeding to complete the level. To play, you pull back and aim with the purple mushroom slingshot thingy. The rainbow shows you where the tasty orb is going to go when you let go. You can see how each Hungrible’s appetite affects the path of the orb. You get bonus points for trick shots, bouncing the orb off walls, curving it around Hungribles or hitting the pot of gold.

Compared to other physics-based puzzlers, in Hungribles there is more skill to aiming and the gravity inspired appetite effect is unique. Our latest gameplay trailer shows how it all works in action, and introduces each of the Hungribles and their effects along the way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDlg-V3OyZ4

Silicon Sisters Announces iOS Game School 26: Summer of Secrets, Featuring Music from Indie Band Hey Ocean

Silicon Sisters Announces iOS Game School 26: Summer of Secrets, Featuring Music from Indie Band Hey Ocean

With school out for summer, two Vancouver originals team up on a game for teen and tween girls who love to make music

VANCOUVER – June 23, 2011 – Silicon Sisters Interactive, Canada’s first female owned and operated video game developer, is announcing the second installment in their School 26 game series, School 26: Summer of Secrets. The upcoming iOS game combines unique social mastery gameplay with the musical stylings of popular indie band Hey Ocean! to provide girls ages 12 to 16 with a fresh and entertaining digital experience. School 26: Summer of Secrets will release for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad in July.

With school out for summer, School 26 protagonist Kate and her friends are teaming up to compete in their local music festival’s Battle of the Bands competition—and just like in real life, egos are rampant, divas are rising, and secrets are flying. Playing as Kate, convince your friends to dish. Then use your tact to share their secrets with the right people so that everyone benefits. Along the way you’ll become embroiled in true-to-life teen situations including band in-fighting, flirting, and emotional meltdowns. Hey Ocean’s music appears throughout Summer of Secrets as Kate’s band prepares for the big show.

“Like our first School 26 game, Summer of Secrets presents themes and dilemmas that are very real to today’s teens, so it makes sense that the music should come from a real band that teen girls can relate to,” said Brenda Bailey Gershkovitch, CEO of Silicon Sisters. “We believe that our game will appeal to Hey Ocean’s fans, and vice versa. Plus, it’s wonderful to be able to support a local Vancouver band.”

Released to critical acclaim in April, the original School 26 follows Kate as she navigates life at a new high school, using her emotional intelligence to make friends and solve social conflicts. To celebrate today’s announcement, Silicon Sisters is offering School 26 at the sale price of $0.99 for iPhone / iPod Touch (http://itunes.apple.com/app/school-26/id429336097?mt=8) and $1.99 for iPad (http://itunes.apple.com/app/school-26-hd/id431284898?mt=8). The game is also available for Android (http://market.android.com/details?id=com.expb.school26) and is coming soon to PC and Mac.

To learn more about Hey Ocean! and listen to songs from their latest album, It’s Easier to Be Somebody Else, visit the band’s Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/iloveheyocean.

More details about School 26: Summer of Secrets can be found on the School 26 Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/School-26/182689775093989) and on Twitter (@School_26).

Rockstar Games Announces L.A. Noire for the PC

New York, NY – June 23, 2011 – Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), and Team Bondi Pty. Ltd., are proud to announce that L.A. Noire will be arriving this fall for the PC. 

“L.A. Noire is a new type of game that makes players see through a detective’s eyes in 1940s Los Angeles,” said Sam Houser, founder of Rockstar Games. “Its unique blend of story, action and crime solving will be perfect to play on PC.”

The PC version of L.A. Noire was developed by Rockstar Leeds. It will run on a wide range of PCs and feature customization, including keyboard remapping and gamepad functionality to both optimize and customize the performance and user experience. Along with increased fidelity and improved graphical enhancements, the PC version will feature 3D support for an even greater sense of interaction and immersion within a painstakingly detailed 1940s Los Angeles. 

Developed by Team Bondi in conjunction with Rockstar Games, L.A. Noire is a crime thriller set in post World War II Los Angeles. As Detective Cole Phelps, players must search for clues, interrogate suspects and chase down criminals to solve a series of cases inspired by real world incidents. As he rises through the ranks of the LAPD, Phelps comes face-to-face with the corrupt heart of Los Angeles: from fallen starlets to double-dealing police officers and the vast reaches of the criminal underworld – and finally, the darkness of his own personal demons.

Utilizing a brand new type of facial capture technology called MotionScan, L.A. Noire breathes unprecedented life into character performances and was honored as an official selection of the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival.

Since its release on May 17, L.A. Noire has shipped approximately 4 million units worldwide to date. The game was the number one best-selling video game for three consecutive weeks in the U.K. and the fastest-selling new video game IP in U.K. history*. In addition, L.A. Noire was the highest-selling game in the U.S. for the month of May according to The NPD Group.

L.A. Noire is rated M for Mature by the ESRB and will release this fall for the PC at retail and digitally.
