To learn how to track your progress, check out our FAQ:

Where can I find my code?

Within the main menu for Brink, go to Online Stats. From there you will find a unique access code that you’ll enter on from the homepage of this site. Make sure you enter the code using capital letters and for the same platform you’re playing Brink on (PC, Xbox 360, or PS3).

Which of my player stats are represented on the Brink Community Site?

Players stats on the Brink Community Site represent a player’s multiplayer stats across all characters. This includes stats earned by playing multiplayer Freeplay games. Stats from other modes like Challenges or Campaign will not appear on the Brink Community Site.

The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 stats are reflect all stats recorded in Freeplay mode after the game’s 5/10 release date. PC stats will track all Freeplay stats from the day the PC stats site launches.

When will PC stats be available?

More details coming soon!

Can I organize clans and tournaments from the stats site?

We’re working on something for our stats site that will involve clans and tournaments. This will be arriving later this Winter.

WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND – June 2, 2011 – Launching Pad Games is proud to announce that Mighty Fin, a lighthearted undersea excursion for iPhone and iPod touch, is now available on the App Store. Designed specifically for iOS, Mighty Fin takes full advantage of the stunning Retina Display of both iPhone and iPod touch, allows users to track high scores on leader boards with Game Center, and features an array of imaginative levels that change with every replay.

With its eye-catching cartoon artwork and addictive gameplay, Mighty Fin is easy to pick up, hard to master, and impossible to put down. In desperate need of a vacation, the game’s aquatic hero has signed up for Shady Sal’s suspiciously cheap Round the World Tour. Now players must guide Fin through eight side-scrolling levels featuring beautiful isles, arctic ice caves, and vicious storms. Along the way, they’ll collect bonus bubbles and souvenir costumes, compete for medals and high scores, and most importantly, steer clear of deadly obstacles.

“The App Store gives us, as a small development team, the opportunity to create high quality material and put it in the hands of thousands of users around the world,” says Tristan Clark, Launching Pad Games’ cofounder. “Mighty Fin is fast, fun, addictive, and full of personality. Better still, it’s a game that lets you dress up a fish in a cowboy hat.”

The Mighty Fin App is available for $0.99 from the App Store on iPhone or iPod touch or at http://www.itunes.com/appstore.

Additional Mighty Fin details, including the game’s trailer and upcoming opportunities for user-generated content, can be found on Launching Pad Games’ website (http://launchingpadgames.com/games/mighty-fin ) and Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/MightyFin ).

Sydney, Australia – June 2, 2011 – Turtle Beach, the gaming headset category pioneers and market leader, today announced today their latest innovations for 2011; the PX3 Programmable Wireless Stereo Headset and the Z6A Multi-Speaker Surround Sound Headset. Both new headsets will make their debuts at the 2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, California, from June 7-9, 2011 at the Turtle Beach booth #435 in the South Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Turtle Beach Ear Force PX3 Programmable Wireless Gaming Headset

Engineered primarily for use with PlayStation 3 – and also compatible with Xbox 360 and PC/Mac gaming – the PX3 is the “kid brother” to the highly acclaimed Ear Force PX5 programmable wireless surround sound headset launched earlier this year. Like the PX5, the PX3 comes preloaded with 18 interchangeable audio presets that allow gamers to select their desired audio experience. Additional stereo audio presets will also be made available for download from the Turtle Beach website for easy installation into the PX3; letting users enjoy a personalized assortment of in-game audio experiences. The PX3 is also Turtle Beach’s first headset to feature a rechargeable battery pack, providing over 10 hours of uninterrupted game play and an auxiliary input so you can listen to your favorite music while gaming. In addition, like the PX5, the PX3 has an impressive set of audio features, including Sonic Lens with Sound Field Expander that widens or narrows the sound field to focus on specific frequencies and Ear Guard™ with Blast Limiter technology, which limits the intensity of deafening sounds.

Turtle Beach Ear Force Z6A Multi-Speaker Surround Sound Headset

Powered by a 5.1 channel amplifier with bass enhancement, the Ear Force Z6A combines the audio quality and comfort of a professional-grade gaming headset. The Z6A comes complete with eight amplified speakers including dual subwoofers, delivering realistic directional audio for a more immersive audio experience. The speakers are acoustically angled toward the user’s ears, allowing gamers to pinpoint critical sound cues from every direction, such as the sound of approaching footsteps, incoming enemy vehicles, or the click of someone reloading in the distance. With oversized mesh ear cushions and a lightweight design, the Z6A is perfect for long gaming sessions, and with a quick disconnect cable and USB power, it is the ideal solution for LAN tournaments and parties. The Z6A is also features XBOX 360 compatibility with an optional cable kit.

“We are the category leader because we are the only headset maker solely focused on gamers’ unique audio needs,” said Carmine Bonanno, President and CEO of Turtle Beach. We redefined what a gaming headset could do when we introduced the PX5 earlier this year. One message we have heard from gamers load and clear is that they want to control their gaming experience as much as possible. The PX3 allows us to bring many of the PX5’s amazing innovations to an even broader audience, while the Z6A offers PC gamers a competitive edge with a flexible multi-driver surround sound experience that provides the comfort needed for long gaming sessions.”

Millions of racing fans have flocked to ­Need for SpeedTM World to experience the thrill of illicit street racing in the popular Play4Free online PC title. Over five million registered users have battled other gamers in intense races, evaded the cops in thrilling pursuits and joined friends to outrun the law in Team Escape mode. Need for Speed World delivers an enormous, socially-connected white-knuckle Need for Speed experience.

Need for Speed World features some of the hottest cars of today including the Lamborghini Murcielago, Nissan Skyline R34 and Corvette Z06. Players can visually customize their own vehicles for that personal flair as they take down other racers in style. In addition, Need for Speed World players can be the first in the world to test drive the Audi A1 clubsport quattro unveiled at the annual Worthersee tour in Austria today. The Audi A1 clubsport quattro is exclusive to Need for Speed World and will be available to all players as a free in-game rental car from June 1 to June 4.

Joining the A1 clubsport quattro on the Audi stand at the GTI meeting are 17 series production vehicles from the current Audi model lineup. Sporting a very dynamic appearance and an exquisite finish, the Audi A1 clubsport quattro makes no secret of its potential: it is designed as a road vehicle for the race track. The heart of the showcar is a classic Audi gasoline engine – a five-cylinder unit displacing 2.5 liters with turbocharging and direct fuel injection. The output of the TFSI engine has been increased dramatically to 503 hp and 486.79 lb-ft of torque. Another area where the A1 clubsport quattro shines is its overall weight of just 3,064 lb. The powerful engine catapults the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds. From 0 to 200 km/h takes just 10.9 seconds, while the car goes from 80 to 120 km/h in fourth gear in just 2.4 seconds. A six-speed manual transmission and quattro permanent all-wheel drive deliver the power to all four wheels. Top speed is governed at 250 km/h.

Need for Speed World brings together best-in-class action racing with an unparalleled social experience on the PC. Players can compete against their friends and family or pick from thousands of players to challenge in intense online battles and police pursuits. Gamers race the way they want in an ever-expanding world with a constant stream of new content, cars, and features.
