Leading casual game publisher takes a big bite out of the Apple games market with release of captivating mystery thriller 

ALEXANDRIA, Va. August 13, 2010 — Alawar Entertainment, one of the world’s leading publishers of casual games, drew blood yesterday with the release of Vampire Saga: Pandora’s Box for the iPhone and iPad. The company hopes to repeat the success of Hotel Mogul, the No. 2 selling application on the iPad, with this captivating mystery thriller for Apple’s mobile digital devices.

Following the tradition of the best Hammer horror movies and classic novels by H.P. Lovecraft, Vampire Saga casts the player in the role of Matthew Ward, a young man who steals aboard a cargo ship to escape the violence of the Spanish-American War. After passing out for no apparent reason, he wakes up to find himself alone with several sinister-looking coffins. Where did the crew go? Why is Matthew having strange visions? And why does he feel like he’s being watched?

To answer these and other questions, the player must explore several creepy Victorian-era locations, search for over 300 hidden objects, and follow a story full of nerve-pricking encounters. Along the way, atmospheric music and sound effects immerse players in the events unfolding on their iPhone or iPad.

“With a spine-chilling crime at the center of its spellbinding story, this game is not intended for the faint of heart!” says Kirill Plonikov, Alawar’s Vice President of Publishing. “But if you like eerie adventures full of twists and turns and startling secrets, Vampire Saga: Pandora’s Box will be right up your alley!”

iPhone and iPod Touch users can purchase the full version of Vampire Saga for $2.99. Vampire Saga for the iPad costs $6.99. Owners of either device can download a free lite version from the iTunes App Store.

Sydney, Australia- August 12, 2010 – 2K Games and Gearbox Software announced today that Borderlands™ fans can return to Pandora’s inhospitable environment to enjoy a brand-new destructive downloadable adventure in Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution*. This fists-of-fury-filled fourth add-on pack from the popular franchise will be available this September via Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft for 800 Microsoft Points and the PlayStation®Network for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC for (AU) $12.95 and (NZ)$15.50.

Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution invites single-player and co-op fans back to try to suppress a deadly Claptrap revolution using one of four infamous vault hunters. The foursome find themselves caught in the crosshairs of a deadly civil war between the Hyperion Corporation’s well-armed armadas and the ever-amassing army of homicidal Claptraps led by one of the most eagerly awaited characters in the franchise’s history – the cunning Ninja Assassin. As vault hunters, players must put aside their past differences with the Hyperion Corporation, namely the organization’s repeated attempts to wipe them from existence. For a hefty payday, they will join forces to help beat down the mechanical uprising and thwart the dastardly kung-fu expert, the Claptrap known only as Ninja Assassin.

“A year ago Borderlands was an untested brand that through hard work and a lot of passion, turned out to be one of the best-selling, claptastic and skagtacular games we have ever created,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “A year later, we are releasing our fourth DLC installment, Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution, which illustrates our enthusiasm for creating highly entertaining content that enhances a franchise. In addition to serving as the perfect bookend to the original game, what gamer doesn’t love a kung-fu-wielding Ninja Assassin Claptrap with nunchuck skills?”

Like its add-on predecessors, Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution offers extensive co-op integration that seamlessly melds single and multiplayer experiences, and incorporates the most explosive role-playing shooter fun imaginable. Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution will provide more than 20 new missions to loot and tons of fresh enemies to blast through, including original boss battles, waves of homicidal Claptraps, well-armed Hyperion soldiers, and local creatures that have been Claptrap-ified – including crab-traps, rakk-traps and skag-trapps. Fans can earn an additional 10 skill points for a total of 71 available skill tree points, and three more backpack slots for additional blood-yielding weapons and many hours of enjoyment.

Borderlands, rated MA 15+ by the Australian Classification Board,, is currently available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 system and PC.
