New Belkin Cases Protect and Provide Easy Access to Your iPhone 4

Variety of Belkin cases include stylish, functional designs to keep you always connected by providing easy access to your new iPhone. Cases cater to the many different ways you carry your device

Sydney, AUSTRALIA – 17 June 2010 – Today Belkin launched stylish new cases for the iPhone 4, designed to complement the way that consumers carry their devices.

“iPhone users lead mobile lifestyles, taking their devices wherever they go to ensure anytime connectivity. The phones get dropped into cluttered handbags, stuffed into pockets and even carried in hand by constant users. Belkin’s new cases have been designed to protect the iPhone however it is carried, keeping it safe from damage.” said Patrick Domingue, Managing Director, Belkin ANZ.

Belkin has identified five main ways people carry their iPhone: in a pocket, in the hand, in a bag, attached to themselves, and whilst active.

For those carrying their iPhone in their pocket, Belkin’s slim cases are easy to grip, they slide in and out of a pocket smoothly, and they provide impact protection from everyday drops. For people who keep their iPhone in hand at all times, they will appreciate our line of cases that are comfortable to hold, shock-absorbing, and easy to grip. Belkin has also created cases that make your iPhone easy to find within the interiors of a travel bag or handbag and protect it against constant contact with other items.

To accommodate consumers who like to keep the device attached to themselves, Belkin offers cases that range from armbands to belt buckles, making the iPhone easy to access for intermittent use.

ChangYou.com (US) Announces Blade Wars Open Beta at E3

Free-to-play action MMORPG available to all players starting June 24, 2010

Santa Clara, CA – June 17, 2010 – Today at the 2010 Electronic Entertainment Expo, E3, ChangYou.com (US) announced June 24th as the Open Beta date for their innovative free-to-play action MMORPG Blade Wars. The game features 99 motion-captured martial arts moves, choreographed and performed by Chinese Sanda champion Liu Hailong.

Additional unique features include an advanced Combo Skills System and an exclusive Music Skill development path called “Maestro.” Blade Wars allows players to chain a series of attack skills together to form special combination skill attacks. Combo strings can be set and tailored to suit varied attack scenarios. The best players have been able to create combo strings that result in a chain of up to 99 uninterrupted hits.

The Maestro system in Blade Wars allows players to make music through use of mouse movements. Following a series of colored lines across the screen, players can begin to play pre-set tunes and then customize them with horizontal mouse movement to change the duration of selected notes and vertical mouse movement to change the pitch. If the player does well, their character earns combos and gains experience toward the next level in Music Skill. Nearby characters may enjoy the music and even join in.

“Besides ‘Maestro,’ my favorite aspect of Blade Wars is the Combo System,” says Blade Wars producer Eron Garcia. “Instead of simply attacking with the same skill over and over, or repeatedly tapping attack shortcuts, Blade Wars allows players to string together attack skills to form unique Combo attacks. We’ve adopted the phrase ‘Think before you act’ as a mantra for the Combo system.”

To learn more about Blade Wars, visit BladeWarsMMO.com. You can also follow all of the excitement at E3 by visiting the live broadcast at us.ChangYou.com.

Phar Lap comes together for 150th Melbourne Cup

Deputy Premier and Racing Minister Rob Hulls has announced today that Te Papa, New Zealand’s national museum, will loan Phar Lap’s skeleton to Melbourne Museum to celebrate this year’s 150th running of the Melbourne Cup.

“This is a major coup for Melbourne as New Zealand has never before agreed to lend Big Red’s skeleton to an international museum and it will be the first time it has travelled overseas since it arrived in New Zealand in 1933” said The Hon. Rob Hulls.

“This historic reunion of Phar Lap’s hide and skeleton will be a fitting tribute to his important place in Victoria’s racing history,” said Brett Dunlop, Manager, Melbourne Museum. “I’m sure this will make Melbourne Museum’s most popular exhibit an even greater attraction.”

“This significant loan from Te Papa will be a great way to kick off celebrations for Melbourne Museum’s 10th birthday in October”, he added. “The timing is wonderful.”

An assessment of the state of Phar Lap’s skeleton undertaken by Te Papa conservators showed that the skeleton could be loaned to Melbourne Museum without major risks.

The skeleton will go on display from September 2010 until January 2011, and will be shown alongside Phar Lap’s magnificent hide in the Melbourne Gallery at Melbourne Museum.

Deputy Premier and Racing Minister Rob Hulls made the call in April this year to reunite Phar Lap’s heart from the National Museum of Australia and its skeleton from New Zealand’s national museum Te Papa for a temporary exhibition at Melbourne Museum to celebrate the 150th running of the Melbourne Cup, as well as the 80th anniversary of the racing legend’s 1930 Melbourne Cup win.

Unfortunately museum conservators decided that Phar Lap’s heart was too fragile to travel to Melbourne from Canberra.

Over seven million visitors have come to Melbourne Museum in the past ten years, making it Australia’s most popular museum. At least 350,000 people are expected to visit the Phar Lap display at Melbourne Museum during the exhibition period.

Hero Image

FATHER’S DAY 2010

We here at the Madman institute know just how difficult it can be to find the raddest possible gift for dad. He’s so cool, cultured and crafty, there’s just no chance a new pair of socks or a grooming kit will cut the mustard. So we’ve decided to pull guess work out of the equation and take a punt that your pop falls into any, maybe even all of the following categories:

a) Car nut / Top Gear disciple.
b) Sucker for sci-fi action and whodunit thrillers.
c) Bleary-eyed World Cup watcher.
d) Sunday driver/sightseer.
e) Cigar-chomping super comedian.
f) Best friend of man’s best friend.

Well what a coincidence. It turns out Madman has the exact DVD to suit his needs this Father’s Day!

ChangYou.com (US) Signs Grayson and Robinson at E3

Santa Clara, CA – June 16, 2010 – Today at E3 ChangYou.com (US) announced that they have signed acclaimed comic book creators Devin Grayson and Roger Robinson to work on a “secret project” for their new flagship game Zentia.

Grayson and Robinson are comic industry veterans who last worked together to create the award-winning comic series Batman: Gotham Knights, which ran for a total of seventy-four issues from March 2000 through April 2006 with Grayson and Robinson collaborating on the first thirty-four. Both Grayson and Robinson are also experienced in the gaming industry, Grayson having worked on localization and communications at top gaming companies such as PlayFirst, Inc. and Perfect World, and Robinson working on Concept design and Cinematics for BottleRocket Entertainment.

Though unable to comment on the exact nature of the project, which will be announced in greater detail later this year, Grayson confirmed that she and Robinson were pleased to be working together again in one of their favorite mediums. “Both Roger and I love gaming,” Grayson acknowledged at the ChangYou.com (US) booth at E3, “and like the characters we’ve worked on together before in comics, the characters of Zentia are strongly archetypal. They lend themselves extremely well to stories, which is why they’ll be so fun to work with, and also while they’ll be so much fun for RPGers to play.”

Attendees at E3 are getting a first look at the Zentia characters coming to life in an exclusive one-page comic handout by Grayson and Robinson. With a limited print run of 5,000, the booth giveaway has become an instant collector’s item.

Developed by Pixel Soft, Zentia features a humorous comic book style in 3D, unique characters, and a unique social leveling feature that requires the entire community to work together to open higher level game content. The game is scheduled to enter Closed Beta on July 8, 2010 at 4PM PST.

Learn more about Zentia at ZentiaTheGame.com and follow all the excitement at E3 by visiting the live broadcast at us.ChangYou.com.
