01/20/2012 - Indie Game Sale 14 - Games To Support Childs Play CharityIndie Game Sale - 14 Great Games - Proceeds to Support Child's Play Charity
The card tables have been set up and we're
peeling the plastic wrap off the goodies -- yes, the first ever AGS Bake Sale is underway! This indie extravaganza features
a bundle of 14 brand new games cooked up for the sole purpose of raising money for the Child's Play Charity. Indie gaming
has never tasted so good. All of the games in the AGS Bake Sale are made with Adventure Game Studio -- the
same engine behind retro-styled adventures like Gemini Rue and the Blackwell mysteries -- but the genres
are all over the map! Here's a sampling: - 9 Months In: a traditional adventure
game about a pregnant woman in prison trying to clear her name before her child is born.
- Indiana Rodent and the Raiders of the Lost Cheese: the biggest, most ambitious platform game ever
made with AGS (quite an accomplishment considering the engine wasn't created with Mario-style platforming in mind!)
- Escape The Barn: a classic "escape the room" puzzle
game, suitable for all ages.
- RAM Ghost:
an adorable virtual house simulator in the style of Little Computer People. Adopt an abandoned, unloved bit of code floating
in the endless sea of information and tend to it in the hopes that it will one day grow up to be a proper program.
- Abner The Amazing: a fantasy adventure in which a boastful knight
and his sidekick must find out who stole all the colors and left the world a grainy black and white.
- Zombie Attack: a top-down retro arcade shooter that has you battling
waves of monsters, accumulating power-ups, gathering weapons, and unlocking new characters -- all in a desperate attempt to
stop the forces of evil from taking over the earth.
You can see the full list of bundled games on the
AGS Bake Sale website: http://www.agsbakesale.com (note: all games are PC only) The Bake Sale bundle has "pay
what you want" pricing, with one small caveat: a minimum of $1.50 is required to cover payment processing. Beyond this,
any money donated goes straight to Child's Play to give sick kids a bit of gaming cheer. The developers themselves aren't
making a cent -- they've pitched in their time, their talents, and their bandwidth to raise some money for a really good cause. More
info about the AGS Bake Sale and the people involved can be found on the AGS Blog: http://ags-ssh.blogspot.com This ambitious (and delicious) event will run through February 29, and we hope you'll help us spread the word!

01/18/2012 - CALM is the Official Charity Partner of SF X TekkenCALM named as the official Street Fighter X Tekken Charity Partner in the
UK
CALM was set up to reduce the high suicide rate amongst men under 35,
currently the single biggest killer of young men in the UK. Men are three times more at risk of suicide than young women –
in 2010 75% of suicides were men. Since CALM’s launch in Merseyside in 2000, suicide numbers in young men in the Merseyside
area have fallen by a massive 55%, and now having opened an office in London, the charity has expanded its operations UK wide.
CALMzone Coordinator, Simon Howes said of the partnership. "Fresh from our work with TOPMAN and Creamfields, CALM is delighted to be working with the team behind Street
Fighter X Tekken. Our partnership shows how the gaming industry can work for social good; it enables positive messages and
innovative campaigns like CALM to engage with massive audiences in a dynamic way that could literally save lives."
Capcom will be holding two eBay charity auctions to raise money on behalf of CALM; the first will see 30 exclusive
character prints signed by the legendary games producers Ono-san (Street Fighter) and Harada-san (Tekken) being auctioned
off.
The second auction will see a very limited number of tickets to the Street Fighter X Tekken Grand Final event.
The highest bidders will be joining a private media launch for the game in central London.
100% of funds raised
by each auction will be donated to CALM.

01/17/2012 - Oddworld Strangers Wrath Discount for PSN SubscribersOddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD Discounted for PlayStation®Plus Subscribers
LOS ANGELES - Jan. 17, 2011 - Gamers looking to save a little "moolah"
are in luck, as Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD is discounted 30-percent for PlayStation®Plus subscribers on the PlayStation®Network
in North America from Tuesday, Jan. 17 to Tuesday, Jan. 31, and in Europe from Wednesday, Jan. 18 to Wednesday, Feb. 1. The
HD version of Stranger's Wrath was developed by Just Add Water, makers of the hit retro arcade game Gravity Crash,
in collaboration with Lorne Lanning, the original creator of the Oddworld franchise.
Stranger's Wrath follows the story of Stranger, a fearsome bounty hunter that captures outlaws to raise "moolah"
for a mysterious surgical procedure. After encountering the backwater town of the Grubbs, Stranger discovers that there are
a few too many secrets about the past and his future as a bounty hunter.
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD
is available now for the PlayStation®3, regularly priced at $14.99. For more information or to download press assets,
please visit http://www.oddworld.com.
About the original Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, 2005
- The fourth game from Oddworld Inhabitants, is also considered by many as one of the best Xbox games of all time. Stranger's
Wrath, tells the tale of a bounty hunter who, while hunting down criminals, attempts to conceal a secret that, if revealed,
could endanger his life. The first full-on action title in the series, mixing 3rd and 1st person-shooter
gameplay, the game was set in the Wild West of Oddworld, far from the industrial lands that housed Abe and Munch's tales.
The game adapted Oddworld's unique Gamespeak feature, using it more as a soft hint system to give the player subtle clues
while preserving the hard-core gaming integrity. The game also debuted a 'live ammo' concept where the ammunition was made
of living creatures, which the player had to capture in order to use. The game was globally well received, achieving a Metacritic
rating of 88%.

animation veterans Sherry McKenna and Lorne Lanning, Oddworld Inhabitants is dedicated to creating the next generation of
