10/17/2012 - The Settlers Online Halloween EventUBISOFT® AND BLUE BYTE® HAVE CONCOCTED A BLOODCURDLING HALLOWEEN EVENT FOR THE SETTLERS® ONLINE
London, UK – October 17th, 2012 - Ubisoft® and its renowned studio
Blue Byte® are bubbling up a very special Halloween event for The Settlers ® Online. A
chilling wind will be howling across the vast lands of the free online game, bringing with it a host of deliciously sinister
new features. On the Halloween party menu are new buildings, creepy customisations, diabolical buffs, bonus quests and loads
more surprises for the taking in the Halloween Item Shop.
New characters that go bump in the dark: Eliot,
the pumpkin master and an exclusive general, The Grim Reaper
The diabolical Halloween celebrations will
unfold in a twilight world bathed in macabre music. The events will be brought to players by a new NPC who answers to the
charming name of Eliot. A master of pumpkins, Eliot is in charge of setting quests and delivering rewards. The more spirited
players will be able to send the Grim Reaper into battle, a strapping general with a formidable presence.
Pranks,
pumpkins and confetti
Grow and harvest as many Pumpkins as possible to fill up on special bonuses. Cashing
in on the juicy crop will give access to one of five new potions (otherwise known as buffs), including Zombie, Mr. Myers,
Darkness, Frank and Stein and A Very Strong Light. These potions (buffs) will act like spells to increase production
or, if devilish pranks are your thing, to bring a friend’s production to a grinding halt.
Players will also be
able to place, move and exchange new buildings, with the Pumpkin Field, the Village School, and a selection of crumbling
ruins starring for the very first time in this Halloween event, alongside the Silo Building.

10/15/2012 - Pixel Factor Releases Pirate Plunder on iOSPixel Factory Launches Pirate Plunder – New Action-Puzzle Game
ST. LOUIS, MO – OCT. 15, 2012, Pixel Factory, today announced
the release of the newest action-puzzle game, Pirate Plunder for iOS devices. Players are tasked with connecting the
stranded pirate parrot to all of his treasure scattered across the ocean using only a set number of barrels to progress through
each level.
Using a never before seen gameplay mechanic, players must use TNT to blast through obstacles, discover buried
treasure, avoid deadly mines, and maneuver around the level to make a path for connections in order to connect Captain BlackJack
with his lost booty. Stunning visuals showcase Apple’s retina display, while cartoon visuals and entertaining
audio create a fresh and addictive experience for players of every age.
“Challenging is definitely one word
you could use to describe Pirate Plunder,” said Trey Baugher, Founder of Pixel Factory and creator of the game. “Unique
is another. Similar to when Angry Birds burst onto the scene with it ‘sling shot’ gameplay, Pirate Plunder
is bringing its own new ‘connection’ gameplay front and center. It’s not until you start playing that
you truly grasp the real appeal of this new type of game.”
Players can decide how much they want to challenge
themselves with the implementation of the "3 Star" reward system, or "Jems" in the case of Pirate Plunder.
Earning three "Jems" on each level will truly fry players’ brains, in a good way. A non-violent, thought-provoking
game meant to hone gamers’ analytical skills, is sure to entertain.

studio based out of Edwardsville, Illinois. Founded by a graduate of the award-winning school for entertainment media,
