02/27/2014 - Meridian4 Brings PC Sim Bus Driver to iOSMERIDIAN4 BRINGS FAN-LOVED
PC SIM BUS DRIVER TO iOS Bus
Driver: Pocket Edition Now Available for $2.99 on iPhone, iPad
MONTREAL – Feb. 27, 2014
– Publisher Meridian4 and developers Twisted Oak in collaboration with SCS Software today announced Bus
Driver: Pocket Edition is pulling up to the station and now available worldwide on the App Store for $2.99 USD. Bus
Driver: Pocket Edition takes all the fun gameplay of the fan-favorite PC sim and brings it to iOS devices.
Players
can expect challenge and variety in gameplay, as driving a bus is very different from blazing through a racing circuit. In
Bus Driver: Pocket Edition, players follow a sophisticated system of traffic rules and game-play related bonuses as they
transport passengers from pick up to their desired stops safely and in a timely manner. Passengers depend on the driver to
get them to their destinations on time; as such, the schedules and timetables are strict! There are large cities to drive
in, dynamic roads with intelligent traffic controlled by AI and numerous obstacles including other motorists, bikers, pedestrians
and more. The result is a challenging, enjoyable driving game where players must manage their routes, obey safety guidelines
and street laws all while drivers, distractions, and detours bring new challenges to every shift.
Bus Driver:
Pocket Edition puts players in the driver’s seat of a selection of single and double-decker rigid buses—detailed
models inspired by real-world buses—including London’s double-decker bus, America’s school bus, Europe’s
low floor buses, and more. At launch, players will enjoy twelve different routes with different challenges and difficulty
levels. More than 20 levels will be unlocked for free in future updates.
With Bus Driver: Pocket Edition,
players take on different roles such as driving a school bus, giving sight-seeing tours to tourists and even transporting
prisoners. There are large cities to drive in with several districts of varying styles: modern, old-town, suburb, airport,
harbor and more with day/night cycles and realistic weather conditions.
“As fans of classic PC games, we
are thrilled with the opportunity to bring Bus Driver to mobile,” said Andy Sher, CEO at Meridian4. “Both
the timing and the platform are perfect for a game like this. And whether you’re new to the franchise or a fan, Bus
Driver: Pocket Edition delivers all of the intensity, the challenge and the rewards that Bus Driver is known
for.”
"Fans have been clamoring for a mobile version of Bus Driver for years,” said Pavel
Sebor, chief executive officer of SCS Software. “Our partnership with Meridian4 has given us an opportunity to
reward fans with a product that respects the franchise in quality, graphics and most importantly, fun. We're very pleased
with the work Meridian4 and Twisted Oak have done and look forward to seeing how much the fans and those new to Bus Driver
enjoy the game.”
Bus Driver: Pocket Edition is now available on the App Store HERE

02/26/2014 - The Swapper Comes to PlayStation Hardware in MaySwapper clones itself
onto PlayStation 3, 4 and Vita this May Facepalm
Games award winning and critically-acclaimed sci-fi brainteaser being brought to PlayStation formats by Curve Digital
LONDON – 26.02.14 - Curve Digital, a Central London publisher of fine independent video games
is proud to announce The Swapper’s PlayStation debut as the final part of their month of announcements. The game will
be developed by sister company and development house Curve Studios and will be a fully cross-compatiblze title on Sony formats,
including Cross-Buy and Cross-Save features.
The Swapper began life as project developed by two university students,
Olli Harjola and Otto Hantula, and met with critical acclaim for its story, level design and visual style when it was launch
on PC in 2013.
The game is set on Theseus, a damaged space station and research facility. As players explore the
station, they are able to create up to four clones of yourself and can switch between them at will in order to solve a huge
variety of clever puzzles.
It’s a claustrophobic, dark and atmospheric environment, but it’s also one
that looks like no other game. The artwork of the Swapper was made using hand-crafted materials and clay, and creates a world
quiet unlike anything ever seen before on a PlayStation platform.
Jason Perkins, Managing Director at Curve Digital
said: “The Swapper highlights everything great about modern indie games - It’s polished, its mechanics seem
simple but provide a great deal of depth, and it touches on themes and narratives that triple-A games rarely explore.”
Olli Harjola, designer and developer of The Swapper commented: “The reception of the Swapper blew me away
when we launched on PC last year, and it’s really exciting to be able to launch the game to a brand new group of gamers
on PlayStation.”
The Swapper will be available to buy as a digital-only title on the PSN store in Mid-May
2014.

02/26/2014 - New Year 0 Launch DetailsYear 0 to Launch on Facebook as well as the Legendary Portal
Indie Games Developer Legendary
Games will release their much anticipated massively multi-player online strategy game Year 0 into Open Beta on March 3rd on
facebook as well as their own portal.
Year 0 is a multi player strategy game that uses the latest HTML5 technology
to allow use on any internet browser equipped device, be it PC or Kindle.
Jemma Smedley Community Manager
said: “We have had over 1000 people test the game so far and they really love the tone it is taking. It
is the first year after the apocalypse a long, ruinous war has ended but the fight for survival has just begun. In-game opponents
are real people who are looking for the exact same things as you – resources and territories! You’ll need to manage
those resources, plan out a strategy and recruit friends to be able to survive”
Year 0 will be a very different
experience compared to most social games. Most social and mobile apps are light, cute, targeted at women, non competitive
and impossible to lose. Year 0 is deliberately dark, gritty, targeted at core gamers and highly competitive
Ewan Lamont CEO of Legendary Games. For too long developers and publishers have just made the assumption that facebook
games are for middle aged women wanting to run farms and crush candy Facebook is a gaming platform just like any other there
is no reason a core game can’t work. If you are a fan of other strategy games such as XCOM, Total War, Advanced
Wars and enjoy RPG’s and Sci-fi themed games, Year 0 will definitely be the perfect match for you and your friends.
Core Game Features: • Multi-player strategy gaming against
other real people • Help your friends out with the Ally feature • Build your own army and recruit troops •
Engage in strategic game play to take control of territories • Construct
buildings and traps to defeat the enemy and enhance your territories •
Scavenge for units and upgrades

02/24/2014 - BBC Radio 4 Presents Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy GameBBC Radio 4 Extra presents the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Game
- 30th Anniversary Edition
Don’t Panic! In a special celebration of all things “Hitchhiker’s”, BBC Radio 4 Extra is
bringing listeners the brand new 30th Anniversary Edition of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Game online
and broadcasting series one and two, ‘The Primary and Secondary Phase”, on the radio.
Both will launch
on Saturday 8th March 2014, thirty-six years to the day since Hitchhiker’s first ever radio broadcast and
thirty years since the invention of the award winning game.
The global multi-media success story that is "Hitchhiker's"
started life as a BBC Radio 4 series in March 1978. The original scripts by the late Douglas Adams went on to spawn a series
of novels, a feature film, at least three stage shows, a TV series, a collection of comic books – and various towels.
The game was originally devised in 1984 by the book’s author Douglas Adams and Steve Meretzky from Infocom.
Notoriously difficult and full of oddities it was one of the best-selling games of its era .
The
20th anniversary edition of the game launched on Radio 4’s website in 2004. Over 3million moves were made in the game
in its first 3 days of launch and over 50million moves had been played within six months. It went on to win a BAFTA for ‘Best
Online Entertainment’ and to this day some fans of the game can still be found playing this ageing version online.
The 30th Anniversary specially updated version of the game will allow users to share their achievements
with friends over social media via the official twitter feed @h2g2game.
The world’s most devious game will
now be in High Definition thanks to refreshed illustrations and graphics. It is a web-based game and will be accessible via
Radio 4 Extra’s website. Players can take the game on the move as it will be compatible with tablets and other internet
enabled devices.
BBC Radio 4 Extra also proudly presents series one and two of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to
the Galaxy on air. It has been over 10 years since these programmes were last heard on BBC Radio and they perfectly accompany
the game. Actions within the game follow the plot of the radio series and some puzzles are only solvable by players with knowledge
of the programmes and story.
Caroline Raphael, Commissioning Editor for Radio 4 Extra, says: “Douglas was
a true visionary and in his own glorious way foresaw all the technology we now take for granted. Radio 4 Extra is delighted
to host this game alongside the first two series. Hitchhiker’s fans will be rewarded for their loyalty over the years
and newer fans have a real, but fiendish, treat in store. March 8th is a special day for the Galaxy so help us celebrate
it in the unique way that only BBC Radio 4 Extra can.”
