Santiago de Compostela, Spain – Moonbite, the European studio of games and animation based in Spain, has gladly launched its first-person-survival-horror-comedy-shooter Zombeer, Zombies & Beers on Steam’s Greenlight. In celebration of the occasion, Moonbite today unveils a brand new video featuring the cruel effects of zombification in Zombeer’s gameplay.

On Greenlight, the PC player community has the opportunity to take part in the adventure and make the game happen on the Steam platform. Positive votes will push the game up in the Greenlight ranking.

After voting, you can also participate by simply adding your name on Zombeer Website, and be included in the credits of the game plus appearing in a secret room hidden in the game itself. Let’s make it the biggest credits list in History.

This second gameplay video features new (and ugly) villains, the nailer weapon, and above all the famous zombification process that can only be controlled by the consumption of… zomBeer of course. Drinking will prevent the virus from awakening the zombie inside you, but like in real life you will need to drink in moderation or risk losing control for another bad reason. The other way around, not drinking at all, will actually turn you into a zombie which is both good and bad news as you will probably discover soon enough…

Zombeer, Zombies & Beers is planned to be released on consoles, PC and Mac later this year.

City Interactive’s Dogfight 1942 will be available for Steam members on September 24, 2012. Dogfight 1942, the exhilarating console-like experience available as a digital download, aims to bring the aerial combat genre to a whole new level. It combines the pick-up-and-play simplicity of an arcade game, the convenience of a digital download, with the depth and production value typically found solely in traditional retail games.

Dogfight 1942 is a fast-paced WWII air combat arcade-style game that features three unique game modes — Dogfight, Survival and Campaign — each offering an abundance of action that is engaging and exciting. City Interactive seamlessly implemented intuitive controls in order to reduce the need for lengthy tutorials and for gamers of all levels to quickly and easily grab a remote and jump right into the game.

However, while the controls are not overly complicated, gameplay is extremely competitive so that even the most ardent flight game fan will find Dogfight 1942 challenging.

In addition to the Steam release, City Interactive today launched their second DLC installment, Dogfight 1942: Fire Over Africa on Xbox Live Arcade. Fans of the game are presented with the challenge of facing the infamous General Rommel in a clash with his forces above Tobruk. The all-out battle in the sky marks one of the most pivotal aerial skirmishes on the African front – the Battle of El Alamein.

In Fire Over Africa, players will need to become Britain’s top pilot in order to help the Allies repel the Nazi threat before the ominous shadow of the Axis Alliance takes over the sands of Africa. The scorching hot African sky will soon light up with the flames of heavy cannons and fill with the smoke of bullet-ridden fighter planes.

Think you have what it takes to conquer the enemy? If so, hop in the cockpit and show us what you got.

Dogfight 1942 is out now on XBLA for 1200 Microsoft Points and is on Steam for £11.99

Espoo, Finland – Rovio Entertainment, the creators of Angry Birds, announced their newest game on September 4, 2012, Bad Piggies, launching September 27 for iOS, Android and Mac. This innovative game turns the franchise on its head by letting the fans play as the pigs – with all new, never-before-seen gameplay – and not a slingshot in sight.

“There’s a lot of empathy towards the lovable enemies from the Angry Birds games, and we’ve been constantly asked: what about the pigs’ side of the story?” said Mikael Hed, CEO of Rovio. “Bad Piggies gives you the chance to play as the second-most-loved characters in the Angry Birds universe, and explore this rich world through their green eyes.”

The new game will launch on iOS, Android and Mac on September 27. Windows Phone, Windows 8 and PC versions will follow shortly.

“We’ve had a lot of fun creating a totally new and unique gameplay experience,” said Petri Järvilehto, EVP Games at Rovio. “There’s so much more to these pigs than what is seen in the Angry Birds games, and Bad Piggies is the first glimpse into what’s going on in the imaginative and ingenious minds of the pigs.”

To get in on the action and see all the gameplay news first, go to www.badpiggies.com, follow the pigs on Twitter twitter.com/badpiggies and like the pigs on Facebook facebook.com/badpiggies. Stay tuned during the next few weeks, and see what the pigs are up to.

Tel-Aviv, Israel — SpikySnail Games, announced on August 21, 2012, that The Splatters is currently in development for PC and Mac, and will be available on Steam as soon as the game is ready for release.

The Splatters debuted on Xbox Live Arcade earlier this year and received a number of editor’s choice awards. Despite the critical acclaim for the XBLA version, SpikySnail is focused on re-imagining the game for the PC audience and will deliver a new version that builds on the success of the console game.

“As much as we love the the XBLA version of the game, we also learned a lot from it,” said Niv Fisher, co-founder of SpikySnail Games. “Being small and independent brings plenty of disadvantages, but one of the upsides is getting to do what you really believe in.

And in this point in time we would like to try a little different approach which we believe is a meaningful improvement. It also gives us tons of new and interesting stuff to deal with besides the port itself (which can get quite boring).”

The studio expects the PC, Mac and Linux versions of the game to take a little longer than usual, so no release dates are being announced yet. The team believes the extra time and effort required to make the game right for PC, Mac and Linux gamers will be worth the wait.

Those familiar with the XBLA version will find lots of new stuff to discover when the game is released on Steam. Those who haven’t had the chance to try The Splatters, will get a bigger and better experience all-around.

About The Splatters

The Splatters is an original arcade-style puzzler that challenges your brains and reflexes in a world of physics-based addiction.  In the game you control The Splatters, a band of acrobatic, liquid filled creatures. Set in a world where altering physics, performing crazy stunts and setting off a series of bomb explosions, seems like the right thing to do.

It’s a frisky show of skill, challenge and splattery destruction.
