MCV Staff 30th May 2011 Business News

HMV CEO Simon Fox has hailed GAME’s digital plans, telling MCV that the specialist is absolutely doing the right things”.

He said HMV is looking closely at GAME’s strategy, whilst also evolving its own 7digital music service to include games and film.

What GAME is doing makes total sense and it is absolutely an area for us to look at,” Fox told MCV.

7Digital has had a very good year. Through them we are the in-bedded music store on the Blackberry PlayBook, the Samsung Galaxy tablet and a whole range of other tablets. And now we are on the homepage of these devices, I think there is a whole host of opportunities for us.

We started with music, but we are also offering an ebook service to Waterstone’s, and we need to evolve into games and film.”

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
