GAME Downloader goes live

MCV Staff 31st August 2010 Business News

As a further foray into the growing digital space, retailer GAME has officially launched its new GAME Downloader PC software.

Upon installation, the program scans a user’s PC to identify all the installed games. These are then recorded and every time a patch or expansion becomes available the user is alerted.

Also available is an automatic download feature that will independently trigger the download of approved content. It also offers a free news service and even some free content, including indie games.

We’re continuing to enhance the customer experience through digital services,” GAME’s general manager of digital services Paul Howes stated. GAME Downloader is an example of how we can add value and engage more closely with gamers who shop for discs and downloads.”

The GAME Downloader can be found here.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

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.
