NXE launches with new Live title

MCV Staff 10th November 2008 Business News

To mark the arrival of the New Xbox Experience next Wednesday (November 19th), a brand new Xbox Live title – A Kingdom for Keflings – will be available for download from the online service for 800 MS points.

The title will make use of Xbox users’ own customised Avatars, one of the key features of the New Xbox Experience.

A Kingdom for Keflings will see gamers play as a giant, which takes shape as the gamers Avatar, overlooking the building of a city. Gamers give orders to ‘Keflings’ who put the town together and build it up into a fully functioning civilisation. The lighthearted title is developed by NinjaBee, a division of Wahoo Studios.

President of NinjaBee Steve Taylor said: "We wanted to make a city building game where the player is more personally involved instead of controlling an abstract floating hand.

A Kingdom for Keflings transports the player to a world they create and allows them to relax, enjoy the world and create a strategy that works for them," he added.

[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.
