GameGadget dated for UK release

MCV Staff 26th January 2012 Business News

Blaze will release its new gaming handheld GameGadget in the UK on March 30th.

Positioned as an iPod-style device for gamers, it allows gamers to download games from a variety of publishers and developers, including a range of legally purchaseable retro games.

GameGadget also allows independent and homebrew developers to create games for its digital platform, along with established developers, thanks to its open source development system.

Meanwhile, publishers will be able to sell games singularly or in bundles, thanks to the iTunes-style interface.

The handheld will be priced at 99.99, and prices for downloadable games will vary.

[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.
