[ Comments Off ] Posted on 03.15.09 under Games & Entertainment

Alexandria, March 4 — Alawar Entertainment, a leading international publisher of casual games, today announced the release of “The Enchanting Islands.” The new match-three adventure combines the best qualities of a fairy tale with a simple city simulation.

In “The Enchanting Islands,” a young lady attempts to free five magic islands from the curse of an evil witch, who has turned the once lush and verdant realms into barren wastelands. To accomplish this important task, the player must collect the alchemic ingredients needed to return life to these formerly beautiful places. Between levels, the player can exchange the ingredients for upgrades, giving rise to meadows bursting with color, blossoming sakura trees and towering oaks. Each improvement will increase the population of the islands and have a renewing effect on the environment.

Macgames.org Releases A New Tennis Game for Macintosh, Smashing Tennis

[ Comments Off ] Posted on 03.14.09 under Games & Entertainment

Autun, France – March 11, 2009 – Independent game developers at the mac games and reviews website, Macgames.org, have announced the release of their first game, a new tennis game for Macintosh, Smashing Tennis.

Smashing Tennis was created with a specific focus: to make a game challenging and entertaining for avid, arcade tennis players. Realistic physics were incorporated into the game as best as could be done in a 2D environment, therefore, the game play is accentuated by real ball flight trajectory, as well as sound effects, which are recordings of actual tennis matches. The court surfaces also come into play and greatly vary the feel and style of game play. Each court surface offered in Smashing Tennis: grass, clay, hard decoturf courts, behaves as on real life tennis court surfaces, such that grass courts will have a fast performance with balls skidding and bouncing low favoring serve and volley players; hard court surface play involves a medium speed tennis, which gives slight advantage to fast and hard hitting players; and, clay courts, having the slowest speed but high bounce, reduce any sort of power game but will work well with drop shots.
