SIDHE ANNOUNCES NEW ORIGINAL
TITLE, SHATTER, COMING TO PLAYSTATION NETWORK in 2009

Focus on a Retro-Inspired,
Modern-Crafted Package Makes Shatter a Game for Today’s Gamers

Sidhe, New Zealand’s largest game
production studio, today announced its new original title, Shatter™, which will
debut on PlayStation®Network later this year. Shatter is a retro-inspired
brick-breaking game that merges familiar action with a modern-crafted production
approach.

“We were inspired by classics in the genre, but
were very aware of the limitations that most examples don’t overcome, which
means they don’t reach the full potential possible,” said Mario Wynands,
Managing Director of Sidhe. “We stripped brick-breaking back to the base
elements, and rebuilt it from the ground up. The result is a much more connected
and visceral experience.”

Shatter will remind players of classic
brick-breaking games, but with twists that make it modern and unique including:

  • Innovative controls, physics effects,
    power-ups, special attacks, and boss battles which combine to provide an
    experience that is always interactive
  • Standard, Boss Rush and Bonus game modes
    enhanced with leaderboards and trophies
  • Vibrant 3D style presented across 10 distinct
    worlds in 4xAA 60fps HD
  • A fully scored soundtrack featuring more than
    90 minutes of original music

Shatter continues Sidhe’s moves to self publish a
range of original, high-quality titles for the console download market. For more
