WildTangent
Studios Launches Stunning New Game at E3
WildTangent Inc., a leading developer and
publisher of downloadable games, announced the release of a spectacular new
casual game at E3, Penguins!
Penguins are cute, not very bright, in denial
about their flightless condition, and desperately in need of your help to escape
the zoo. To help 25 hapless penguins overcome the many obstacles they face along
their escape route, players may employ a wide selection of devices including
canons, trampolines, fans, rocket packs, and springs. Without your aid, penguins
will obliviously stumble off in any available direction or worse, into the hands
of the dreaded zoo keepers.
Penguins! is an entirely original new
downloadable game unlike any on the Internet today. As penguins progress through
the 100+ levels of the game, they can collect coins that players can spend at
the zoo store to buy additional levels, posters, post cards, music, wallpaper
and hilarious penguin costumes. Penguins! is also the first downloadable casual
game to incorporate in-game content delivery from the web. This allows
WildTangent Studios to continually create and publish new free content for
Penguins! players to download from the in-game zoo store long after the game has
been released.
Penguins! will be available with free trial play
from www.WildGames.com on the opening day
of E3. Penguins! will also be distributed through the WildTangent Game Console
that ships with over 60% of new consumer PCs in North America.
WildTangent Studios has a reputation for
producing the most innovative, family-friendly, high production value casual
games available on the Internet; including last year’s hit original title Fate,
which won runner-up for RPG of the year in PC Gamer Magazine, second only to
Dungeon Siege 2, a $14 million dollar retail game from Microsoft. Other well
known casual games from WildTangent Studios include Polar Bowler, BlasterBall,
and BlackHawk Striker 2.
Casual downloadable games like Penguins! have
become the fastest growing segment of the game industry and according to IDC
Research, downloadable PC games will grow to a billion dollar business by 2008.
WildTangent is one of the leaders in pioneering online game publishing with a
catalog of over 225 downloadable games from all of the industry’s top casual
game developers.
Legal Disclaimer: No Penguins were actually
harmed in the making of this game. Stunts performed by penguins in this game
were executed by trained professionals and should not be tried by penguins at
home. Any virtual penguin resemblance to actual South African Jackass Penguins
is purely coincidental. Prolonged use of a canon to fire penguins against your
monitor won’t damage your screen but does say something about you. Save a
