Gary Jones, Manager, Surrey Docks Farm said: “We recently worked with the team at Rising Star Games when they came down to the farm as part of a press trip.

There’s clearly a connection between Surrey Docks Farm and the Harvest Moon series so we thought we’d make it official.”

Club Penguin reveals top kids’ party must haves

Club Penguin reveals top kids’ party must haves

“Eat my shorts”, “Experlliamus” and “Beat Again” might seem an odd choice of dinner conversation, but when you hear that Bart Simpson (47%), Harry Potter (46%) and the pop band JLS (30%) topped the list of kid’s ideal party guests it makes a bit more sense!

To celebrate the launch of the NEW Lyric DJ game, Club Penguin ^[1]   - the snow-capped virtual world that plays host to millions of children throwing their own themed igloo parties commissioned research to find out what 8-12 year olds would want to make their dream party. When posed with the classic question: Which celebrities would you invite?  Bart, Harry and JLS topped the guest list as their most wanted.

Surprisingly, Princess Kate (17%) who captured the heart of the nation just a few months ago didn’t even make the top ten. Only Cheryl Cole, Miley Cyrus and avant-garde pop star Lady Gaga made the cut for the girls. 

But there were more unlikely choices from the boys and girls...

• Over half (56%) of boys chose the mischievous, animated Bart Simpson as their favourite celebrity guest ahead of sporting role models David Beckham (35%) and Lewis Hamilton (25%)
• Despite the enchantment of the Royal Wedding, today’s young girls would rather have the magic of a wizard themed party (14%)
• And almost half (44%) of girls opted for studious Harry Potter as their number one guest over heart throbs Robert Pattison (9%) and Prince William (17%)!

Everyone knows you can’t have a party without music and JLS were a clear favourite, with the British band ranking not only as the third most wanted guests, but also topping the chart of most popular bands to play, ahead of the likes of Black Eyed Peas (29%), Katy Perry (28%) and Rihanna (25%).

It’s no different on the island of Club Penguin, for a great party music is a must and that’s why Club Penguin has Lyric DJ - a fun game that lets kids enjoy party music with their friends whilst competing to be Top of the Pops. All they need is a group of friends and their favourite music and by mixing lines from their top tracks they can rock the stage and compete to be top of the igloo charts.

Club Penguin, one of the largest virtual worlds, is enjoyed by millions of kids across the UK and is valued by parents for its commitment to safety.  Kids can create their own penguin, by logging on to   ClubPenguin.com , to navigate the colourful online world playing games, going undercover on spy missions or walking their pet Puffles.  Penguins can shop for new outfits on The Plaza with the coins they’ve earned, mix dance music in the Night Club to play for their friends invited to party in their igloo.

Angler's Club: Ultimate Bass Fishing 3D (3DS)

2K Games today released a video that explains exactly what The Darkness II is all about. Mixing game footage cut up with original graphic novel material, the video is the perfect backgrounder for anyone new to this startling horror franchise.

About the game: Developed by Digital Extremes and based on the supernatural horror comic book series created by Top Cow Productions, Inc., The Darkness II takes players down a brutal and personal path as Jackie Estacado, wielder of The Darkness – an ancient and ruthless force of chaos and destruction. The Darkness II breaks out of the sea of conventional first-person shooters with its fervid Quad-Wielding gameplay, which will allow players to slash, grab, and throw objects and enemies with their Demon Arms while simultaneously firing two weapons. The game is layered with the use of dark versus light, steeped in deep and twisted storytelling, and engulfed in stylistic violence that is visualized through a hand-painted graphic noir technique that stays true to its comic book origins. “ The Darkness II is a well of dark and imaginative violence, and it’s a stylized and beautiful nightmare,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “ The Darkness II continues the 2K Games tradition of delivering quality, innovative games that are filled to the brim with atmosphere and deep storytelling. The game takes a unique stance on fighting in the dark versus light. Combined with the arsenal of weapons at Jackie’s disposal and the gruesome attacks of the supernatural Demon Arms and Darkness powers, we’re proud to announce another title that delivers on our core values of creating games for gamers.” The Darkness II will feature award-winning comic book writer, Paul Jenkins, who will provide a tightly integrated narrative that weaves dark humor with hardcore tenderness. Take a step back from the familiar and comfortable, and prepare to embrace The Darkness. It’s been two years since Jackie Estacado, now the Don of the Franchetti crime family, used The Darkness to kill the men responsible for his girlfriend’s murder. He’s been unable to shake the memory of Jenny’s death since bottling up his supernatural power, and now The Darkness wants out. A sudden, unprovoked attack on Jackie’s life heralds the start of a full-scale mob war, which has clearly been orchestrated by some outside force. The botched attempt opens the door for The Darkness to reemerge, and sets Jackie on a journey to hell and worse, as he unravels the mystery behind the attack and the motivations of The Darkness itself. “Sometimes that whooshing sound you hear is that of comic fans holding their collective breath,” said Marc Silvestri, founder and CEO of Top Cow Productions and co-creator of The Darkness comics. “So often disappointed when a favorite character gives birth to a lame movie or video game, us fans have come to expect the worst. And sometimes we get it. But not with The Darkness II . Yeah, call me biased, but this second installment of Jackie Estacado’s epic saga is – in my humble opinion – one of the most brutally cool games I’ve ever played. 2K Games hammered this one out of the park.” The Darkness II is released on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on 10th February 2012.

Epic Adventure and Daring Sword Fights Await

All Those Brave Enough to Seek the Elusive Golden Goose

 This winter, gamers will discover just how much swordsmanship, charm and flair one cat can contain, in THQ’s (NASDAQ: THQI) Puss In Boots video game, scheduled for release just prior to the debut of the new animated comedy-adventure from DreamWorks Animation SKG, INC (NASDAQ: DWA).

Available on Kinect™ for Xbox 360 ^® , PlayStation ^® 3 (Move-compatible), Wii™ and Nintendo DS™, the Puss In Boots video game takes players on a wild journey into the past of the legendary hero, long before he met Shrek.

In this swashbuckling adventure, players must master the ways of the sword and tap into their sly feline capabilities to help Puss clear his name, repay the citizens of his hometown of San Ricardo, and even serenade a few se ñ oritas along the way.

“This title beautifully brings to life all the charm, action and humor inherent in the Puss In Boots origin story,” said Martin Good , Executive Vice President of PlayTHQ ™ , the company's division for kids, family and casual games. “The depth of this journey, the richness of the atmosphere and the level of interaction with environments make for very exciting gameplay.”

With real-time swordplay woven throughout the Puss In Boots video game, players will swing, kick, block and unleash special attacks, like the adorable yet deadly “Claw Frenzy.” With practice, players will also master Puss’ stealthy ways as they climb, leap and sneak to avoid detection.

 

On Kinect for Xbox 360 , players can actually become Puss, stepping into his boots and utilizing full-body motions to fight off banditos – dodging attacks, engaging in fast-paced sword fights, strumming the guitar, and wiggling to escape enemies’ clutches.

In the PlayStation Move-compatible version for PlayStation 3 , players can choose between their trusty controllers or the Move remote, which allows them to engage in motion-based swashbuckling. Taking up the Move remote allows players to master the sword in a full-motion sword fighting experience.

With Wii , adventurers use the Wii Remote™ to slash with Puss In Boots’ sword, the Nunchuk™ to dodge enemy attacks, and button combinations to perform special attacks that deliver devastating damage to foes.

On Nintendo DS handheld systems the movie’s storyline continues with an all-new plot that finds Puss engaging in dynamic swordfights, flamenco style dance battles and dozens of other mini games for endless on-the-go fun.

The Puss In Boots video game is scheduled for release on Wii and Nintendo DS (MSRP £29.99                         GBP), PlayStation 3 and Kinect for Xbox 360 (MSRP £39.99 GBP). Its release coincides with the theatrical release of DreamWorks Animation’s Puss In Boots
