The update also includes support for the Retina display on the new iPad as well as new localizations for Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

ABOUT CUT THE ROPE: EXPERIMENTS
Cut the Rope: Experiments features the familiar and lovable little monster Om Nom who is discovered by a mad (but not bad) scientist determined to study his candy-loving behavior through a series of experiments. Cut the Rope: Experiments now has six level packs in colorful new settings and 150 levels in total. While the premise of this game is similar to the original Cut the Rope, and continues to follow the laws of physics as players swipe ropes, collect stars, and deposit candy into Om Nom's mouth, Cut the Rope: Experiments requires a different kind of strategy as players cut ropes and maneuver mechanical hands to navigate around rope guns, suction cups, rockets, and through water!

Telesocial Launches an In-Game Mobile Calling Mod for Minecraft

Thu, 24 May 2012 11:00:00 +0000

Telesocial Releases a Free Minecraft Modification to Add Social Voice Features Within the Game

Telesocial (www.telesocial.com), the San Francisco-based cloud telephony service platform, has released a free modification, or "mod" plugin for the popular game, Minecraft. The Telesocial mod allows Minecraft players to call each other or initiate group calls on their mobile phones directly from within their game. Call recipients do not have to be in the game in order to receive calls from other players. Players can now join a Minecraft conversation wherever, whenever and never miss a beat.

Some of the cool Telesocial Minecraft mod features include group player calling, server conference spaces, a server calling directory, and call blocking. Additionally, because Telesocial understands that not everyone can talk throughout the day, they have launched a feature that lets players control when they are available to receive calls.

Telesocial is currently the only solution for Minecraft players to initiate mobile-to-mobile group calls in a safe and anonymous way. Using the Bukkit development environment, the Telesocial plugin is easy to download and registration is quick and secure. Furthermore, the mod does not require VoIP, any software to download or a headset hooked up to a computer, making this mod one of the simplest voice solutions in the industry.

"Minecraft players are looking for new and innovative ways to enhance their gaming experience," says Eric Stone, CTO and co-founder of Telesocial. "Telesocial's Minecraft mod instantly adds a fun new feature that is convenient and useful. It takes gaming to the next level," adds Stone.

Telesocial's unique technology is one of the most disruptive innovations in mobile and gaming convergence. Telesocial's technology translates players IDs into phone numbers, making it the safest way to communicate with voice in a group setting online.

Telesocial's Minecraft mod is currently available to use in the U.S. and uses the Telesocial API. To learn more and get the instructions on how to download the plugin visit: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/telesocial-plugin/

The Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA), led by President Sang-Pyo Hong, is going to hold ITS GAME 2012, where key buyers in international game markets are invited with an aim to support the export of Korean games, on May 30 and 31 in COEX, Seoul.

The original round for registration closed in April. Pressed by ceaseless interests and inquiries of many companies at home and abroad, however, an additional round is opened. To date in May, 110 companies in Korea and 70 foreign buyers from 20 countries have registered for this event. They include key international game buyers such as Shanda Games and the Perfect World of China, German game companies gamigo AG and ProsiebenSat.1 Games and Korea's largest game makers including Ncsoft, NHN, CJ E&M and Neowiz. It has been recognized as the biggest B2B game event in the first half for 3 years in a row.

Its key program, export meetings among Korean and foreign companies, is designed to support business matching by taking advantage of the Internet (http://biz.kocca.kr). Support for participants include professional interpreters dedicated to help foreign buyers.

In addition, the seminar scheduled to be held on the first day (May 30) morning will provide information on the current status of emerging game markets in Central and South America and Southeast Asia and on strategies to advance into such markets, while other programs including the reception will serve as a forum for networking among participants.

"We have made many preparations to help Korean game companies discuss with foreign buyers and obtain substantial results. The Agency will continue promoting various overseas expansion programs centering on emerging markets," said Jin-gyu Kim, head of the Game and Convergence Content Industry Division of KOCCA.

"Alien From Area 51" Forces the Question -- Are We Alone? Curious About 'Men In Black III'? Check Out 'Dark Watchers: The Women In Black,' One of Many New Titles From Reality Entertainment, Renowned Producer of Cutting Edge Films Exploring Everything From

Wed, 23 May 2012 21:54:00 +0000

Thousands of folks will be lining up on Memorial Day Weekend to see Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones time travel back to 1969 to fight an alien criminal in "Men In Black III," one of the "must see" sequels of Summer 2012.

More discerning and sophisticated film fans interested in the same type of subject matter will be checking "Alien From Area 51: The Alien Autopsy Footage Revealed" and "Dark Watchers: The Women in Black," the latest two titles in a growing catalog of hundreds of daring, challenging and infectiously compelling, and often frightening, titles from Reality Entertainment (http://www.reality-entertainment.com/films/). Loaded with trailers and full-length features, the company's wildly popular dedicated YouTube page has millions of video views and is testament to the growing popularity of the company's films and overall brand.

Creating works that fascinate, intrigue, scare and taunt us with invitations to enter realms and possibilities about the universe and our spiritual and physical place within it, Reality Entertainment is a world-renowned producer of mind-bending, cutting edge films by world class authors, researchers and experts from across the globe. They challenge our long-held beliefs about history, the spirit realm and whether we're truly alone in the universe, and no subject is off limits.

Mysteriously and often eerily reflecting its branding philosophies "Reality is what you make it" and "Strange is Normal," the broad-based multimedia company ventures into uncharted realms with what founder and company CEO Warren Croyle calls "profound, life altering and epiphanous films that explore taboos and expand human consciousness."

Over the past few years, the parent company of Reality Entertainment launched Chemical Burn, a new film division for true life horror and gore films and other types of titles that are equally provocative but are beyond the scope of Reality Films' subject matter. Like Reality, Chemical Burn releases two titles a month. Current titles include "The Defiled," "I Sold My Soul To Satan," "BANE: Experiment in Human Suffering" and "Lady of the Dark: Genesis of the Serpent Vampire."

Bitzio, Inc. Announces Close of Motion Pixel Corporation Acquisition

Wed, 23 May 2012 13:15:00 +0000

Bitzio, Inc. ("Bitzio" or "the Company") (OTCBB:BTZO), a leader in apps, mobile media and behavioral analytics, today announced the definitive acquisition of Motion Pixel Corporation Holdings, Inc. ("MPC"), a high-end media and animation studio with operations in the U.S., Costa Rica, and India.

The MPC acquisition adds 35 animators, developers and managers to the expanding Bitzio global team. Terms of the acquisition to be disclosed upon an upcoming 8-K filing.

William Schonbrun, President and CEO of Bitzio commented, "The acquisition of MPC elevates the quality, beauty and experience of a Bitzio app to that of an animated movie. MPC's media and animation capabilities sync perfectly with our company vision. MPC also brings with it amazing relationships with sports and entertainment properties - and through those relationships we are able to secure mobile and digital rights to animated versions of world renowned athletes and stars." Examples of MPC's animation work can be viewed on their Demo Reel.

"Bitzio is now a company focused on delivering mobile apps with movie quality animation and game play, virtually never found in mobile apps. With MPC's high end visual capabilities, and media and licensing rights, we can now completely focus on delivering apps for existing fans of sports teams, athletes and stars - and we can include animated versions of those teams and stars in the mobile game. We believe focusing our efforts on the existing fans of sports and entertainment properties, coupled with the quality of our apps and our behavioral analytics capabilities are massive differentiators. This is what sets us apart from other app development companies."

Revenue will be generated from several channels including paid downloads, freemium (free to paid user) conversions based on premium content, in-app advertising, in app sponsorship, premium in-app purchases (game enhancement features) and cross promotion of other apps built around the sports or entertainment property through the Company's proprietary App Wall technology.

Manny Bains, CEO of MPC commented, "Our team has seen a perfect alignment with Bitzio's corporate strategy. We have the ability to create a level of graphic beauty that is rare in the world of apps right now. Bitzio brings the technology, deployment, marketing and monetization capabilities to the table. We chose to become a part of Bitzio because of their talent and vision. They have solved the conundrum that most app development companies have, how to connect with users. They are truly a behavioral analytics company masquerading as an app developer and this excites us. The value of marketing to existing fan bases boosts potential monetization and user conversion rates to levels we have never seen."

Bitzio will be focusing on developing apps for four key verticals of existing fan bases: sports teams, entertainment, Bollywood and gaming. The Company will utilize the Bitzio Platform, which includes proprietary technologies such as Bitzio's App Wall to market, monetize and analyze user behavior.

Crowd Source Marketing: An Untapped Gold Mine for Mobile Developers

Wed, 23 May 2012 12:33:00 +0000

Accelerate User Acquisition Through Trusted SMS Referrals From Your Friends

Despite a weak national economy that has hurt nearly every other industry, mobile gaming remains a lucrative venture that generated approximately $5 billion in revenue last year and is projected to reach $16 billion by 2016.1

Although potential profits in the mobile gaming industry are enormous, individual game developers and publishers face numerous obstacles to successfully growing their app share. In fact, 80 percent of all developers don't produce enough revenues to support a business and 60 percent can't even earn enough to recoup their development costs2 because...

New user acquisition costs averaged $1.30 per player in March 2012, up a whopping 14 percent just from January, when the price was $1.14 per new player.3
As the field becomes ever more crowded and the competition fiercer, the average revenue per game is only $5,882.4
With the fragmentation of media inhibiting the effectiveness of most marketing, the reality is that more than half of all gamers learn about new mobile games from friends and family.5

Yet the biggest dilemma for developers is that existing social media is too cumbersome to capitalize on user game preferences and the social mobile gaming phenomena. Even with social media, the gamer plays in isolation because he or she has no way of inviting others from their mobile device to join them in play without entering a labyrinth of different hosts and servers such as Facebook and Twitter.

What if there were an inexpensive way to simplify and standardize word-of-mouth recommendations from family and friends to download and play a new mobile game?

Now there is.

Hook Mobile introduces the App Growth Engine (AGE), an invitation engine which allows mobile app and game developers to acquire new users and grow market share at staggering rates by shifting the promotion of their app to their most reliable and ardent partners -- their satisfied current users.

AGE enables gamers to invite family, friends and colleagues to join them in play with just a single tap and without ever having to log onto Facebook or Twitter. By sending invitations from within the app, AGE converts active users into diehard word-of-mouth marketers for the app, thereby slashing new player acquisition costs to pennies per user for mobile developers and game publishers.

Hook Mobile is releasing its most advanced AGE software development kit (SDK) for iOS -- the platform giant that dominates 84 percent of the revenue from mobile games.6 The ready-to-go new iOS plug-in makes app discoverability and invitations even easier for both developers and users.

Hook Mobile is also launching an AGE SDK for Android to allow developers to take advantage of the more than 300 million Android devices activated to date.6

"Do you ever wish that there was a better way to tell someone about an app?" said Terry Hsiao, CEO of Hook Mobile. "Sharing an app via SMS to your friends has reach, relevance and social context. It is a win-win for developers and users."

With AGE, Hook Mobile delivers the most innovative technological version of a primordial biological imperative: grow and flourish or shrivel up and die. With AGE, the choice for developers and users alike is pure natural selection.
