OGPlanet announced Hockey Dash has entered open beta. Hockey Dash is a free to play online game that is a combination between street hockey and ice hockey. The strategy is taken from ice hockey, while the fast pace action is taken from street hockey.

Players attempt to score on their opponents by finding the weakness in their defense and getting the puck into the goal. It is easier to say than do, though, considering the game uses street hockey physics. Players have to master the movement of street hockey to be able to score on their opponents. Hockey Dash has simplified the rules of hockey so anyone can jump into the game and have fun while playing.

“OGPlanet has found success with gameplay styles that most companies don’t think are suited to online play, like Rumble Fighter,” said Sangchul Park, CEO of OGPlanet. “We think we’ve got another winner with Hockey Dash. Its fast pace and unique game mechanics make for a very high-energy, fun multiplayer experience.”

If you like hockey style sports games, check out Hockey Dash.

Lifetime Digital Media and King.com announced a deal that has King.com exclusively providing co-branded online games for myLifetime.com. All this means that players on myLifetime.com will be able to play King.com games. The games will start appearing later in August.

The agreement is a good fit for both companies. Lifetime has been known as a place for women. The movies they play on the TV station are mostly aimed at women and the myLifetime site is geared towards women. The majority of the gamers on King.com are women, as well. Both entities have a following of the same audience, so it makes sense to combine powers and get an even better site.

“We are delighted to be working with Lifetime Digital, as there are unparalleled synergies between both of our audiences, which will provide many opportunities,” said Robert Norton, Managing Director, King.com, North America.  “With the leading women’s entertainment brand and the leading provider of online skill games for women joining forces, there are now even more ways for the Lifetime audience to connect, play and share.  This partnership is further proof that King is seen as the partner of choice for the world’s leading entertainment companies.
