Herotopia offers a fun, vibrant, and safe environment for kids to play, socialize and live out their superhero dreams.

With today’s launch, Herotopia unveils a new Mission System, giving players more than 75 challenging quests to complete and five new mini-games, including daily Power Puzzles that test their creativeness, skill and knowledge of the world around them.

Recipient of the NAPPA Gold Award from the National Parenting Publications Awards, Herotopia offers kids a rich and engaging world for them to become their ultimate Superheroes. Traveling to real-world locations such as New York, the North Pole, Beijing and Paris, kids visit iconic destinations from the Eiffel Tower to Rockefeller Plaza, completing quests, games and adventures along the way.  In addition to global travels and the action-packed mini-games, every new Superhero also has their own Secret Hideout, a fully customizable hero base where they can meet with their in-game friends.

Mark Gerhard, CEO at Jagex, commented: “Herotopia offers a fantastically rich and fun experience which we know will appeal to the superhero in everyone. Herotopia is our first under 12 title and, with today’s substantial update making Herotopia even more compelling, we are certain that the game has what it takes to be a huge hit with kids all over the world.”

Caryn and Wade Teman, joint CEO’s of Herotainment said:  “When creating Herotopia, we as parents ourselves wanted to empower kids to be their own heroes and to get something more out of playing an online game than just a high score. The content update launched today is our largest to date and we are very excited to be teaming up with Jagex to make Herotopia the leading virtual world for children everywhere.”

Herotopia is accessible to play for free on almost any internet enabled computer. An All-Access Superhero membership option is available for a small monthly fee, offering special features and privileges on top of the free game. These include the opportunity to buy accessories for the player’s Secret Hideout, adopt an Orangutan Sidekick, acquire multiple Superpowers and Super Vehicles to travel around this exciting world as well as the ability to unlock and visit to the special imaginary location, Herotopia Island. An All-Access membership costs from $5.95 a month, a portion of which will be donated to children’s charities, voted on by the Herotopia community.

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.

Press Release Follows:
El Segundo, Calif.-June 3rd, 2010-OGPlanet, the global leader in multiplayer free-to-play online entertainment, today announced that its newest game Hockey Dash has gone into open beta test and will launch throughout North America on June 9th, 2010. Hockey Dash blends the strategy of ice hockey with the breathtaking pace of street hockey for an adrenaline-fueled competition that takes skill and smarts to succeed.

“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.”

As in ice hockey, Hockey Dash players must expose the opponents’ weak spots to land the puck in the goal, but because the game uses real street hockey skating physics, players must master dexterous and agile movements to be successful. Hockey Dash rules are simplified and gameplay focuses on teamwork and heavy contact moves so even newcomers can jump in and have a blast, while more experienced players can sharpen their strategies to create an edge.

In match mode, players may freely create teams with other users against other user-created teams or against AI NPC teams. Single player modes feature mini-games and missions with leader boards to earn in-game currency and purchase items and skills. As with all OGPlanet games, community activities such as league matches and tournaments encourage a high level of achievement and glory.

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.

NEW YORK, NY/LONDON, UK (August 4, 2009)  5.30am PST – Lifetime Digital Media, the ultimate digital source for women’s entertainment, escape and play, and King.com (http://www.king.com), the world’s largest skill games company, today announced a major alliance in which King.com will become the exclusive provider of co-branded online games to Lifetime’s flagship digital destination, myLifetime.com.

The partnership will enable Lifetime’s digital audience to play King.com’s award-winning games on myLifetime.com, beginning later this month.  King.com’s games are currently enjoyed by more than 17.5 million users – the majority of whom are women – each month.  The agreement further strengthens Lifetime Digital’s expansive collection of hundreds of downloadable and online games for women, placing it among the top 25 online casual gaming destinations in several key metrics.  More than 3.6 million women visit Lifetime’s online properties – including myLifetime.com, DressUpChallenge.com, LMN.tv, LifetimeMoms.com and MothersClick.com – monthly (source: May 2009; ComScore Media Metrix).

“Partnering with King.com allows us to engage and entertain Lifetime Digital’s audience in even more compelling ways, and will ensure we continue providing our consumers with the very best game experiences online,” said Clayton Rose, Senior Vice President, Digital Properties at Lifetime Networks.

“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.”

Lifetime Digital’s other gaming platforms include Roiworld.com, one of the leading brands in the casual gaming business, which mixes “casual” virtual worlds, user-generated content and social networking with fashion, and DressUpChallenge.com, the online escape for women to explore their inner “fashionista” and creativity, and to bond with other likeminded women.

In addition to its online games portfolio, myLifetime.com features entertainment and lifestyle content on beauty & style, celebrities, relationships, holidays, shopping, sweepstakes and astrology, and extensive community and public affairs sections.  The site also features the original broadband video series Mommy Madness and Street Doctors, as well as more than 500 exclusive broadband video clips for Lifetime’s highly-anticipated unscripted series Project Runway and its all-new companion show Models of the Runway, both premiering August 20.

Players get a taste of farming. All of the in-game money earned can then be spent on newer equipment, land, seeds and new production facilities and other such things. The more money players can earn, the better equipment they can buy. Of course, better equipment leads to a better process, which in turn leads to more money. It probably won’t be that easy, though.

If you are into online community games or business simulation games, check out Dream Farm.

The users have ultimate control over their worlds. The world editor is pretty intense. You can add all sorts of shapes, trees and even raise and lower the terrain. The other nice feature is users can use pictures they have on their harddrive or they found on the internet. Players can use a URL and get the picture to their world that way. It is an interesting concept that adds a lot of possibilities to the world building.

Players do not automatically have money to build anything they want, though. Players have to earn money by visiting other players worlds and interacting with other players. There is a central hub where everyone can meet and hang out. The more people you interact with the more money you gain and players can gain levels as well.

Metaplace offers hours and maybe even days of building enjoyment for the person that likes to build virtual worlds and interact virtually with other people. There are resemblances to Second Life, but more focused on building and designing your world. The world is an ever living thing and can always be added to and changed. Some users have intense worlds and I am sure have spent a lot of time fine tuning the worlds.

If Metaplace sounds like a virtual place you want to check out, you can do that! The folks at Metaplace were nice enough to pass along beta keys. The beta keys will be good for a week and will allow you to find out for yourself the unique idea that is Metaplace.

Head over to Metaplace and enter the key MPCGC in the redeem your invite key box. The key is only good for a week and for the first 100 people so don’t wait.

Players can join the site for free and earn tokens. The more you play the more tokens you earn. Players get tokens for signing up. The tokens can be used to unlock accessories or locked games, such as the 5 player version of Tetris. The accessories are enhancements to the playing experience, such as new designs.

Tetris Marathon mode has players attempting to last through 15 levels. Each time you clear a line from the board you get closer to getting to the next level. Each level brings faster game play and more strategy. The player can see the next four items that will come, but it is not always easy to fit those items in. Players need to plan ahead and strategize to be able to last through all 15 levels.

Tetris Sprint mode challenges players to clear forty lines as fast as they can. The goal is to clear the forty lines as fast as you can and the rate the blocks fall stays constant the entire time. Players can use the down arrow to get the blocks to drop faster and speed up there time. Registered users can see how their time stacks up against other’s times.

Tetris Ultra mode is a mode that needs to be unlocked so players will have to save up their tokens to be able to play in this mode. The goal in this mode is to score as many points as possible in two minutes. Players have to be strategic to rack up the points and hold the top leader spot.

Tetris Sprint 5 Player mode allows up to 5 people to compete against each other in Sprint mode. Players have to be the first to clear 40 lines. Players can see a window of their opponents and how well they are doing as they are battling.

The last option is Tetris Battle 2 player mode. This mode is exactly as it sound, players battle each other for two minutes to try and be the top scorer. Every time a line is cleared by either you or your opponent the other player gets lines added to their board.

Tetrisfriends. com is an online community dedicated to Tetris fans. There are quite a few different modes to play in and even has multi-player options, which is always more fun. If you are a Tetris fan or really just like playing Tetris every now and then, check out TetrisFriends.com.

Come2Play API handles everything involved with creating multi-player games, such as managing players chats and handling buddy lists. Everything has been thought of even monetizing the game.

Come2Play even offers a testing environment to test out the game to make sure it is going to play like you want it to play.

Developers will receive $5,000 after they have achieved one million game plays as long as it is after the three month mark. Developers are able to sell ad space in their game too.

BB Tanks is a turn-based strategy tank shooter. The weapons for the tanks vary a lot. Players can equip their tanks with homing missiles, which aren’t that strange, but they can also equip the tanks with poisonous gas and water balloons.

Premium items won’t be added until the game goes live, but there will be other interesting surprises during the beta.
