Undead Labs, the premier developer of online world games for console gamers, announced today development of an original zombie-survival franchise in collaboration with Microsoft Corp. Developed by Undead Labs and published by Microsoft Game Studios, the inaugural title will be an open world zombie-survival game scheduled to launch on Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360? video game system from Microsoft.

?Undead Labs is thrilled to work directly with Microsoft to bring Xbox 360 players an outstanding zombie-survival franchise,? said Jeff Strain, founder of Undead Labs. ?Our mission is to create original online games that truly feel at home on the console platform, and Xbox 360 is a fantastic platform for online console gaming. We plan to create an ambitious open world XBLA game and use its gameplay, setting, and technology as the foundation for a full online world game.?

Code-named ?Class3?, the Xbox LIVE Arcade game is designed to let zombie fans answer the ultimate question: What would you do in the face of the zombie apocalypse? The end is here. Human civilization has been annihilated. The few, scattered survivors must band together, rebuilding civilization in a third- person action game packed with sweet guns, fast cars, hand-to-hand combat, and copious amounts of zombie gore. Players choose where to make their stand, designing and fortifying their settlements, performing daring raids for valuable stores of food and ammunition, and rescuing other playable survivors. The open world develops in real-time, shaped by player actions, with content determined by their choices and the ever-increasing zombie threat.

?We are proud to collaborate with Undead Labs on the creation of a new game for Xbox 360,? said Matt Booty, General Manager of Microsoft Game Studios. ?The Undead Labs team has a successful track record making innovative online games, and we are excited to support them as they bring their experience and talent to Xbox LIVE.?

The game is currently under development by Undead Labs? veteran, zombie-loving studio team and additional details will be released throughout the development cycle. For more information, visit undeadlabs.com.

Perth, Western Australia (PRWEB) July 11, 2005

Hypebox360.com is a new parody site that offers a humorous look at the much-hyped unveiling of Xbox 360, the successor of Microsoft?s Xbox video games console. The site’s hilarious content is based on promotional material that has surfaced since the glitzy Xbox 360 reveal show on MTV. Hypebox360.com features video stills taken from Xbox 360 promotional clips, showing various keyplayers from Microsoft?s Xbox 360 development departments. The video stills are arranged as slideshows, and captions are used to put humorous words and quips in the mouths of those depicted, with amusing results.

The creative force behind the cheeky parody is Cherry Internet Services (?CIS?), publishers of a range of video game related web sites. CIS’ Creative Director Markus Weichselbaum names the Xbox 360 MTV Special as his source of inspiration. ?The MTV show was a slick, stage-managed production chockful of celebrities, gimmickry and marketing hype. The promotional clips that followed, showing Microsoft staff excitedly discussing the Xbox 360, turned out to be a goldmine for parody.? Weichselbaum is quick to point out, however, that there is no malicious intent behind the creation of http://www.hypebox360.com. ?Hypebox 360 is purely tongue-in-cheek, intended to make people laugh with video game related humor. We’re not trying to make fun of anyone nor are we anti-Xbox – in fact, when the Xbox 360 console hits the shelves, we?ll be among the first to buy it!”

The parody site currently comprises an ever-growing number of interactive slideshows ranked by amusement value. Visitors can directly influence the ranking by rating their favorite slideshows as well as leave comments and discuss their opinions with others. A future feature of http://www.hypebox360.com will allow visitors to create and caption their own slideshows.

Hypebox360.com began life as a couple of comedy slideshows posted on http://www.ps3focus.com, a video games news site operated by CIS that reports on the next generation of video game consoles, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Revolution. Initial attempts to publicize the slideshows among the online gaming community produced varied results, as some site administrators couldn?t quite see the funny side: a leading Xbox site removed the post from their discussion boards within ten seconds, and a Playstation 3 forum site immediately locked the post to avert the eruption of a flame war. Further posts on other forums generated considerable interest among gamers, leading the CIS team to place a collection of their funny creations on a site in its own right – thus http://www.hypebox360.com was born.

The new site is designed to appeal not only to PS3 fans eager to see the Xbox 360 brought down a notch, but to anyone who can appreciate a humorous look at the hype surrounding the release of new video game consoles. No one is safe from a little harmless teasing, says Weichselbaum. ?Nintendo and Sony have only been spared our gag attempts by virtue of the low-key presentations of their new consoles. We look forward to receiving material related to the Sony Playstation 3 and Nintendo Revolution to even up the score.”

Plano, TX (PRWEB) September 1, 2009

As one of the leading consumer brands to successfully cross over into the world of video games, Doritos tortilla chips — a flagship snack brand within PepsiCo’s Frito-Lay division — today announced it will once again offer the creative opportunity of a lifetime to video game lovers with the chance to design a new Xbox LIVE? Arcade game. Today marks the return of “Unlock Xbox”, a ground-breaking video game design contest that puts the creative control to design an Xbox LIVE Arcade game in consumers’ hands.

The Unlock Xbox contest, which is driven by a collaboration between the Doritos brand and Microsoft, originated in 2007 and led to the creation of the record-breaking “Doritos Dash of Destruction”, the first consumer-created Xbox LIVE Arcade game, which went on to become the fastest Xbox LIVE Arcade game to reach one million downloads.

Now, people in the United States are invited to submit game concepts that embody the big, bold and intense spirit of the Doritos brand, for the chance to have their idea developed into an Xbox LIVE Arcade game for the Xbox 360. Fans can review the submission terms and enter their ideas via video submission through October 4, 2009 at http://www.unlockxbox.com.

“We are always looking for new ways to connect with fans and give them unique opportunities to express their creativity in a way only Doritos and our partners can deliver,” said Ann Mukherjee, group vice president, marketing, Frito-Lay. “Many of the people who love Doritos also love gaming, and this innovative program gives our fans a chance to live their dreams.”

Ten quarter-finalists, which will be chosen by the Doritos brand and Xbox 360 and announced by Xbox’s Major Nelson, will embark on the journey of a lifetime as they compete to transform their game concept into a reality. From in-person pitch meetings at Microsoft Game Studios with the “Godfathers of Gaming” including Kudo Tsunoda, to an online voting round, gamers will get to experience the incredible process of bringing an Xbox LIVE Arcade game to life. Ultimately, two will be developed into Xbox LIVE Arcade games available for download in fall 2010, with one fan-selected grand prize winner scoring a $ 50,000 gaming consultant project for Doritos.

“By bringing their brand to the Xbox LIVE audience, Doritos has the opportunity to reach a subscriber base of more than 20 million.” said Mark Kroese, general manager of Microsoft’s Entertainment & Devices Advertising Business Group. “The first ‘Doritos Dash of Destruction’ game was a record breaker in terms of first week downloads. We’re excited to see what this round of creativity brings.”

Giving video game fans and Doritos chip-lovers everywhere even more reason to get in the game, between November 29, 2009 and December 31, 2009, visitors to http://www.unlockxbox.com will have a chance to instantly win great prizes as they log on to cast their vote among the finalists. Promotion details and rules will be available on http://www.unlockxbox.com during the promotion period.

Further supporting its commitment to gaming fans, the Doritos brand also is announcing a partnership to bring pro football’s combine concept to the competitive video game world. The Doritos MLG Skills Combine will be a nationwide, multi-day competition where amateur players are put through their paces by MLG League officials and pros, with an eye towards evaluating their potential for participation in the MLG Pro Circuit.
