Big Bang Mini Announced; Fireworks-Themed Shooter To Bring Explosive Action to Handheld

Wednesday 19th March/…  SouthPeak Games today announced another title for its 2008 Nintendo DS™ line-up, in the form of fireworks-based shooter Big Bang Mini.

Miss and you’ll be forced to tackle another challenge – avoiding falling sparks created by your missed explosions. The end of each level comes with a unique opportunity for would-be fireworks designers to make the ‘Final Bouquet’ – a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that will proclaim your victory.

Ghostlight announces game collaboration with Gold Medal winner, Mary King

Bishops Stortford – March 19th, 2008 – Ghostlight Ltd., Up-and-coming publisher Ghostlight is pleased to announce MARY KING’S RIDING SCHOOL, a virtual horse riding game developed exclusively for the Nintendo DS™.

The game, which launches this May in the UK, opens the stable doors on one of the most aspirational riding schools of the equestrian world.

Taking part in international events across the globe, riders will need to master the three major equestrian disciplines; dressage, cross-country and show jumping.

Standards are impeccably high at Mary King’s Riding School, but help is on hand as Mary teaches players the fine art of manoeuvring and jumping their horse using the intuitive Nintendo DS control system. As players progress they’ll be able to enter international three-day events in six different countries, winning trophies and spending the prize money on clothes, accessories and horses.
