Tuesday 13th January/… Bruce Springsteen will make his videogame debut on January 27, 2009, with two downloadable songs available exclusively in Activision Publishing, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: ATVI) Guitar Hero® World Tour.
Coinciding with the release of his new album, Working on a Dream (Columbia Records), the two-song Track Pack will be available for download simultaneously with the album’s release on January 27, 2009. The Track Pack, which features the iconic Springsteen song “Born to Run” and “My Lucky Day,” a brand-new track off his new album, Working on a Dream, will be free to download during the first week of the album’s release.
“Bruce Springsteen has been a defining force in Rock ‘n Roll and we are incredibly excited to have him make his video game debut with Guitar Hero World Tour,” said Robert Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard.

San Francisco, Calif., Jan. 13, 2008 – Mastiff, a worldwide publisher of videogames and Renegade Kid, developer of innovative interactive software, today announced that the highly anticipated first-person shooter (FPS) Moon for Nintendo DS™ has shipped to stores nationwide.
Developed by Renegade Kid, Moon is a story-driven sci-fi, action-adventure title for Nintendo DS™. Moon places gamers on the cold lunar surface in the year 2058 where researchers are shocked to find a sealed, alien hatch during construction of a new lunar base. However, it is a shock that soon pales in comparison to what they find beyond the hatch.
“Moon has come a long way since its initial unveiling as ‘Project M’ and we couldn’t be happier with the end result,” said Bill Swartz, Head Woof of Mastiff. “It was a labor of love and we hope that players enjoy its gripping story and fast-paced gameplay as much as we do.”
CHICAGO, IL – January 13, 2009 – BringIt LLC, an online destination where video gamers can put up money to challenge other players to matches, play their favorite games, and earn prize money by winning, today unveiled a host of new features and programs that have recently been implemented into the site. Newly added features include multiplayer tournaments, an auto score reporting system, and a referral program that benefits members who drive friends to register. BringIt is live and in open beta at www.BringIt.com, with all functionality fully operational.
“BringIt has really come into its own since we opened the doors last fall,” says Woodrow “Woody” Levin, founder of BringIt. “We’ve had great initial response from gamers signing up, taking an active role with the service and providing invaluable community feedback so we’re confident the new features will be well received.”
The highly anticipated addition of multiplayer tournaments to BringIt lets skilled players increase their level of competitiveness and play for even higher prize money than a typical “head to head” match up, while still putting up the same entry fee. Currently, NCAA Bracket Style Tournaments are open and underway for Madden NFL 09, FIFA 09, NHL 09, Call of Duty 4: Modern Combat, and Call of Duty: World at War console games with more titles being added in the near future. Additionally, BringIt recently incorporated a new auto score reporting (ASR) system. The ASR automatically syncs up your end of game stats with BringIt’s challenge system and eliminates the need to self report the outcome. Members will now automatically get credit for the challenge they played, and this proprietary system will help to ensure fair game play in a fun, safe, secure environment.
