Play V, the UK-based publishing venture co-funded by V2.Play and Playlogic, has announced that Lola and Virginia will be released for Nintendo DS on 14th November. Forming part of PlayV’s family-friendly line-up, Lola and Virginia draws on the TV series to create an open RPG set in the school where the humorous animated series takes place.

Lola and Virginia, produced by Imira Entertainment, is an animated series aimed at 6-12 year olds, telling the age-old story of rich and poor. Lola comes from an average neighbourhood and takes care of her two younger brothers whilst wearing second-hand clothes and hand-me-downs. All goes well until rich girl Virginia arrives at the school. Rich, beautiful and a hit with the boys, Virginia sparks huge envy in Lola and sets the stage for a series of clashes, strategic plots and competitions as the two girls battle for popularity.

SAN FRANCISCO – November 6, 2008 – Today Ubisoft announces that Tom Clancy’s EndWar™, the newest brand in the Tom Clancy series of video games, is now available in stores across North America. Tom Clancy’s EndWar goes beyond other war games by allowing players to use their own voice to control units, offering command of the action at the speed of thought. Available for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, Tom Clancy’s EndWar™ is the first brand-new Tom Clancy franchise since Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell® was introduced in 2001.

“By allowing players to control the game entirely with their voice, the launch of Tom Clancy’s EndWar marks a strategic shift in the way games can be played,” said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft. “Ubisoft is revolutionizing gaming with the release of EndWar and we believe it will serve as the catalyst for the success of strategy games on consoles.”

Now the fun comes full circle: The first part of the most popular animal hospital simulation sets off to the autumn season with new editions for Nintendo DS and Wii. Accompanied by this darling of the public and winner of the TOMMI-Award it’s possible now to foster & heal on the go or to get closer to the animals via Wii Remote at home.

And the winner is … When „My Animal Centre“ was stacked onto the shelves in 2006, no one could anticipate the tremendous success of the animal simulation and its exotic follow-ups. Winning the TOMMI-Award for children’s software and the Comenius Award already in the year of publication was just the beginning of a success story. In 2007 the second chapter of the top product series was awarded: „My Animal Centre in Africa“ received the coveted „GIGA-Maus“ for the best console game and ranked second at the TOMMI-Award for children’s software. Last but not least a few days ago Braingame was honoured with the „GIGA-Maus“ of the children’s jury for the down under version of its classic. Positive proof that both professionals and interested kids agree on the fact that Braingame’s original is way ahead of its fellow products. „My Animal Centre“ does not only convince through its distinctive look & feel and ever new and changing cuddly quadrupeds but first and foremost with a genuine plus of knowledge and seriousness. It is not without reason that the comprehensive knowledge section is repeatedly accoladed both by pedagogues and little fans. Finally the bestseller and showcase item for sophisticated edutainment is also available for Nintendo DS and Wii platforms.
