Brick-Force Voice Talent Announced<br />
Online games publisher Infernum has secured an international all-star lineup of actors who have, amongst others,<br />
fittingly voiced the cartoon hero “SpongeBob Squarepants”. The German, French, Spanish, Turkish and<br />
Polish voice acting veterans have also starred in localized versions of TV shows such as Pokémon, South Park<br />
and Scooby-Doo and will bring Brick-Force to life with their vocal energy. Infernum chose the talents of the<br />
“SpongeBob” stars to complement the playful square design of the free-to-play title - after all, the Brick-Force<br />
characters also wear square pants! The English version will feature Kerry Shale, a veteran stage and screen actor<br />
who has voiced several video game characters. Shale’s many video game voice credits include Tomb Raider:<br />
The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider Chronicles, Dog’s Life, Space Channel 5: Part 2, and Battalion Wars. Shale<br />
has provided more voices for more video games than any other actor and more voices in a single video game<br />
than any other actor. Still in closed beta, Brick-Force has now exceeded 500,000 registered users and has been<br />
localized in six different languages.<br />
inXile launches Solitaire + Friends<br />
InXile entertainment confirmed that their latest game, Solitaire + Friends, is now available for free in the iTunes<br />
store. Solitaire + Friends is the first solitaire game for iOS that has a social gaming element which allows you to<br />
challenge your friends. After winning a game on your own, you send the same deck to a friend to see if they can<br />
beat both the deck and your high score.<br />
InXile President, Matt Findley, had this to say: “We have had tremendous achievements in experimenting<br />
with small projects for iOS, both in sales and critical success. Our average rating across all our titles exceeds<br />
4 out of 5 stars, and currently Solitaire + Friends is following suit.”<br />
“With the huge success of push-notification social games, like “Words with Friends”, “Draw Something”<br />
and “Dice with Buddies,” we thought it was time to bring these social features to one of the most popular<br />
game categories on the app store: Solitaire,” said Matt Findley. InXile has been committed to bringing fun<br />
casual games to iOS for years, and Solitaire + Friends is our next step towards the goal of a truly social casual<br />
gaming experience.<br />
Also enjoyable as a single-player game, Solitaire + Friends stands apart with its stylized graphics and<br />
polished interface—including a<br />
handy swipe gesture for easily<br />
sending cards to their piles.<br />
Infusing the social element of<br />
sharing and competing with<br />
friends or random opponents<br />
through Game Center, Facebook<br />
or email, Solitaire + Friends<br />
adds a whole new dimension of<br />
fun to a classic game.<br />
