Industry-leading technology providers to explore connected lifestyle projects in Peachtree City, GA test community
DETROIT, June 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* and Panasonic Automotive Systems Company of America have formed a working agreement to explore and test connectivity solutions for consumers and commuters.
The new project provides a framework for the two companies to create customized products for global automotive manufacturers in North America. Initial concept testing for interfaces between in-car infotainment systems and emerging mobile devices will begin in late 2011, in the Peachtree City testing community. AT&T will provide network services and Panasonic Automotive Systems Company will supply the hardware and integration services. Financial terms of the agreement are not being disclosed.
"As today's drivers spend increasing amounts of time on the road, they continue to seek vehicles that complement their 'always-on', hyper-mobile lifestyles," said Steve Deguchi, President of Panasonic Automotive Systems Company of America. "Automakers that successfully make vehicles that deliver smart, personalized services to drivers on demand have a tremendous opportunity to stand out from the competition. The most appealing vehicles will be those that serve as yet another node in a driver's existing network of devices."
By creating in Peachtree City, a connected model city, fully open to automotive manufacturers, technology providers and others in the ecosystem, the project will provide the framework to help drive innovation for the connected, in-vehicle lifestyle. Both companies will continue to pursue independent initiatives, but plan to work together on select programs in which their combined strengths and expertise will provide increased value and return to automakers and provide an enhanced connected driving experience for consumers and commuters.

Inovonics Helps Hotels Respond to Alleged Assaults With New and Innovative Wireless Safety Measures
Wireless panic devices provide hotel staff with ability to alert hotel security in emergency situations
DENVER, June 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
WHO: Mark Jarman, president
Inovonics
(http://www.inovonics.com)
Inovonics is a leader in high-performance wireless sensor
networks for commercial and life safety applications.
In the wake of two high-profile alleged sexual assaults at
New York City hotels, management officials are turning to
innovative wireless technologies to provide hotel staff with
portable emergency communications devices. Hotel chains are
now beginning to require staff to carry "panic buttons" which
will allow employees to quickly and easily alert and summon
security officials for help should an incident occur. The
panic button includes sensors that are modeled after medical
alert buttons for the elderly, allowing housekeeping and
other hotel staff to quickly alert security should the need
WHAT: arise.
Workplace safety is increasingly becoming a top priority for
both employees and employers. According to research from the
Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN) every two
minutes someone in the United States is sexually assaulted.
(http://www.rainn.org/statistics) In response, employers
are developing workplace violence protection programs, which
include the use of silent and personal alarms, the
establishment of an emergency communication system, and the
implementation of rules to protect employees from risk of
assault. Wireless pendants increasingly are popular due to
the mobility, low cost, reliability and inconspicuous
features that allow employees to alert security officials of
HOW: an incident with the simple click of a button.
With millions of wireless devices installed worldwide,
Inovonics wireless pendants are field-proven and offer the
reliability and flexibility employers need to help guard
their company's most valuable assets, their employees.
Employees are seldom stationary and often require personal
alarm pendants as they roam throughout a facility, such as a
hotel or resort area, or even into a parking lot. Inovonics
wireless security solutions have a proven history of
safeguarding employees using personal alarm pendants that are
easy to use and designed to go wherever the employee may be.
In addition to roaming panic alarms, pendants can be worn on
a necklace, belt clip, wristband, or mounted in a fixed
location.
Mr. Jarman is available to discuss the latest advancement and
trends regarding wireless pendants for employee safety
applications.

Voxiva Launches Text2Quit(SM) to Help Smokers Quit With the Help of Their Mobile Phone
From the same company that launched Text4baby(SM), the nation's largest mobile health initiative
WASHINGTON, June 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently named one of the 50 Most Innovative Companies in the world by Fast Company, Voxiva, Inc. announced today the availability of Text2Quit(SM), a highly interactive and innovative approach to smoking cessation. Developed with The George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services, Text2Quit uses SMS/text, email and web support to help smokers quit at a higher rate than other methods alone.
Text2Quit delivers customized educational content based on the user's own quit date. It enables users to complete surveys to receive advice, play games to fight off cravings, select the best possible prescription or over-the-counter therapies as cessation aids, and collects data to help the user monitor their achievement towards their own goals. "Text2Quit offers smoking cessation support in the same way we have provided maternal and infant health information so successfully through Text4baby," said Justin Sims, Voxiva's CEO. "We are using our highly scalable mobile health platform to put this service into the hands of hundreds of thousands of smokers that otherwise would not have access to smoking cessation support."
According to Dr. Lorien Abroms, lead designer and author of the Text2Quit program and an assistant professor at The George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services, "Studies have shown that text-based smoking cessation programs have resulted in an approximate doubling of abstinence rates. Our initial tests have shown promising results, and we are now starting a larger study to examine further benefits of this program."
Text2Quit will be available through employers, health plans, and public health departments, and can be incorporated into existing wellness initiatives. Because Text2Quit works through any mobile phone via text message, it is immediately accessible to almost all of the U.S. population as compared to web-only or device specific approaches. One of the participants that quit smoking using Text2Quit said, "I liked the program because it has and continues to help me [quit smoking].I was originally motivated, but didn't really think I would actually quit."
Each year in America, according to the CDC and American Cancer Society:
-- 46 million people in the U.S. smoke (that's 20.6% of the adult
population)
-- 17 million smokers try to quit but only 1.3 million succeed
-- 443,000 people die as a result of smoking - that is 1 in 5 of all deaths
in the U.S.
-- Tobacco use costs the United States $97 billion in lost productivity and
$96 billion in healthcare costs
A recent Pew Research report shows that some 85% of adults own a cell phone and 72% use their phone to send or receive text messages. Additionally, Text2Quit is especially useful for reaching underserved communities because of the high prevalence of mobile phones vs. the internet. According to a 2010 PricewaterhouseCoopers Health Research Institute report, 79% of Medicaid beneficiaries send text messages on a regular basis.
"In addition to a huge impact on quality of life, there is a compelling return on investment in smoking cessation programs for employers, health plans, and government," said Sims. "By doubling abstinence rates, a business can expect to see a 3 to 4 fold return from Text2Quit in the first year alone."
Looking ahead, Dr. Abroms and Voxiva are working to develop additional smoking cessation resources for high-risk populations. One such program, Quit4Baby(SM), targets pregnant women who smoke and will build off of Text4baby, a service of the National Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition. Abroms said, "Approximately 13% of pregnant women in the U.S. smoke. If we can reduce the prevalence of smoking in pregnant women, even by one percent, the benefits to women, babies, and society are enormous and immediate."
Voxiva will hold a press briefing at 3 PM EDT, Wednesday, 6/8/2011
About The George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services
Established in July 1997, the School of Public Health and Health Services brought together three longstanding university programs in the schools of medicine, business, and education that we have since expanded substantially. Today, more than 1,200 students from nearly every U.S. state and more than 38 nations pursue undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral-level degrees in public health.

Eliminate WiFi Dead Spots: NETGEAR Universal WiFi Range Extender Boosts Reach of Home Networks and Is Ready in Minutes
Enjoy increased wireless coverage for video streaming, online multi-player gaming and more with the NETGEAR Universal WiFi Range Extender (WN3000RP) helping to connect devices including tablets, smartphones and Internet TVs
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- NETGEAR®, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTGR), a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and service providers, announces the easy and affordable solution for eliminating wireless dead spots at home: the new NETGEAR Universal WiFi Range Extender (WN3000RP), now available from major retailers worldwide.
A rapidly expanding constellation of Internet-enabled mobile and entertainment devices including tablets, smartphones, Blu-ray players, game consoles, laptops and televisions are connecting to WiFi networks from around the house and even outside on decks and patios. A big driver for this trend is the increasing availability of movies, TV shows and other video through online streaming. Consumers want to watch streaming video on their laptops, tablets and Internet-capable televisions, creating greater demand for strong WiFi connections.
This makes WiFi dead spots more unwelcome than ever, but the answer up to now - running an Ethernet cable through walls and ceilings to add a second wireless access point - has been inconvenient and complicated.
The NETGEAR Universal WiFi Range Extender increases the coverage of home networks by automatically repeating the wireless signal from a WiFi router or gateway.
The extender is a single, compact, self-contained white cube that plugs into any AC outlet. No new wiring is required, and setup takes only a few minutes. When paired with routers that have a "Push 'N' Connect" (WiFi Protected Setup) button, the only configuration required is simply pressing the "Push 'N' Connect" button on the router and then on the extender.
Dynamic LED indicators on the extender help find the best location for WN3000RP in the home, usually about halfway between the router and the wireless dead spot.
The extender supports 802.11b/g/n and works with all common WiFi security standards including WEP, WPA and WPA2.
"Today consumers are connecting more and more wireless mobile devices and Internet-capable TVs to their networks, from more places in the home. These devices are often used for high-bandwidth activities, such as video streaming and multi-player games, that require rock-solid WiFi connections," said Damir Skripic, Product Line Manager for Connected Entertainment at NETGEAR. "The NETGEAR Universal WiFi Range Extender makes it possible to enjoy a robust wireless connection in remote corners of the house or outdoors, in places that now have low or no WiFi signal."
Pricing and Availability
The NETGEAR Universal WiFi Range Extender (WN3000RP) is now available worldwide from major retailers - in stores and online -with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $89.99 in the United States.
NETGEAR (NASDAQGM: NTGR) is a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and service providers. For consumers, the company makes high performance, dependable and easy to use home networking, storage and digital media products to connect people with the Internet and their content and devices.

Websense Positioned as a Leader in Magic Quadrant for Secure Web Gateway
Websense also positioned as a leader in the Magic Quadrant for Content-Aware Data Loss Prevention
SAN DIEGO, June 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --In 2010, 52 percent of data-stealing attacks were conducted over the web (i) and 2011 doesn't look any safer. To stop targeted attacks and advanced persistent threats (APTs), organizations need new security strategies. Their content security needs to examine--in real time--the substance of each website and email. Traditional endpoint and network security products are no longer sufficient. That's why Websense, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBSN) developed the TRITON(TM) solution, including the Websense® Web Security Gateway. And today, Websense announced that Gartner, Inc. has positioned Websense as a leader in its recently released "Magic Quadrant for Secure Web Gateway." (ii)
"I work better and sleep better knowing that Websense Web Security Gateway is protecting my organization from known and unknown targeted attacks and APTs," said Ali Ashraf, senior systems administrator for Seedco, a Websense TRITON customer. "I am not surprised that Websense is in the Leaders Quadrant for Secure Web Gateway. My team is responsible for making sure that confidential data isn't stolen, while still empowering employees to safely use the web--including the social web--to its fullest potential. Websense TRITON is key to our success."
Vendors in the Magic Quadrant are evaluated based on their completeness of vision and ability to execute. Gartner, Inc. evaluated the Websense Web Security Gateway. Featuring embedded enterprise-class data loss prevention for web communications and real-time scanning of web content, its gateway is powered by the Websense Advanced Classification Engine (ACE). ACE beats the competition because it combines multiple advanced analytics and composite risk scoring to detect advanced malicious attacks that evade antivirus solutions.
Websense is also positioned as a leader in the "Magic Quadrant for Content-Aware Data Loss Prevention." (iii) Websense data loss prevention (DLP) solutions are tightly integrated into Websense's Web Security Gateway and Email Security Gateway, parts of the Websense TRITON solution.
TRITON offers complementary web, email, and DLP security as standalone packages with snap-in migration or all together from day one. The TRITON solution is available in enterprise-grade appliances, as cloud-based services (SaaS), or as powerful and efficient hybrids of on-premise and SaaS elements working together.
"Every day I talk to customers who can't rely on outdated legacy solutions to protect them from cybercriminals intent on stealing their valuable data," said John McCormack, president, Websense." Make no mistake - targeted attacks aren't just limited to large organizations. Cybercriminals are after any organization that has data they could profit from. We've seen criminals use multiple known and unknown vulnerabilities, target specific data types, carry out attacks over an extended period of time, and use multiple vectors to penetrate networks and steal data. Websense unified content protection is the new must-have solution to defend against modern threats and protect your data."

-- ECCO stores across the world to be provided with new in-store
audio and visual solutions by Mood Media Corporation
LONDON, June 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Shoe retailer ECCO is adding enhanced,
state-of-the-art visuals to its current in-store solutions, provided by

stores worldwide using its unique TeamCo software.
Mood Media already provides ECCO stores with a customised in-store music
channel which plays a classy mix of chilled lounge tracks, to relax
customers and entice them to stay for longer.
After seeing the visual solutions Mood Media currently provides to its
other clients, including Virgin Megastore and Yves Roches, ECCO has
asked Mood Media to add new in-store visuals to its stores. This will
form a fully integrated in-store media system called 'ECCO Media.'
Mood Media's cutting edge TeamCo software platform will ensure that all
of the in-store audio and visuals can be scheduled, managed and
broadcast from one place, allowing ECCO to have full control over the

tailored to the brand's customer demographic. As well as showcasing the
store's latest product ranges, Mood Media's creative team will
establish creative new content ideas to promote its products that
reflect the ECCO brand. This replaces ECCO's former in-store TV
channel, which did not update in line with brand promotions.
Lorne Abony, CEO and Chairman of Mood Media Corporation, said: 'Working
with an established brand like ECCO across our worldwide network is an
incredibly exciting opportunity for us.
'Developing our client relationships and adding additional media
services to our customer's in-store network is of the utmost importance
to our client centric approach.'
Peter Hansen Guldbrandt, Global Concept Manager at ECCO, said: 'We were
extremely impressed with the audio services previously provided by Mood
Media and it was therefore a natural decision to ask them to install
our new visual systems.
'We hope that being able to combine two types of in-store media will be
a fantastic way of enhancing the ECCO brand even further.'

DigiFash Mobile App - Women's Clothing Enters Mobile Commerce
See Yourself in Clothes Without Trying Them On, Now there is an App for that!
LOS ANGELES, June 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Having a little time on her hands at the carwash, Julie is busy checking herself out in the latest fashion collections of tops for this summer. Not only is she checking out the variety of styles and colors, she is also moving from one store to another. No, she's still at the carwash waiting for her car to be washed. And, yes, she's actually seeing how she looks in those trendy tops right from her iPhone! She's using Sillero Technologies' "soon to be released" Mobile App called: "DigiFash"...
Apparently Sillero Technologies has been busy creating innovative apps like this one lately. Two weeks ago they announced their upcoming Location Based Social Networking App called "LocoPing" and now "DigiFash". "We know people like apps...people like games...people like to use their down time at the carwash, in the car, waiting to be served, etc. to play games, shop for things and social network with friends on their mobile devices," said Ray Panah of Sillero Technologies. "We also know that checking yourself out in a new "Top" or "Casual Dress" is something girls would love to do on their mobile phones and tablets. Seeing how you look in that blue outfit rather than seeing it on some model or a headless mannequin can be the difference of Yay or Nay when buying something online. So we created this App with a twist of game-like experience so girls can actually use their down time to look for clothes, see how they look in them, and buy... right from their phone or tablet." This summer is going to be hot for DigiFash App. They are in the process of signing up several trendy vendors and adding them to their Mobile collection.
Fashion is expected to be one of the fastest growing sectors of online commerce and Sillero is banking on this. M and T Commerce (Mobile and Tablet Commerce), excluding Travel, doubled last year to more than $3.4 billion. (Source ABI Research) Those numbers showed a $2 billion increase from 2009. We are entering a highly innovative period for retail App-Based shopping. M and T Commerce has been fueled by massive migration of consumers to smartphones and tablets. More consumers are choosing mobile shopping over traditional online shopping. By 2015 M and T Commerce is estimated to be responsible for $163 billion dollars in sales globally. "We want a good chunk of that by introducing methods for shoppers to engage in more shopping right from their mobile device/tablets. They don't need to see themselves in the mirror before buying that top or casual dress. They can see how they look as if they were really wearing them. We are also launching the web-based version of the DigiFash tool which will help internet shoppers to have the same experience of seeing-what-they-look-in-clothes right from their computer," says Ray Panah.
Sillero Technologies is an App Development and Portfolio Company based in Costa Mesa, California. Sillero's portfolio encompasses various innovative Apps such as LocoPing Location Based Social Networking Mobile App (locoping.com), DigiFash Virtual Fashion Mobile App (digifash.com) and upcoming Anticitation Coupon Technology App (anticitation.com).

Report Criticizes DEA for Failing to Address Online Pharmacy Problem
Study identifies over 1,000 websites still selling controlled substance medicines without a valid prescription
PORTLAND, Ore., June 8, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A new report criticizes the US Drug Enforcement Administration for not doing enough about rogue online pharmacies selling addictive medications without a valid prescription requirement.
The report, issued by Internet pharmacy monitoring service LegitScript.com, analyzes the DEA's implementation of the Ryan Haight Online Pharmacy Consumer Protection Act.
The 2009 law was named after an 18-year old who died after purchasing Vicodin and Xanax over the Internet without a valid prescription. Introduced by Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the law gave the DEA new powers to fight illegal online pharmaceutical sales.
According to the report, DEA officials had filed no cases under the new law as of late 2010. The study cites senior DEA officials as stating, in late 2010, that "the Internet is (no longer) as big of a problem"...and that "(the DEA) has not found many Internet pharmacies selling controlled substances."
But the LegitScript study calls the DEA's statements into question, identifying 1,000 rogue Internet pharmacies actively promoting controlled substances without a prescription to US residents, in most cases without any age verification.
The report follows a May 2011 study by Massachusetts General Hospital that showed prescription drug abuse increasing fastest in regions with the greatest expansion in high-speed Internet access. That study argued that increased access to rogue Internet pharmacies was to blame.
LegitScript's President, John Horton, said, "We're issuing this report because the DEA continues to take the unsupportable position that the rogue Internet pharmacy is all-but-solved. Meanwhile, these Internet drug dealers continue to operate with impunity, laughing all the way to the bank. Simply put, the DEA has failed to use the tools Congress gave it to fight this problem."
The study argues that most of the illicit websites are subject to US jurisdiction. "It is entirely reasonable to ask the DEA why these websites remain online," adds the report.
Francine Haight, mother of Ryan Haight, said, "I have always had the support of DEA over the years. They fought so hard to get Ryan's bill passed, so that they would have the tools to shut down these Internet Pharmacies. But, I agree wholeheartedly, they must fight even harder to shut down the Internet drug dealers that are killing our kids and destroying families across the country."
The report is available at legitscript.com and legitscriptblog.com. More information about Ryan Haight and the law named after him is available at ryanscause.org.
LegitScript.com is the only Internet pharmacy monitoring program recognized by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy, and works with government agencies worldwide, search engines and other Internet companies to monitor online pharmaceutical sales.

The Learn It Live service launched today at the International Conference on E-learning in the Workplace (ICELW) being held at Columbia University in New York City, June 8-10.

"Learn It Live's complete e-learning marketplace platform has allowed us to effectively market to, as well as serve these individuals with a valuable interactive and live educational experience while generating additional revenue which would not be possible otherwise."
Educators can use Learn It Live to teach online the same way they do in person - with real-time interaction, multimedia presentations, open discussions and more. The Learn It Live learning management system (LMS) provides all the infrastructure educators need to offer and market courses, enroll students, process payments and conduct one-on-one sessions, group classes, seminars and conferences with learners located anywhere in the world.
"Learn It Live not only makes interactive, online education practical; it makes it profitable by enabling new revenue streams from learners outside the immediate region," said Sidney Slover, Learn It Live president. "Our initial customers are pleased at the ease with which they've extended their reach to thousands of students, coming from 28 countries and growing, that they never would have imagined reaching before."
Learn It Live offers continuing education courses in five high-demand areas:
-- Public/global health
-- Healthcare
-- Business
-- Technology
-- Sustainability
-- E-learning
Learn It Live's continuing education is currently offered by such esteemed entities as the Halle Institute at Emory University, The Technology Association of Georgia, Training Programs in Epidemiology and Public Health Interventions Network, The PAR Group, HandsOn University, the Impact Speaker Series, the Wound Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society and many more.
"The competitive marketplace has created tremendous demand among professionals for continuing education, skill-building and job retraining," said Tino Mantella, President of the Technology Association of Georgia. "Partnering with Learn It Live has enabled us to meet that demand with the largest possible student reach."

In-home Health Monitoring Now Available on Consumer Devices
LONDON, June 8, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
- Intel-GE Care Innovations(TM) Guide to Provide Virtual Care
Coordination on Hundreds of Windows 7 Devices
The Intel-GE Care Innovations(TM) Guide, providing in-home,
next-generation telehealth monitoring for a variety of populations including
the elderly and patients with chronic, long-term illness, is now available on
hundreds of Windows 7 compatible devices. This enhanced virtual care
coordination system is offered by Intel-GE Care Innovations(TM), the new
joint venture from GE and Intel, which launched this year to give people
tools to live independently, wherever they are.
The Care Innovations(TM) Guide allows carers to gather information to
help manage their patients' conditions more effectively at home while
proactively engaging patients in their own care, extending healthcare beyond
the four walls of the hospital. It can be used for video conferencing between
nurse and patient and to capture biometric data for managing illnesses
including Diabetes, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Chronic
Heart Failure (CHF).Devices running the Guide software can connect to
compatible blood pressure monitors, glucose meters, pulse oximeters, and
weight scales.
With this new offering, Care Innovations(TM) is bringing to life a new
level of virtual care that helps enable patient behavior and lifestyle change
through an interactive relationship between nurse and patient. The Guide
makes biometric data collection, interactive patient health sessions, video
conferencing capabilities, and multimedia educational content available on
hundreds of consumer devices - which gives healthcare organizations choice in
how to help their patients.
The Guide is based on over a decade of researching patients, caregivers,
and nurses, including testing to ensure that it is easy to use for those that
need it most. For example, the Guide comes with a simple blue-and-white
interface which is easy to read for the visually impaired and an alarm tone,
which is audible for the hard of hearing, to remind patients to take their
medicine or collect their biometric data.
Care Innovations is also announcing the first customer of this virtual
care platform, VIVISOL, which will be using the Guide to extend care
offerings to patients in their homes. VIVISOL is a leading European company
in the field of home care services.
Richard Rees-Davies, General Manager in EMEA for Care Innovations
comments: "Virtual care coordination on the Guide is an effective way for
patients to manage their treatment, and more importantly, it enables a
two-way dialogue between patient and their nurse so that any change in a
patient's condition can be spotted earlier."
According to Giulio Fumagalli Romario, Chairman and Managing Director of
VIVISOL: "We selected the Guide for our patients who have just received a
kidney transplant because it lets us provide them with the best possible care
in their homes. With the Guide, we can give them a solution that keeps them
connected to their care team outside of the hospital and in their own
residences, which is where they want to be."
Anne Walton, Senior Community Nurse at NHS Central Lancashire adds: "Our
patients, carers and staff have been extremely positive about the use of the
Guide and its ability to maintain and enhance relationships between care
providers and those receiving care. The video conferencing capability has
been of a great benefit in achieving this as it allows the nursing team to
actually see their patients and vice versa. In addition, the Guide has helped
us utilize our resources in a different way and supports early detection,
proactive intervention and the development of the patient's understanding of
their condition. This can only improve the care we give our patients with
long term chronic illness."
Care Innovations creates technology-based solutions that give people
confidence to live independently, wherever they are. We are a unique joint
venture between Intel Corporation and GE, based on a long history of driving
innovation, solving hard problems, and creating new markets. Today, we
deliver products and services to support current and future care models in
three core areas: disease management, independent living and assistive
technologies. Visit http://www.careinnovations.com to learn more.

UTV Ignition Games Announces Dragon's Crown for PlayStation® 3 Computer Entertainment System and PlayStation® Vita
Legendary Developer VanillaWare, Ltd. Brings Gorgeous Hand-Drawn Artistry to a Dazzling New Multiplayer Online Adventure
LOS ANGELES, June 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) Booth #5500-- Brandish your blade, dust off your grimoire, and rally your online adventuring party, as UTV Ignition Games today announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, that Dragon's Crown will release in 2012 for both the PlayStation® 3 computer entertainment system and PlayStation Vita. As the first VanillaWare-developed title to ever feature high-definition visuals, four-player cooperative onscreen action, and realtime online gameplay, Dragon's Crown heralds a true breakthrough in both scope and depth for this renowned Osaka-based developer.
Dragon's Crown thrusts you into a fantastical medieval world packed with labyrinthine dungeons to explore, vile monstrosities to smite, and nearly endless online adventure. Your mission is to dive into the dank underworld, uncovering treasure and strengthening your mettle as you unlock the secret behind the ancient dragon threatening the world. Simple, easy-to-learn controls allow anyone to dive into the fray and enjoy the breathtaking sword-and-sorcery action. In addition to long-lasting gameplay, the game also features a vast array of character customization features - with six wildly different classes to play as, raiding the catacombs for epic loot remains fresh and engaging.
Although intrepid adventurers can certainly enjoy Dragon's Crown on their own, the real excitement begins when four players team up online for a four-player cooperative mission. And don't expect the portable Dragon's Crown to be scaled back in any way: The game will offer the same fluid hand-drawn animation, blazing special effects, and haunting soundtrack on both PS3(TM) and the new PS Vita, with some special interoperability features between the two versions to be revealed at a later date.
Dragon's Crown will be showcased at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo on the show floor at Ignition's booth: 5500 in the West Hall. Contact Chrissy_Kelleher@bhimpact.com for an appointment or additional information.

UTV Ignition Games Releases El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron Demo for Xbox 360® and PlayStation®3 System
Players Can Now Experience the Same Demo Being Showcased on the E3 Show Floor In Their Own Homes Via the Xbox LIVE Arcade and PlayStation®Network
LOS ANGELES, June 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) Booth #5500 -- UTV Ignition Games today announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) that a playable demo for the stunning upcoming action title, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, is now available for download on Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PlayStation® Network for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system. The demo, which is the same version playable on the show floor at E3 this week, allows players to bring the thrill of the ultimate video game expo into their own homes and get their hands on El Shaddai before it streets on July 26 [US].
In the demo, players jump right into the game's third chapter where protagonist Enoch enters the Tower of Babel and faces Ezekiel, the first of seven Fallen Angels whose souls he must capture in order to prevent a great flood ordered by Heaven. In this level of the tower, designed by Ezekiel to express her obsession with nature, players will be immersed in an element-inspired, gorgeous and constantly moving watercolor world, and must traverse the level's fantastical 2D and 3D platforming segments. Additionally, they will be introduced to some of the game's key characters, get a further glimpse into the rich storyline and experience the simple, yet surprisingly deep combat system that will appeal to gamers on every level.
Developed by a hugely-talented, Tokyo-based team headed by the legendary Sawaki Takeyasu (Devil May Cry), El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron draws players into a rich storyline inspired by events in the Old Testament's apocryphal 'Book of Enoch.' In the game, players take on the role of Enoch and must harness his natural combat skills to master a range of powerful and Heavenly weapons under the guidance of the watchful Archangels. Through a mesmerizing combination of combat, 2D and 3D platforming, Enoch must deliver the souls of the Fallen Angels and spare the world from a great flood ordered by Heaven.
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron will be showcased at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo on the show floor at Ignition's booth: 5500 in the West Hall. Contact Chrissy_Kelleher@bhimpact.com for an appointment or additional information.
