Press Release
SAN DIEGO, CALIF. – Nov. 23, 2010 – Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE) today announced Wildlife Refuge, a new game playable on Facebook that immerses players in the heart of Africa as they set out on a mission to help build a refuge and care for exotic animals. In the game, players customize their own refuge as they discover new breeds and protect this habitat from poachers and other dangers that threaten their existence. Wildlife Refuge also offers players the opportunity to make a difference in real life as SOE will donate a percentage of the proceeds generated from the sale of select virtual items to the Cheetah Conservation Fund and Cheetah Kids. SOE will contribute half of the proceeds spent by players on Station CashTM to purchase a Cheetah Statue to the Cheetah Conservation Fund, and half of the proceeds from Station Cash used by players to purchase a Baby Cheetah to Cheetah Kids.*
“Wildlife Refuge has so much to offer by way of educating players about endangered animals, and we’re pleased to be able to translate that into real-life action by contributing to the Cheetah Conservation Fund and Cheetah Kids,” said John Smedley, president of SOE. “The Cheetah Conservation Fund is one of the world’s resources for protecting and ensuring a future for the cheetah, and Cheetah Kids helps educate and engage young people in understanding endangered species and their ecosystems using the cheetah as the educational ambassador. With these collaborations, we’re proud to contribute to causes while providing an engaging gaming experience.”
Playable now on Facebook (http://apps.facebook.com/wildliferefuge), Wildlife Refuge takes players on exciting adventures as they complete quests to earn special rewards. From exploring new territory and building their refuge, to sharing their animal offspring with friends, Wildlife Refuge brings all the fun of operating one’s own wildlife sanctuary to Facebook.
Wildlife Refuge is a casual, social game based on a player’s need to increase their Ecosystem Rating. Ecosystem Ratings are based on building, decorating and securing the refuge, exploring the safari, interacting with neighboring refuges and tending to the animals. Players can compile collections, buy supplies and share achievements with friends in the game.

THQ And Double Fine Productions Announce Stacking For The Playstation 3 And Xbox 360
THQ and Double Fine Productions have announced Stacking, an upcoming third-person puzzle adventure game coming to the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. You play as Charlie Blackmore, a small Russian Doll trying to bring his family back together. The Puzzles in the game will have multiple ways of completing them and the player is encouraged to find them all.

Press Release
AGOURA HILLS, Calif. – November 24, 2010 – THQ Inc. (NASDAQ: THQI) and Tim Schafer’s Double Fine Productions expect to release their second co-production in early 2011: Stacking, a third-person adventure puzzle game that makes players laugh while challenging their perception and intellect.
In Stacking, a family of Russian stacking dolls has been separated by tough economic times. The youngest doll, Charlie Blackmore, begins a heroic effort to bring his family back together. But he’s one size smaller than any other doll in the world. Game players will help Charlie, who is all too accustomed to being overlooked and dismissed – too small to be of any real consequence – discover that his size can be his greatest strength.
Created by Double Fine project lead Lee Petty, Stacking is scheduled to be available this spring as a download on Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and also on the PlayStation®Network for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.
Stacking is the second downloadable game produced by THQ and the award-winning Double Fine Productions. The adventure of Stacking requires players to capture and stack dolls together, then use each doll’s unique abilities to solve the game’s challenges. As more puzzles are solved, new dolls are acquired and the game’s visually lush, carefully constructed story unfolds.
Unlike most adventure puzzle games, every challenge in Stacking will have multiple solutions and players will be encouraged to discover them all. They’ll also discover a wide variety of new characters and side activities, which will allow them to accumulate hundreds of in-game awards.
“Stacking is distinctive in its overall cinematic look as well as its approach to puzzle solving, and we believe the game will appeal to both the casual and hardcore video game player,”
said Martin Good, Executive Vice President, THQ Kids, Family, Casual Games, and Global Online Services. “We are pleased to expand our library of digital download offerings and do so with high-quality games from the wonderfully creative team at Double Fine Productions.”
Double Fine Productions founder and CEO Tim Schafer added, “We’re really excited to be doing another game with THQ, building on the success we had with Costume Quest, and delivering another great adventure told in an entirely new way. What Lee has created with Stacking is something truly awesome – a game with a great story and puzzles, and a completely fresh method for interacting with them both.”
