Press Release
OMAHA, Neb. --(Business Wire)-- Sep 23, 2009 A brave bear facing fatal hugs from attacking pink teddy bears has earned BATTLE BEARS™ top ranking on iTunes since its launch August 31st. The new game from CORALINE animator Benjamin Vu’s upstart production company SkyVu Pictures, offers adorable animation, a tongue-in-cheek theme and intense bear-on-bear action. BATTLE BEARS went to Top Ten Apps on iTunes in its first week. It remains the #1 Action/Adventure Game and #3 All Games despite stiff competition. The game, currently at 800,000 downloads, is expected to reach one million by the end of September.
The object of the new game: kill cuddly pink teddy bears before they commit “huggacide” with deadly embraces to OLIVER, an advanced robotic teddy bear with a lot of attitude. When OLIVER annihilates the hug-crazed bears, rainbow colored blood beams from their necks or splashes across the moving touch screen. But the homicidal teddies multiply, and each of 20 levels of play leads to more advanced battles, cut scenes and surprises featuring new weapons, including the “Bearzooka” and the powerful “Unicorn Horn Crossbow.” For a sample of the game action: http://www.battlebears.com/game/.
“It’s Care Bears meets Black Hawk Down,” says writer/director Benjamin Vu, “Next month, we’ll release new versions with more slightly demented details on our characters and storyline.”
BATTLE BEARS™ is available for 99 cents for a limited time on the iTunes App Store. Also available is a free, shorter version of BATTLE BEARS that allows players to try out the game at no charge.

Cryptic Have Revealed A New Federtaion Starship Class In Star Trek Online.
http://media3.startrekonline.com.s3.amazonaws.com/img/ships/discovery/sto_shipoftheline_discovery_092209_01.jpgCryptic have revealed a new Federation Starship Class in their upcoming MMO Star Trek Online. The Discovery Class is an evolution of the Intrepid Class of which U.S.S Voyager is the most well known vessel. the vessel is designed for "long exploration missions"1, "fleet support or solo patrol vessel"2.
Like the Intrepid class, The Discovery Class features Variable-Geometry Pylons which are designed to improve engine efficiency. a new addition are the class's Warp Foils. these are designed to improve stability during high Warp or whilst the ship is using Transwarp Conduits. these Foils are being studied as to whether they will be added to other classes in the future.
The Class is not the most powerful in the fleet, but it makes up for this by having "...sensor arrays are state-of-the-art and can identify weaknesses in enemy ships, locate and track vessels or even detect some cloaked ships."3 it also have other improvements like an improved Tractor Beam and Deflector Array.
The vessels are equipped with Holoemitters throughout the ship, and feature the Astrometrics that the original Intrepid class U.S.S Voyager created.
