"Montréal has established itself as one of the world's most important locations for video game production, and we are looking forward to taking part in that success," says Funcom CEO Trond Arne Aas. "In addition to strengthening our North American presence, the new studio will take advantage of the great incentive programs offered by the Québec region, incentives that makes Montréal one of the most cost effective locations in the world for developing MMO games. This will in turn allow us to better balance our costs, making it possible for us to continue to expand our investments into the MMO segment."

Funcom is one of the most multi-cultural game developers in the business, with over 320 employees from all corners of the world employed at the company's offices in Norway, the US, China, and Switzerland. The company is responsible for the best-selling MMO `Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures' that shipped over 1.2 million copies to retail in 2008, as well as the pioneering sci-fi MMO `Anarchy Online'. The company has developed more than 20 titles since its founding in 1993; including the critically acclaimed `The Longest Journey' and `Dreamfall' adventure games. Funcom is currently working on the expansion pack for `Age of Conan' called `Rise of the Godslayer' as well as its new MMO `The Secret World'. Developers at the Montréal studio will play an important role in the development of both of these games.

"It has been a pleasure for us to work with Investissement Québec in setting up our Montréal studio and we are very thankful for the strong support they have given us throughout this process," says Ole Schreiner, CEO of Funcom's new Montréal studio. "We are excited about the opportunity that Montréal represents to our company, not only because of the great incentives offered by Québec, but also the authorities' strong commitment to training qualified video games personnel and building a video games cluster in Montreal and Quebec."

SAN JOSE, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Sep 01, 2009 Fan-favorite Mr. Driller digs his way onto Apple’s App Store with new play modes and controls designed for the iPhone/iPod touch. Namco Networks, a leading publisher and developer of mobile, iPhone and PC games for mass-market casual gamers, today announced the upcoming worldwide availability of Mr. Driller for $.99 through Apple’s App Store.

“This fun action puzzler is the first title from the new Apple Games Group at Namco and is a good representation of the variety we’ll be bringing to the App Store,” said Jonathan Kromrey, general manager for Apple Games for Namco Networks. “We are focused on creating games for everyone. If a player is looking for a fun, quick game, we’ll have great games like Mr. Driller. If players are looking for a deeper, longer, more immersive experience, we’ll offer them that as well. All of our games will be offered at price points that reflect the gameplay experience. Mr. Driller is a great game for $.99.”

In Mr. Driller, the town has been overrun by mysterious colored blocks and it's up to Mr. Driller to get to the bottom of it. Armed with his mighty drill, Mr. Driller must drill through the blocks to find the source. The fast-paced puzzler features three game modes:

Survival Mode offers three difficulty levels.

Arcade Mode challenges players to reach the goal on 500m and 1000m levels.

Time Trial Mode pits players against the clock as they try to beat 10 different levels.

Mr. Driller has three control types: D-Pad, Swipe and Accelerometer. D-Pad is located at the bottom-left of the screen and is used to move Susumu (Mr. Driller) right and left while the drill button on the bottom-right is used to drill. Swipe allows players to swipe around the bottom-left of the screen to move Susumu while the drill button on the bottom-right is used to drill.

Accelerometer control allows players to tilt the device to the left and right to move Susumu while tapping the drill button to drill. There is also an auto-down feature that automatically moves Susumu down the screen as the blocks are broken.
