Press for Big Fish Games

With its original and striking artwork, puzzles and musical score, Drawn®: Dark Flight from Big Fish Games Studios is setting a new standard for adventure games. Available today, the second episode of the cinematic Drawn series will entertain both fans of classic adventure games and new audiences alike as they embark on a journey through the painted kingdom of Stonebriar. Drawn: Dark Flight is launching simultaneously online for both PC and Mac and in retail at Wal-Mart, in ten languages – an industry first for casual gaming.

It’s a big day when Big Fish Games, a leading distributor of download games, announces changes to their pricing. In a nutshell, the price for Collector’s Editions is going down for Club Members and the price of Standard Games is going up for Non-Club Members (the details as reported in our news article from last night).

What a difference a year makes. Last year at Casual Connect in Seattle, everyone was planning to strike it rich making a casual game for Facebook or the iPhone.  Fast forward a year, and now, no one is quite so sure. It’s not all gloom and doom in the casual games space, but there is not a whole lot of excitement either.

Seattle-based casual games developer Big Fish Games said this week that it has released a new, iPad version of Everest: Hidden Expedition. The firm said the title--its first for the iPhone--has been "digitally re-mastered" with the original art from the high-resolution version of the PC game. The newly released game is available as Everest: Hidden Expedition HD, and retails for $6.99 on Apple's App Store.
