Growth of Downloadable Game Offerings Means
Variety, Choice for Consumers
LOS ANGELES, (Electronic Entertainment Expo), May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Game
publishers Activision Value Publishing, Brighter Child Interactive, Eidos and
WildTangent are among the latest companies to sign with Trymedia Systems, a
digital distribution technology and services provider. Trymedia and its
publisher customers are greatly increasing the variety and number of games
available for download with options like Singles: Flirt up your Life and
Apache AH-64 Air Assault among many others.
"The majority of top-tier game publishers use Trymedia for downloadable
game distribution. A large catalog of ActiveMARK game titles makes for a
great deal of consumer choice today," remarked Gabe Zichermann, Trymedia's VP
of Strategy and Communications. "When it comes to digital distribution, we
offer the strongest set of features for both the end-user and business
customer."
In addition to the above named companies, GameBubbles and WebAppsToGo.com
are also distributing game content using Trymedia's ActiveMARK technology and
via the Trymedia Distribution Network. Games and software using ActiveMARK
offer consumers the ability to easily backup content, use titles on multiple
computers and share games with friends. Shared titles revert to trial mode
creating the potential for viral revenue for the publisher and an opportunity
for the consumer to own the product upon completion of the trial. The
ActiveMARK technology suite may be used by software developers and publishers
to distribute games in both downloadable and CD/DVD formats.
In addition to Apache AH-64 Air Assault, Activision Value plans to make
Ski Resort Tycoon, Snowboarding Championships 2004, Snowboarding Park Tycoon
and Tough Trucks: Modified Monsters, among several other titles, available
through Trymedia's Distribution Network of more than 3,000 affiliates
worldwide. Brighter Child Interactive plans to add as many as 30 downloadable
children's educational titles ranging from Spy Kids and Garfield to such
trusted PBS brands as Caillou and Zoboomafo, to the Network. Eidos will
digitally distribute the M-rated game Singles: Flirt up your Life.
GameBubbles has signed on for Dice Jam, Word Jolt, Cookie Chef, Slickball,
Gravity Gems and Snowmotion. WebAppsToGo will digitally distribute 3D
Breakout and WildTangent plans to make Polar Bowler,
Blasterball 2: Revolution, Bounce Symphony and others available through
Trymedia's Distribution Network.
