From Reviewers... |
|

There are groups out there whose job it is to
provide professional reviews of game products. With just a year
behind us our 3D Pool product attracted this review from the highly
respected GameSpot game review site:
|
|
"(Friday
Night 3D Pool)... does tend to make old-school pool games look...old-school.
It isn't the backgrounds so much, which feature nifty working clocks and
jukeboxes that are otherwise forgettably rendered, but it's the actual tables
and balls. Accurate, graduated shading plays a big role, as do light-reflective
balls and minute table imperfections. Ultimately, the general appearance
seems less sterile, more convincing, and grittier than games of the past..." |
|
"...Generally,
your artificially intelligent rivals behave in a fashion that harmonizes
smartly with their descriptions and skill levels. Indeed, the game works
hard to deliver distinct playing styles and diversity. In this way, Friday
Night 3D Pool stays fresh when similar games have already grown stale." |

The two Classic Compendium packs gained this
review from the GizWiki, the first wiki dedicated to the Gizmondo
handheld multimedia device:
|
|
|
"Are you a fan of the classic games?...Well
this is the game pack for you.... "
|
|
|
"...the easy 1 button controls
(D-Pad & Play is all you need to play...with the R and L buttons
letting you get to the menus) made it simple to see what you had
to do..."
|
|
|
"...All of the games in both packs
are packed with vibrant colour and detail that will make you wonder
how a board game can look so good ... As well as the graphics being
amazing the sound is brilliant as well. Well made soundtracks and
very good sound effects add amazingly to the overall atmosphere
of the game, with all of Classic Compendium Two's music being orientally
themed. The multiplayer options are very good, allowing you to play
most of the games in both packs with another person, simply by passing
the Gizmondo to and fro when its your go... "
|
|
|
"...Overall these two packs are
well worth the money. For the more adventurous gamer you may want
to sway towards the second pack; where-as a more casual gamer may
want to opt for the safer option in terms of ease and familiarity
and go for the first pack. Although either, or both, are very good
buys."

From Publishers... |
These are the guys

pleasure to work with. Congratulations & keep up the great work!" |
Ray Baun Associate Producer, Localization DreamCatcher Interactive Inc. |
"(on Chess and Bridge)
I really appreciate you and your team's efforts in seeing both projects to light. Honestly, they are two of the most solid games titles I've been involved with." |

From Competition... |
Our products are
put to the ultimate test of direct tournament competition, where there are
no kind responses! All games are competitive and the game engines that do
well do so because they are good. |
|
Our in-house program Shotest has achieved much,
as the world's strongest Western Shogi program,
coming 3rd among 60 competing programs in two years. In one of those
years Shotest missed being World Champion by
one game! In one competition, Shotest was the only program that
could beat the new world champion, and in the last competition it
retained its position as strongest Western Shogi program despite
PC failure during the tournament.
