Big Fish Games rolls out Play Instantly! cloud gaming service

Posted: 27 Nov 2011 04:30 AM PST

Casual games seem to be all the rage these days, starting off with Bejeweled on the desktop computer all those years ago, where hours upon hours of productivity were seemingly lost even though employees looked “hardworking” from behind the monitor. Well, casual gaming has certainly taken over the mainstream consciousness with the number of smartphones, portable media players like the iPod touch, and the old mainstay of portable gaming consoles such as the Nintendo 3DS and soon-to-come PlayStation Vita, all permeating every bit of our lives. If you can’t beat ‘em, why not join ‘em instead? I guess this is why Big Fish Games has introduced the first cloud gaming service for mobile devices, calling it Play Instantly! – how apt, don’t you think so?

This is the first subscription service for games in the Apple App Store, where it will enable consumers to check out dozens of premium casual games that can be accessed via interactive video streaming. Using Play Instantly!, Big Fish's casual game catalog will be on the huge electronic cloud always, where it is accessible on the iPad at first, before it is rolled out across a range of other devices and platforms sometime next year. In fact, this is not only the first cloud gaming service for mobile devices, it is also the first game subscription service that is made available over at Apple's App Store.

For those who are interested, Big Fish's Play Instantly! cloud gaming service is already available thanks to a free iPad app on Apple's App Store. This new service will sport dozens of Big Fish's premium casual games, and just to make sure you do not get bored so fast, new titles will roll out into the service each week. Big Fish hopes to increase the Play Instantly! content eventually to hit several hundred titles, and they will also explore new markets such as the Android platform, PC and Mac universes next year as well.

At press time, the service will be available for US customers, where it will expand globally to target a worldwide audience in due time. For those who are interested, you can check out Play Instantly! over at the Apple App Store here.

SteelSeries rolls out limited edition Fnatic headset and mouse

Posted: 27 Nov 2011 04:09 AM PST

When it comes to gaming, you cannot fault gamers for their seriousness in doing business – after all, the choice of hardware does matter when it comes to making the difference between the victor and the loser. Needless to say, forking out huge amounts of dough to make sure you have the best equipment to suit your playing style (there is no single “top brand” per se – really depends on the kind of gaming style you use, as well as the type of games) is always of paramount importance to serious gamers, especially for those who want to go pro. SteelSeries is one name that should not be discounted, and their latest foray into the gaming world has resulted in the Fnatic headset and mouse.

Dreamhack Winter, the world's largest digital festival and LAN party has already started, Team Fnatic, being one of the most established and recognized teams there will team up with SteelSeries to roll out the SteelSeries 7H Fnatic Limited Edition headset and SteelSeries Sensei Fnatic Limited Edition mouse. Both pieces of hardware are already readily available over at the SteelSeries Web Shop, where the Limited Edition 7H headset will boast of 50mm dynamic driver units as well as spanking new, sound isolating SNDBlock ear cushions; whereas the Limited Edition Sensei delivers award-winning technology such as its 32 bit ARM processor that will power SteelSeries' ExactTech settings and customization abilities – where everything will be magically crammed within an ambidextrous, black, orange and white Fnatic color design, not to mention sporting an illuminated Fnatic team logo so that the world will know just which gaming team you’ve been cheering on for the better part of your gaming life.

The SteelSeries 7H Fnatic Limited Edition headset will retail for $139.99/€114.99 a pop, while those who want to pick up the Limited Edition Fnatic Sensei will have to fork out $99.99/€99.99 if you are interested. Any takers?
