(08/23/2004) – G3 Studios, a premier developer and publisher of video games for cell phones, handheld devices, Pocket PC and other platforms, and High Energy Magic, a UK-based developer of mobile entertainment, have signed an exclusive publishing agreement. Under this agreement, G3 Studios intends to globally publish and distribute "SAS: Commando", a gripping infiltration-style action game, for Brew cell phones. Using High Energy Magic’s revamped “Transcend” engine technology the game allows for more furious action, more animation, more sprites and smoother gameplay than ever before, even on lower-end phones. As part of the agreement, G3 Studios will create the port of the game for Brew handsets and place the game with Brew carriers around the world.
"After successfully working together on “Cleopatra,” we feel that High Energy Magic are creating some of the best games for the cell phone market and we are proud to be part of the magic once again," said Guido Henkel, CEO of G3 Studios. “SAS: Commando once again pushes the envelope for mobile games and will make a great addition to our catalog.”
"Following the critical success of our first collaboration, “Cleopatra,” we
are delighted to be working with G3 Studios once again to bring SAS Commando to BREW handsets," Eben Upton, Technical Director of High Energy Magic adds.
