Beleaguered Playlogic relaunches company, focusing on digital releases
Caught in the grip of bankruptcy earlier this year, Dutch publisher Playlogic -- known for its Obscure survival horror title and the poorly received Fairytale Fights -- has announced plans to "restart" its business under a "newly formed" company. Confusingly, the new company has been named Playlogic Entertainment NV -- and, further confusing the matter, it's not associated with the U.S. listed company Playlogic Entertainment Inc. ... Okay! Nevertheless, the new Playlogic Ent. plans to rehire some of its former staff next year and will "mainly focus on digital video game publishing for Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony platforms worldwide." The company also plans to partner with a "foreign subsidiary" to gamble on "games of chance" for the online market and mobile devices, and is currently negotiating the acquisition of another company working in this market. Sounds like a logical play, right?
Fairytale Fights DLC free for first 90 days with online registration
Playlogic Entertainment's Fairytale Fights may have just been released today in North America, but the game's developer is wasting no time at all in kinda, sorta announcing the first downloadable content. We say "kinda, sorta" because the promised four "new playable characters" and three "new PvP arenas" aren't detailed whatsoever in the press release. Instead, Playlogic opted to announce the DLC with the promise that those who sign up on the Fairytale Fights website will receive a code giving them free access to the digitally-distributed content. The various content is alleged to be "valued at over $15," so it would serve you wisely to snag your free code if you have any interest whatsoever in picking up a copy of the game. Hell, even if you're renting, free is free, right? And hey, at least "part of" the DLC will be exclusive to those who register online. Seems like a no-brainer to us. %Gallery-65701%

Okay, Koei and PlayLogic are new, but Crave would fall under the Gamestop definition of "new."Crave left the ESA last year, but it appears that even the trade organization didn't notice in the midst of losing Activision/Vivendi, LucasArts and id. Oh well, Crave. Allow us to welcome you back to the ESA.
