Grab your tablets and smartphones and get ready for gaming, as 2K Play
today announced that their innovative new slate of mobile games will be
unveiled at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2012, taking place at
the Los Angeles Convention Center from June 5-7. The games are designed
to deliver a play-anywhere-play-anytime social experience and will be
available beginning this summer for mobile devices.
“From our blockbuster Carnival Games series to our
exciting new original properties like Herd, Herd, Herd, to
our election year tie-in with Comedy Central, we’re thrilled to
introduce a lineup of games that are with you wherever you go,” said
Steve Lux, Vice President of Business Development for 2K Play. “Gamers
will have fun in short doses, long stretches and everything in between
with the convenience of playing on the world’s most popular mobile
devices.”
2K Play’s mobile lineup includes the following titles:
- Comedy Central’s Indecision Game – Who’s smarter,
Democrats or Republicans? Whichever side of the aisle you lean toward,
you'll need all your political savvy to survive the 2012 election
season. Play this fast-paced battle of wits to test your knowledge of
the powers that be (or might have been) and never “misunderestimate”
your competition.
- Fiasco the Cat™ Starring in House Pest™ – Meet Fiasco,
the mischievous cat who will turn your house upside down in no time.
Race against the clock to fix Fiasco’s latest disaster before your
nosey neighbor or manic mother-in-law arrives! Hilarious hijinks and
state-of-the-art animation put this game into a fun cat-e-gory of
its own.
- GridBlock™: The Puzzle Game You’ll Flip Over! – You’ll
need smooth moves and a steely reserve as you flip, tilt, slide and
shake electro-blocks into place on the GridBlock board – replete with
obstacles and bright techno colors. Teleport through gravity-defying
levels, maneuver around mind-numbing mazes and don’t get sucked into
the black hole!
- Herd, Herd, Herd™ - It’s pen-demonium at the Haywire
Homestead! Help Farmer Jed herd clucking chickens, panicky pigs,
spunky sheep and crazy cows into their pens before time runs out. As
you progress, keep your eyes peeled for the sly fox and don’t catch
chicken pox!
- Carnival Games® MiniGolf - You may have played golf
before but you’ve never played anything like Carnival Games MiniGolf.
If you’re ready to journey back to Medieval Times, have a shootout in
the Wild West and walk the plank in Pirate’s Delight – all for the
sake of sinking a putt – then step right up for a hole-in-fun!
