Halfbrick

Today is an awesome new step for Barry Steakfries, hero of time and slayer of zombies! We have now released our awesome Age of Zombies, voted Best Playstation Mini of 2010, to the new Sony Ericsson Xperia Play!

This release includes all of the zombie-blasting action found in the current smartphone versions, but is an absolute dream to control with the Playstation Certified controls, including the two touch-sensitive thumbpads. As a dual-stick shooter, AOZ fits the Xperia controls perfecly and is a prime example on how to use the new hardware to its best abilities. We’ve put together a handy preview video above to show you a little bit about the Xperia Play and how AOZ works in action.

AOZ is currently available on the Android Market as an exclusive to Xperia Play, which means at this time it won’t function with other Android smartphones. However, in just a few short weeks we will have the full game up and running on the market on as many devices as possible, so stay tuned for all the latest AOZ news!

Today Halfbrick can officially announce the full worldwide release of Raskulls on Xbox Live Arcade for 800 Microsoft Points! Announced in 2009, Raskulls has been in the works receiving extra doses of polish, humor and fun – and today everyone can get in on the action!

Raskulls combines platforming, action and racing all wrapped up in a fantastic art style featuring the Raskulls themselves – adorable yet very cheeky little guys! With the epic single player Mega Quest, unlockable characters for Grand Prix and both local and online multiplayer, Raskulls is a massive package full of awesome content.

Mega Quest stars King, Dragon and Ninja as they travel across the world to thwart the evil Pirats in their attempts to steal the legendary Shiny Stone. Including racing, puzzle, action and even boss levels, players can unlock Medallions and new playable characters, along with official Xbox Live Achievements!

Multiplayer features 16 levels in which players race their way to the finish line in both online and split-screen games. Use items like Flame Charge, Thunder Staff and even the awesome Mega Zap to decimate your fellow Raskulls and take the crown.

As part of the Game for the Holidays promotion on Xbox Live, Raskulls can be used to get access to ilomilo before release next week, and players can also unlock awesome new playable characters by downloading and unlocking an Achievement in World of Keflings and ilomilo.

It has been a long time coming, but everyone at Halfbrick couldn’t be more proud to finally release our very first XBLA and major console game!
