Visceral Games: "Dante's Purgatory" o "Dante's Paradiso" dependen de los mandamases de EA"We sit in one building on one floor, so we're completely isolated. We work with marketing sometimes and PR sometimes, but when it comes to big business decisions -- and this works both ways -- you don't see John Riccitiello coming at me like 'You guys need to change this, you need to change that.' At the same time, we're not making the call on whether we do a sequel," Mumbach said. Whether or not the previously mentioned Purgatory and Paradiso components of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy ever come to fruition, it seems, isn't up to the folks at Visceral Games. "I'm sure that if enough people are like, 'I got 60 dollars for Purgatory or Paradiso,' then we would make that game. But I don't know. I don't get to make those decisions," Mumbach further clarified.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Mumbach had nothing but nice things to say about the hands-off approach that EA corporate has with Visceral Games, echoing sentiments expressed by EA's VP of corp comm. Jeff Brown recently. "We're in a separate building on a separate floor than what I would call 'the executives' or whatever. We basically have reviews with them -- we show them the game, they definitely do give feedback. But they're not walking the halls," Mumbach explains. "It's a balance."

"Aqua Panic!" llegará a PSNLooks like PS3 owners have a puzzle game to look forward to, as Eko Software's Aqua Panic! will arrive on PSN October 19th. Previously available on PSP, this cute and imaginative game challenges players to control water flow to ferry different types of fish back to the sea where they belong.
Aqua Panic! on PSN
“With the success from Aqua Panic’s PSP release, we know fans will enjoy the game on the PlayStation 3,” said Jules-Benjamin Lalisse, President of Eko Software.“The PlayStation 3 version will not only be as addictive, but the online component will have gamers showcasing their saved sea creatures competitively with each other.”
From the publisher:
Aqua Panic! features 80 levels and 5 environments including spring, summer, autumn, winter, and inferno. Gamers can play in three game play modes- adventure, free play, and survival. 15 incredible tools for missions- bombs to dig the ground, plants to deflect the flow, or Ice to freeze the water and to make it solid. Ferocious enemies to defeat, like hungry seagulls, sliding penguins, and narcoleptic sharks.
PlayStation 3 features for Aqua Panic! consist of an online scoreboard, true 1080p HD graphics, trophies, and BGM support.
Seems like a good time, but of course, we'll post a review asap.
