Vancouver, Canada — September 2, 2010
— Indie developer Hothead Games will feature their two latest
video games at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, Washington from
September 3 to 5.
In addition to hourly live game play demos of both
Swarm and
DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue, the company’s
PAX booth will contain kiosks where show attendees can play the
newest DeathSpank adventure. Attendees can also enter to win a
number of prizes including limited edition Hothead merchandise.
“We’re really excited to be at PAX to show off
Swarm and
DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue,” said Ian
Wilkinson, President of Hothead. “PAX has always been a show
for gamers and we appreciate the opportunity to connect directly
with fans.”
DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue is Hothead’s
all new rapid-fire action-RPG game and is the perfect companion to
Hothead’s original hit game DeathSpank that launched in July
2010.
In
DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue our unlikely hero
must recover six mystical thongs (yes thongs!) and bring balance
and harmony to the universe. Thongs of Virtue launches on September
21 on PlayStation Network and September 22 on Xbox LIVE Arcade.
www.deathspank.com is your source for all things
DeathSpank including both the original and
DeathSpank: Thongs of Virtue game.
Swarm is an action platformer like no other.
Players control a herd of fifty daft, pudgy and utterly fearless
Swarmites, driving them through an intense and often suicidal
gauntlet of death and destruction. The game features innovative
mass character control, fast-paced action and comic mayhem,
offering players a unique experience that will keep them playing
again and again. More information on
Swarm can be found at
www.swarmites.com.
Hothead’s booth at PAX, Sky 1, is centrally located
on the sky bridge in the Washington State Convention Center in
downtown Seattle.
