Wednesday, July 23, 2008
'Little Shop - Road Trip,' fourth edition in hit casual gaming series, now available on GameHouse.com and RealArcade.com
SEATTLE, July 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- From Casual Connect, the Games
Division of digital entertainment services provider RealNetworks(R), Inc.
(Nasdaq: RNWK) today announced the fourth installment of the popular "Little
Shop" series, "Little Shop - Road Trip." To celebrate the new game,
RealArcade.com is offering casual gamers a chance to win one of four gift
cards, to help ease the pain at the pump during their own summer road trips.
Designed by Real's Seattle-based GameHouse(R) Studios, the "Little Shop"
series of casual games are some of the most popular titles in the highly
competitive genre of hidden object games. Each game in the "Little Shop"
series features vivid scenes, clever clues, and original challenges to help
gamers find cleverly hidden items among these unique little shops.
Matt Turetzky, vice president of content and non-PC platforms for Real's
Games Division, said "From the beginning, the Little Shop series has been the
top-selling franchise across our portals and distribution network in the
hottest segment of the casual games business -- hidden object games. 'Little
Shop - Road Trip' is a ground-breaking title for us with innovative features,
stunning animation and challenging new puzzles."
In the first three Little Shop games, players started their own business
in the quaint little town of Huntington, and then successfully moved it to the
Big City. GameHouse now invites you to take a break from your thriving little
shops and set off on the road to fun with "Little Shop - Road Trip." Venture
across the U.S. in search of Americana! Visit dazzling scenes from Seattle to
South Beach on your quest to collect rare and exclusive new items for your
shops back home. Featuring two great game modes, thousands of cleverly hidden
objects, over 100 levels of original gameplay, 16 cinematic scenes, new bonus
mini-games, a new "Magnet" hint feature, and miles and miles of family fun;
there's more to be seen in "Little Shop - Road Trip" than ever before.
As summer road trips get into full swing, RealArcade.com is helping to
ease players' pain at the gas pump by giving away four gift cards. Between
July 23 and August 12, gamers can enter to win a grand prize of a $200 gift
card or one of three $100 gift cards, with no purchase necessary.
RealArcade.com customers will also be able to enter the sweepstakes via an
entry link on the "Little Shop - Road Trip" game page.
Along with the entire "Little Shop" series and Real's extensive library of
fun, casual, online games, "Little Shop - Road Trip" is now available for the
