Horror Film Director Herschell Gordon Lewis Presents Hollyweird Zombies iPhone App

Leave a comment

Zombie Active Games is excited to announce the upcoming release of its new Hollyweird Zombies iPhone/iPad game app in collaboration with Herschell Gordon Lewis, the notorious 60’s horror director of Blood Feast.

Encino, CA, May 13, 2011 — Capitalizing on the mystique of Friday the 13th, Zombie Active Games is excited to announce the upcoming release of its new Hollyweird Zombies iPhone/iPad game app in collaboration with Herschell Gordon Lewis, the notorious 60’s horror director of Blood Feast.

Lewis-known as the Godfather of Gore-is shaking up the gaming industry with his entrance into the zombie genre through the iPhone app medium, according to Nick Pawluk, president of Zombie Active Games. “There are over 400,000 iPhone apps and dozens of zombie game apps, but this will be the first associated with an infamous and controversial Hollywood director,” Pawluk said. “Will the zombie app Hollyweird Zombies be as shocking and cutting-edge as his films?”

The Hollyweird Zombies game is also unique because it features an avatar of real-life Playboy Babe of the Month Sondra Barker, who the game’s hero must try to save, along with several other characters. In the game, the hero must rescue Barker’s avatar, Angel Lee, Lady Gore Gore, London and her dog Big Ben. Interestingly, the hero is the virtual son of Herschell Gordon Lewis, Gordy. In addition, the game includes real Hollywood Boulevard businesses-hence the name: Hollyweird Zombies.

Zombie Active Games is an Encino, Calif.-based company that is dedicated to developing interesting and fun iPhone and iPad games. Teaming up with Lewis for the Hollyweird Zombies game was ideal for the company. Lewis is a master filmmaker who has skillfully depicted the macabre in movies like Two Thousand Maniacs! (1964), Blood Feast (1963), Color Me Blood Red (1965) and Monster a-Go Go (1965). He also contributed as an actor, narrator, and radio announcer in some of his films, even singing the title song in Two Thousand Maniacs. The Pittsburg, Pennsylvania-born director is best known for creating the “splatter” film subgenre of horror.

“As a director, Lewis has taken horror films to a completely different level and gained an immense following among a distinct segment of movie-goers,” Pawluk said. “His fans and video gamers are eagerly waiting to see the application of his talents to the Hollyweird Zombies game.”

The impending release of the iPhone/iPad zombie game is a testament to consumers’ insatiable appetite for horror and gore. It also underscores the increasing popularity of iPhones/iPads apps and portable gaming. Hollyweird Zombies, which will be available at the iTunes store soon, seeks to satisfy consumers and contribute to the growth of the video gaming market.

XtremeFantasyLeagues.com Has Developed The First Ever Traditional Style Fantasy MMA Game That Emulates The Most Popular Of Fantasy Sports

Leave a comment

APR 11, 2011 /RTPR/ — Finally, MMA fans can experience what fantasy NFL fans have been experiencing for years with a groundbreaking stat based fantasy game. Unlike other MMA pick em’ games, MMA Xtreme Fantasy offers the ability to choose a team of fighters for one event, which will represent different statisitical categories and have them compete in a league for large cash prizes.

Up until now, there have only been variations of fantasy MMA games where you can pick a winner and how they win. By definition though, true fantasy games that are played for cash prizes can only be based on statistical results and not by actual outcomes. MMA Xtreme Fantasy is the first fantasy MMA site to offer such leagues.

There are two main reasons why a true fantasy MMA game took so long to develop. The first one was simply stats. Until recently, there have been no official stats taken for MMA fights. However, with there being official stats for high profile fights now, the capability of true fantasy leagues is a reality.

The second reason was how different MMA is compared to most other sports that fantasy leagues are played in. Most sports have a large pool of players to choose from and a consistent season. What Xtreme Fantasy Leagues.com has done was use the basic principles of how traditional fantasy sports have been played and flipped the concepts in order to maintain the traditional style of fantasy play, but fit it into the sport of MMA.

Instead of drafting a fighter for a certain position, team owners are drafting them for a certain statistical category. This is why MMA Xtreme Fantasy can offer 10+ teams per league with only a small group of fighters to choose from. Each league also only runs for one event, cutting down the commitment time and other issues that arise from not having a set season.

Owner, Mike Sixel believes this is what the sport needs to take it to, yet another level. “Even being a huge fight fan myself”, explained Sixel, “There are always at least one or two fights that are either boring or I simply don’t know the fighters. I didn’t have any investment in those fights, but now people will have that investment and excitement because of the true fantasy MMA experience.”

Sixel goes on to explain, “One of the most exciting aspects of fantasy sports is tracking your teams progress throughout the event and watching your fantasy picks come through for you.”

Xtreme Fantasy Leagues.com has made the sign up process simple enough for the newest of MMA fans but still fun for the most hardcore of fans. Sign-ups to our paid leagues by April 25th will automatically be entered into a contest for a chance to be in a league with two UFC veterans. Winner of this league will win a $100 cash prize. There is also a free “Tin” league for people to test out this new fantasy sport. Leagues are available now for sign up at www.XtremeFantasyLeagues.com and/orwww.MMAXtremeFantasy.com.  For more information on the site and leagues themselves, contact info@xtremefantasyleagues.com.  Promotions and league information also can be found on their facebook and twitter page, keywords: Xtreme Fantasy Leagues.com.
