DUBLIN, Ireland -- PopCap Games Inc., the leading developer and
publisher of casual video games, announced that beginning today its
popular action game Feeding Frenzy 2: Shipwreck Showdown is available
for download via the Xbox LIVE Arcade (XBLA) online service of
Microsoft's Xbox 360 video game console. Featuring a wealth of
optimizations exclusively for Xbox LIVE, the XBLA version of Feeding
Frenzy 2 includes high-definition graphics, achievements and
leaderboards, and several all-new multiplayer modes. Available now for
800 Microsoft Points, Feeding Frenzy 2 joins five other PopCap titles
alreadyon XBLA, including Zuma, Heavy Weapon and the original Feeding
Frenzy.

"Feeding Frenzy 2 really improves on the original game in virtually
every way, as far as XBLA is concerned," said Greg Canessa, VP of video
game platforms at PopCap. "With three different multiplayer modes,
high-def graphics and some new moves that really lend themselves to a
joystick controller, the new sequel is pretty perfectly suited to Xbox."

In Feeding Frenzy 2: Shipwreck Showdown, you're a little fish in a big
sea, and must gobble your way up the food chain to solve an underwater
mystery. Swim fast, eat anything smaller than you and avoid larger fish
who want you for lunch. Battle everything from poisonous minnows to
fish-munching orcas in your pursuit of a mysterious menace of the sea.
Keep eating the power-ups to increase your speed and growth rate, add
extra time, bulk up your "food bank" and more!

This new version of Feeding Frenzy makes a sizable leap in overall
gameplay and XBLA-specific features, including:

High-definition graphics and 5.1 surround sound create a more immersive
experience

*All multiplayer modes are same-console only

Featured White Papers

  • Seven Best Practices for Speech Analytics: Speech analytics is valuable for identifying issues in the contact center. However, limiting its use to the contact center only considers a portion of all customer interactions and subsequently only reveals a small part of the voice of the customer. This paper discusses how organizations can optimize their Speech Analytics implementation strategy to realize the promise of this exciting technology.
  • Understanding the Voice of the Customer: Today's contact centers involve a sea of information that must be captured, processed, and distributed on a daily basis. Effective use of this information enables companies to remain competitive in an increasingly aggressive and customer centric marketplace. An overwhelming percentage of the information that circulates in a contact center's audio recordings, documents, web pages, and emails is unstructured in that it resides outside of a normal structured database and cannot be managed efficiently. These unstructured items contain valuable information, yet this information historically has been difficult to organize, categorize, and access.
