HOARD^TM RELEASES ON PSP^®, ON SALE FOR PLAYSTATION^®3

Innovative game about dragons and treasure now available on PlayStation®Portable System and discounted on PlayStation^®3 System

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — March 22^nd, 2011 — Big Sandwich Games announced today that their award-winning strategy title HOARD™ is available for purchase in North America on the PSP^® (PlayStation^®Portable) system.  To celebrate, the publisher has also put the PlayStation^®3 computer entertainment system version on sale.

Both versions are currently selling for the low price of $9.99, although the PlayStation^®3 system discount is for a limited time only. The titles can be purchased via the PlayStation^® Network.

HOARD^TM puts players in the role of a dragon, fighting against towns, knights, giants, wizards, and thieves in a quest to gather as much gold as possible.  The game includes over 35 levels, single player challenges, co-op and competitive multiplayer (PlayStation^®3 system), and 90+ badges to earn.  The gameplay is a cross between a dual-stick arcade shooter and an RTS, with significant elements of strategy and deeper systems.  Joystiq.com notes, “HOARD’s gameplay shines.”

“It’s hard to find this much destruction and fun for such a low price,” observes Tyler Sigman, the game’s designer.  “Torment villages, kidnap princesses, and burn down castles – all for the cost of a muffin and a latte!”

 Big Sandwich Games encourages interested gamers to find out more about the game at the official website (http://hoardgame.com) and the Facebook page (http://facebook.com/HoardGame).
