About Teenage Zombies: Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys
The Earth is under invasion by a horde of Alien Brain …uh … Thingys! Humans, succumbing to ray-guns, mind-control, and shiny flying saucers, have failed to defend their planet and have let it fall easily into the clutches of the Big Brain and his army of Brain Thingys. The only hope left for mankind is three Teenage Zombies that have arisen from a graveyard disturbed in the invasion. The undead trio ignores their normal human victims in favor of the pulsing pink brains they see EVERYWHERE, all the while being lured to the ultimate lunch: THE BIG BRAIN! The Big Brain soon realizes he’s overlooked this “Super Race” as they inexplicably resist mind-control, are unaffected by ray-gun wounds, and devour his Brain Thingy Armies like popcorn! He refocuses his efforts and resources to battle the Earth’s greatest champions: The Teenage Zombies!
With a whimsical style reminiscent of 1950s science-fiction, Teenage Zombies: Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys features side-scrolling action, stylus mini-games, and challenging puzzles and boss battles. Teenage Zombies: Invasion of the Alien Brain Thingys is now available in stores at a suggested retail price of $19.99.
Ravenwood School of Magical Arts Opens for Enrollment this Summer Virtual World Designed Especially for Teens and Tweens
Online entertainment company KingsIsle Entertainment, Inc. today announced plans for Wizard101, an elaborate 3D virtual world in which magic and sorcery come to life as players embark on a quest that involves a massive cast of good, evil and frequently silly characters.

We’ve set the bar high for this game.”

In the game, players will adventure through magical 3D environments as they learn, collect and cast spells summoning fantastic cinematic creatures. Players can also collect bizarre pets and magical artifacts, solve puzzles, make friends, play mini games, and more.
Features include:
· Extensive magical 3D world where players team up with friends and carry out quests to save Wizard City from the forces of Evil.
· Collectible card-style duels that come to cinematic life as players cast spells alongside fellow and rival students.
· More than 101 collectible spells summon zany creatures such as Humongofrog, Evil Snowman and Stormzilla.
· Seven different schools of magic, each with its own unique style and storyline.
· Many witty scenarios and characters based on history, mythology and pop culture.
· The ability to adopt magical pets, like a tiny dragon or flying pig.
· Puzzles and mini-games that challenge the player to earn crystals and enchanted items.
· New outfits and accessories to earn for your customizable Wizard character.
