Kill Dr. Lucky Opens for Beta Testing

GameTable Online's seventh game has reached open beta testing! Kill Dr. Lucky was unveiled at the Origins convention and is now up for play on the site. Early reports from our users are very positive. The game is solid, stable and - just like the real life version - a blast to play. We are recommending it for 3-7 players but are also allowing an extended group of 2-10 to play. James Ernest was the very first publisher to believe in us and to license games to us - and we're proud to now offer two of his inventions online.

Heroes Incorporated is a board game where players are in a contest to strategically patrol the streets of Megalopolis, gaining rewards for each block they rid of crime. Fate and Super Villain cards add to the challenge. The game's twelve original, unique heroes have their own super powers, which dynamically change the rules and strategies of the game. As players fight crime they also play cards to power up their heroes, build gadgets, go on bonus adventures, and acquire fame.

We are very happy to line this game up for GTO as it has been getting rave reviews, selling like hotcakes and fills our need for a great super hero game. Quest Machine has made quite an entry into the market with their first game!

Vampire Going Live

This Month Vampire is finishing up its beta testing phase and will soon be going live for play. At that point we'll start tracking the time our users spend with the game, put the game on our leader board so users can vie for being the Vampire champion, and do some targeted advertising to attract more users. Reiner even had a chance to play it in person at Origins!

We intend to have a new game going live at least once a quarter. Even though we slipped into Q3 by a bit, we're counting this as our Q2 release.
