Dingo Games, announced today the Mac release of their swashbuckling epic The Three Musketeers: The Game. Available exclusively online, the game closely follows the plot of the original Three Musketeers novel. The classic adventure story and the rarely used setting of 17th century France make this game a unique experience.
Players take on the role of the young gentleman d’Artagnan as he sets off for Paris in hopes of becoming a Musketeer. Soon after arriving, d’Artagnan finds himself in duels with each of the famous three Musketeers: Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. By fighting alongside them, he is able to prove that he has the heart of a Musketeer and is accepted by them as a friend. When the evil Cardinal Richelieu launches a plot to disgrace the queen, only d’Artagnan and his three friends can defend her honor.
Created by independent developer Dingo Games, the game features an old school top-down perspective with hand drawn 2d graphics. Players gather loot, duel enemies, fire flintlocks, and play mini-games as they make their way through the main story. In addition, numerous side-quests exist for players who want to explore the entire game.
It took 165 years, but this classic tale has finally been faithfully adapted into a video game. The Windows version is currently in beta and will be released shortly. For more information on The Three Musketeers: The Game or to download the free demo, go to www.dingogames.com/three-musketeers-game/.

The categorized interface makes it really easy to find the exact game to play.
Mr. Sudoku’s unique and innovative interface allows players to use a familiar input device to select digits – their own personal digits! Simply use a finger to draw the appropriate number and it is instantly converted into the actual number. Ensuring the strategy and brain-flexing doesn’t stop, there are four difficulty levels with thousands of different Sudoku puzzles for to choose from.
Ambrosia’s mobile games are designed to be true casual games to be played whenever and wherever, yet dismissed quickly to take phone calls or send messages. When finished, players tap on the game application’s icon and head right back into the action.
