Help: The Game is a compilation of video games created to raise money for the charity War Child. Published by Sega, all profits of this game will go directly to War Child UK, a charity that helps children affected by conflict across the world. The charity helps to protect these poor children by protecting their continued education and livelihoods.
The games in this compilation have been created by some really good developers, including:
• Bossa Studios (Surgeon Simulator)
• Creative Assembly (Total War)
• Curve Digital (Stealth Inc.)
• Hardlight (Sonic Dash)
• Modern Dream (LA Cops)
• Rovio Sweden (Angry Birds)
• Spilt Milk Studios (Tango Fiesta)
• Sports Interactive (Football Manager)
• Sumo Digital (Sonic & All-Stars Racing)
• Team 17 (Worms)
• Torn Banner (Chivalry: Medieval Warfare)
There hasn’t been much information released about any of these games, but we do know there will be a mix of single and multiplayer games.
Here’s what Miles Jacobson, one of the developers behind Football Manager, had to say about Help: The Game: ”When we first revealed the plans for Help: The Game we were cautiously optimistic that it would generate some interest throughout the games business, but the level of enthusiasm that came back to us exceeded our expectations. Having seen the results of those jams that have been completed to date, it’s obvious that the studios who’ve taken part have been having a lot of fun - and from July 26 it will be the gamers’ turn.”
Help: The Game is scheduled for release on July 26th for a cool £9.99 / $14.99 / €14.99.
