POLYTRON ANNOUNCES NEW CLOUD-GAMING SERVICE, GUANO-ON
For immediate release
Montreal, April 1st, The Future – Today, POLYTRON, world leader in leadership announces the launch of it’s brand new future-proof cloud-gaming service, GUANO-ON.
It is with uncontainable pride that POLYTRON today announces it’s first foray in the bold new world of cloud computing with GUANO-ON!
BUT WHAT IS IT?
GUANO-ON allows for isntant streaming of games to anything with a screen. Just sit down, relax and let GUANO-ON take care of all that nasty processing and computing for you.
Everything is handled server-side by GUANO-ON. Our one server takes care of everything and streams the red-hot next-gen graphics straight to your face. No more annoying cooling fan noise!
BUT HOW DOES IT WORK?
Simple! GUANO-ON collects the controller inputs from all online players, and averages out the input to a single, perfect input. We call this process “crowd-sourced social-controls 3.0″. The GUANO-ON server then processes the unique averaged input, and sends you back velvet-smooth audio-visual chocolate straight to your screen-enabled device of choice! A true democratic videogame revolution!
GUANO-ON supports anything with a screen! Televisions, monitors, iPhones, iPods, IPads, iPuds, DS, DSl, DSi, DSi XL, 3DS, DS4EVA or even one of those new-fangled fridges with internet access!
Simply sign up for the GUANO-ON LIVE NETWORK weekly access pass, and jump in whichever game our one server happens to be running, ANYWHERE!
GUANO-ON is currently negotiating with many of today’s top talents for exclusive GUANO-ON content.
WHAT’S ON? GUANO-ON IS ON. THAT’S WHAT’S ON.
GUANO-ON!

Indeed! To better represent the edgy nature and aesthetic the game, and edges of squares and cubes, Polytron is proud to announce the name change from Fez to FEDGE!
We at Polytron Corporation are at the edge of everything, at the edge of other edges, so it only make sense to reflect this edgyness in our product’s name, which is now Fedge.

Awesome Recent Games We Like
It’s been a great month for games so far, here are some of our faves.
Critter Crunch is a *beautiful* Magical Drop-style puzzle game for PS3. The attention to detail is spectacular, and the game is a blast to play. Check out the demo available tomorrow (10/22) on PSN. Great job Capybara! $6.99 on PSN. (Full disclosure: the gang at Capybara are friends of ours and are super awesome people.)
On the other side of the spectrum, Loren Schmidt’s Star Guard is an uber low-res platformer in a CGA color palette. Old school run/jump/shoot gameplay, great presentation. A free download for PC and Mac. (If you prefer joystick control, check out JoyToKey).
Arkedo’s JUMP!, a Xbox360 Indie Game is another retro-style game, and is retro-style HARD. 30 levels to get through, lots of coins/diamonds/1ups to collect along the way, and no continues. Hurts so good (if you’re into that sort of thing.) 240pts on XBLA.
PowerPill @ Pecha Kucha
Youtube user Kanawish kindly posted last night’s presentation about PowerPill.
