Channel 4's Glasgow games arm reveals launch titles

All 4 Games, the Glasgow-based video game publishing arm of Channel 4, has announced its first three titles.

Apestorm: Full Bananas will be among the first games published by Glasgow-based All 4 Games

The broadcaster said the new operation has chosen “intense and sinister” arcade game Fire Fu, “stylish, arcade radial shooter” Super Arc Light and “side-scrolling zeppelin bombing game” Apestorm: Full Bananas for its launch line-up.

The games are set for release in the first quarter of this year and will be amongst the first titles published by All 4 Games for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Android devices.

All 4 Games is led by Colin Macdonald, a graduate of Dundee’s Abertay University who served as producer on the best-selling Grand Theft Auto franchise while working at the city’s DMA Design studio in the late 1990s.

He said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be announcing our first batch of published games, as well as the exciting partnerships we’ve built in our first few months of operation.

“We’re proud to be working alongside some of the finest mobile games development teams within the UK and Europe, and can’t wait to give these talented teams the platform that they deserve.”
