Kalypso Media has announced that the M.U.D. TV demo is now available for download! Along with several screenshots.
The demo will include the official tutorial and also the first two missions from the final version of M.U.D. TV. Official press release from Kalypso below, as well as the screenshots.
Handing over the keys to the executive offices at the most talked about new television network, Kalypso Media today released the official demo for the unique PC strategy experience, M.U.D. TV. Prior to the official launch this Spring, players can take the reins of a start-up TV network and put their skills to the test as they work to carve out a space in broadcasting history.
Included in the demo are the official tutorial and the first two missions found in the final version of M.U.D. TV.
MISSION 1:
Players take control of Matt, M.U.D. TV’s new and ethically questionable executive. After being chased out of university for being evil, Matt is bent on taking over the world. To do so, Matt’s first goal is to make a certain amount of money from TV programming to acquire the first parts of a device to control people’s minds through television.
MISSION 2:
The nefarious plan is coming together and the device to control people’s minds is being built. The next step is to build his audience and gain 1.8 million viewers in a single target demographic. Who will Matt go after and how will he reach his goal? It’s up to the player to make it happen.
Fed up with the same formulaic TV sitcoms? Is reality TV beyond real? Think you can do a better job? This March, players can prove it with M.U.D. TV (Mad, Ugly, Dirty Television), a new strategy simulation game from Kalypso Media where players call the shots as a top TV executive striving to raise ratings and advertising revenue for their own TV network.
In the game, players are tasked with creating a TV studio, hiring actors, staff and directors to create popular TV programming that will propel the station up the ratings chart. But beware, as rival studios will use every trick in the book to sabotage the station and steal its viewers, actors and even those all important advertising dollars. Dirty tricks are not reserved for the competition though, as players can learn their own shady maneuvers to fight back and do whatever it takes build their TV empire!

Fans of the Batman – The Brave and the Bold animated series will be happy to learn of the new game planned for the two Nintendo consoles, the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo DS. The game is expected to feature many of the DC Universe’s characters including the likes of Aqua Man, the Green Lantern and of coarse, Batman’s sidekick Robin.
Here is a press release from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment on the game.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, on behalf of DC Comics, announces Batman: The Brave and the Bold the Videogame, an action-adventure videogame based on the popular animated series, available this Autumn for Wii and Nintendo DS. In the game, fans play alongside Batman and many of his allies in the DC UNIVERSE to take on dozens of popular villains.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold the Videogame fully immerses fans into the vivid animated world of the successful TV series where kids can play as Batman or together with family and friends in two-player co-op mode. Players can choose from iconic characters ROBIN, GREEN LANTERN, BLUE BEETLE, along with drop-in heroes such as AQUAMAN to help solve puzzles and fight foes.
The game provides maximum replay value to those who own both the Wii and Nintendo DS versions by allowing them to connect the two systems to unlock BAT-MITE as a playable character. Players can control him with the Nintendo DS to wreak havoc or fight alongside the main characters in all levels of the Wii videogame.
“Batman: The Brave and the Bold the Videogame further illustrates the diverse appeal of the Batman brand and the gameplay is a fun, vibrant extension of the animated series,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President of Development and Production, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “The game’s co-op play offers kids, families and Batman fans an interactive way of experiencing the cartoon’s iconic characters.”
In Batman: The Brave and the Bold the Videogame, players embark on an exciting journey through crime-filled alleys, alien planets, abandoned underground cities and mysterious laboratories. Further lending to the authentic cartoon feel of the game is the inclusion of Batman’s iconic gadgets such as Batarangs and his Grapnel Gun.
