Two new hoops games are live!

Basketball season is around the corner and with the Yankees eliminated from baseball's postseason... I am moving on! Today, we've kick-started hoops season on Candystand.com by launching 3-Point Shootaround and Dunk-a-Thon.

You may have heard that Wrigley's gum is now the official gum of the NBA. We'll have a bunch of cool NBA content on the site soon, but for now you'll have to settle for a couple of games. These are popular games that were on the site a while back and that we're bringing back.

Big week ahead!

I realize things have been a little bit quiet here at the blog, but I do have my reasons! We have a really, really huge week ahead -- in fact, the next month or so is going to bring a ton of brand, spanking new games!

First up, we are set to launch the much ballyhooed Candystand Baseball. For the first time, we've tackled creating a full version of a sports game -- this is not easy to do while keeping the file at a reasonable size (meaning it doesn't take you forever to download it!). This game allows you to play both offense (hitting) and defense (pitching and fielding) and will probably remind you of the some of the classic console baseball games.

We also will be releasing Pow Pool. A lot of you know how excited I am about this game. Essentially, it is a very stylized pool-style game. What you need to do is sink all of the balls on the table (a smaller table with 4 pockets) before time runs out. My only warning is that you really shouldn't start playing this until you're ready to get hooked. No joke, I have been obsessed since I got a test version over a month ago.

Lastly, we have a bunch of new sports games lead by Candystand Face-Off, a new hockey game. We're working on previews of all the sports titles as well as Wave Jet Racer which is in development and looking hot!
