It’s spookin’ time! And to mark the season we’re doing THREE things!

First, we’re going trick or treating. Grant is dressed as Miley Cyrus, Dave is a foam finger and Ryan is Robin Thicke.

Second, we’re putting the PC editions of Joe Danger on sale at 75% off. More on that later.

Third, we’ve sent Joe Danger back to the movie lot to film the MOST TERRIFYING MOVIE OF ALL TIME in Joe Danger 2’s first add-on!

The Undead Movie Pack is an add-on for Joe Danger 2: The Movie on PC, 360 and PS3, and it features 15 all-new levels across three complete tours with six new characters!

You can hunt brains as Zombie, sabotage dark rituals as the Vampire Hunter, and escape the creeping darkness as Pumpkin Head. There’s also a skeletal biker, the dread Chimpanzombie and the adorable Werebear.

Enough talk! We’ve made a trailer!

There are loads of new obstacles to avoid, like ghostly hands that slow you down and an unstoppable and unknowable ancient horror that you must run from! There’s also loads of new stuff to do, from hunting flaming skulls to smashing eldritch pentagrams. It’s basically all Grant’s dreams. There are all-new achievements/trophies to collect, too :D

If you’re playing on PS3 and 360, it’s already out:

Undead Movie Pack on Xbox 360
Undead Movie Pack on PS3

And if you’re playing on PC, it’s out tomorrow on Steam with a special Halloween 20% off!

What’s more, we’ve gone effectively crazy and we’re going to be offering Joe Danger and Joe Danger 2: The Movie on PC at a terrifying 75% off!

Joe Danger or Joe Danger 2: normally $14.99, on sale for $3.75
Joe Danger Bundle (JD + JD2 + extras): normally $24.99, on sale for $6.25

We’re cutting our own noses off in a festival of blood here!

We showed off Joe Danger iOS for the first time yesterday, and it got lots of lovely press from nice people. Links to our favourites are below.

The summary though is…
“I have no doubt that this game is going to be a huge hit.”
“the next big thing to hit the AppStore”

We’re making a game for iPhone and iPad! It’s called Joe Danger Touch… and I really hope you like it.

Hello Games is looking for a bright new bee, to be almost entirely splendid and join us in the quest for full awesomeness. Here’s the “job description” – make fun games, drink tea, win awards and talk nonsense.

We’re looking for anyone who likes games, and kicks ass. Specifically we’re really interested in anybody willing to walk on hot coals and climb vast mountains (at the same time), just for the chance to make the games they love. Basically you’re us, but probably younger, better looking, not as grumpy and you consume less tea.

Your duties would be mainly centered around testing the game to ensure optimal levels of funkiness are maintained on a daily basis, with the possibility of jumping into development to reinforce us in any area you’re comfortable with.

You’ll be testing our latest games day-to-day, but you’ll also be exposed to things that will astound you… think of it as a gateway drug for the games industry.

Desired Experience

We’re looking for someone new who loves gaming, is hard working, ambitious and enjoys learning. Here are some other things we’d love you to have:

• Testing experience is a definite plus, or at least be prepared to QA ‘til your face bleeds.
• Be prepared to wear many hats, we’re an open and varied team.
• Have a skill in an additional area whether that be art, design, audio or programming…
• Proven dedication to gaming… maybe you’ve got a related degree or write a gaming blog or  just some other gaming related tomfoolery!

Right now we’re still a tiny team, imagine what we’ll do with your help! Drop us an email explaining why you’d be an amazing addition to our team, along with a CV and a portfolio of any work you may have to Jobs@hellogames.co.uk to apply. Drop what you’re doing and come join us!

You may remember we announced a level competition a couple of weeks ago. Perhaps you forgot? We haven’t!

It’s taken a very long time to go through all the entries. We literally had a lot of entries, but there can be only one winner. Except in this case, where we picked three!

First Prize goes to borito_crocodile, for their level “Hard Target”

Second Prize goes to BRENDON-75, for their level “Maximum Risk”

And finally Third Prize goes to Szerman, for their level “Double Impact”

We have gotten in touch with the winners, and cool stuff will be winging their way to them SOON.

All the runners up have also gone up on our Showcase. They are all GOLD!

In case you were wondering, most people forgot to name their levels. No problem! We named all the levels ourselves instead. The winning levels are named after Van Damme films, and the runner’s up are named after Steven Seagal films. Draw whatever conclusions you would like from that.
