New York - August 11, 2009

GamersGate, the premier online marketplace for downloadable PC games,
today announced a distribution agreement with Blitz Games Studios to
host two highly acclaimed PC titles: Buccaneer: The Pursuit of Infamy,
a swashbuckling action game set on the high seas, and Droplitz, an
engaging and addictive puzzle game. Players can head to GamersGate

"GamersGate is thrilled to provide a commercial outlet for Blitz Games
Studios, and we look forward to building a strong relationship with
them in the future," said Theo Bergquist, CEO of GamersGate.
"Developers like Blitz Games Studios are the reason we started
GamersGate, and our passion for providing the largest, most accessible
library of games is satisfied with this partnership"

Buccaneer: The Pursuit of Infamy puts gamers in charge of a crew of
pirates as they loot and pillage their way to infamy. Play the single
player campaign, or compete with up to 18 other ships in cut-throat,
team-based multiplayer. Droplitz is a unique and challenging puzzle
game, where players must rotate dials in order to create pathways for
the Droplitz as they slowly trickle down from the Droppers at top of
the screen to the Collectors at the bottom. Buccaneer: The Pursuit of
Infamy and Droplitz can be purchased from GamersGate for $19.95 and
$9.95, respectively.

"We’re delighted to have joined up with Gamers Gate for distribution
