Hello everyone and welcome to the new look GamesforPPC website. Things have been quiet here over the past few months, but personally it couldn’t have been more opposite. The old site was beginning to get a bit creaky and was also lacking some major features, like a search engine. This has now been rectified as well as the addition of categories. Hopefully the site is now more pleasing to the eye and a little quicker to load. I have many exciting things planned in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled.

As always your feedback is gratefully received. Looking forward to a great 2007.

Avast me hearties!!! Tuesday 19th September is International Talk Like a Pirate Day and the Astraware Team is celebratin’ once again! ARRR!

We’re dressin’ and talkin’ like a pirate the whole day and when the workday is done we be bowlin’ like pirates too (photographic evidence will be here soon)!

A word from our fine captain, Redbeard Tomlinson: “Arrr, now’s yer chance to get a bit piratey - and if we don’t get at least an Arrr out of ye, it’ll be twelve strokes of the cat and no internet access for the rest of the day! A-harrr.”

If ye want to join us in a bit of pirate fun, why not get your PDA or Smartphone shipshape with a copy of Tradewinds or Seven Seas. You can even get a few dubloons off the price! Visit our special piratey promo page for more information.

The fine shipmates at Marie Curie Cancer Care are also joining the pirate fun for the day, and in cooperation with Popcap Games and Sandlot Games we’ll be donating the booty from both games to them at the end of the month.
