Ubisoft Canada has launched a nation-wide program aimed at giving university students a well-deserved break from their studies, Crush Exam Stress and Just Dance. In the process, Ubisoft Canada will also seek to set a world record on Saturday April 6th 2013, with students from university campuses across Canada all dancing simultaneously to Flo Rida’s Good Feeling (video). The program is based on the insight that exam periods are one of the most stressful times for students on campus, and as they cram for finals they are likely to be more reclusive and shy away from physical activity. In collaboration with Edelman and Redwood Strategic, Ubisoft Canada will offer students an escape from their textbooks and create an opportunity to connect through fun and high-energy activities.

Big Blue Bubble Inc., creators of Burn The Rope, have announced the global release of My Singing Monsters, available now as a free download from the iTunes app store. My Singing Monsters is a world-building game where the player collects and breeds cute monsters. However, there’s a big difference that sets this game far apart from others of the genre; these monsters sing, play and dance. In the world of My Singing Monsters, each species has its own voice/instrument and personality. Monsters groove along with the beat until it’s their turn to perform and then, away they go! The player has considerable control over the ensemble; monsters can be muted for silence or multiplied for greater volume. Creating different groupings adds further variety to the performance.
