Recent news on Shrek the Third Game

I keep browsing thru the news, here is recent one on Shrek the Third Game.

AOL announced that it will launch an online interactive game based on the popular Shrek franchise on April 26, three weeks before Shrek the Third hits movie theaters. The game is co-produced by AOL, DreamWorks Animation and Mark Burnett Productions. (Hillshire Farm will be one of the sponsors of the game.)

Ye Olde Shrek the Third Royal Tournament game poses a series of online challenges over a six-week period involving characters and settings from the movie. Each day, players will have the opportunity to solve new challenges and explore new areas; 25 individual games in all will be released over the course of the tournament. The game is one of several AOL unveiled in a press event in New York.

Each time a player engages with a game, he or she gets an additional entry into that game's prize pool. At the end of the tournament, a grand-prize winner will be named, who will receive a family trip to Hollywood and other prizes. Shrek the Third, the newest installment in the hit animated franchise, opens May 18.
