Lourdes grad's game featured!

How many of you loyal Gaming page readers remember Our Lady of Lourdes graduate Steve Chiavelli?

Back on November 4th I profiled the former Hopewell Junction resident, as he had just helped create the award-winning downloadable game "Toblo" (downloadable HERE). He told us that he took a job at a game designing company named 5th Cell, and gave us an extremely early look at a game called "Drawn to Life."

All these months later, having heard no updates, I unfortunately began to believe that a publisher had yet to buy "Drawn to Life," a game specifically designed for the Nintendo DS. Well Just now I saw that "Drawn to Life" is now the centerpiece on IGN.com! To read the story, click here. As it turns out, THQ announced today that it came to an agreement with 5th Cell to publish the game, and will release it in September.

I could not be happier for Steve, and for the fact that we now will actually get to play this creative game, which will allow you to draw your own hero. Steve lives near 5th Cell's homebase in Bellevue, Washington, but his parents Gina and Richard are still living in Hopewell Junction.
