WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - Hasbro Inc. (HAS)and French-based Volumique announced a global intellectual property license agreement that will give Hasbro the rights to employ Volumique's proprietary technology in its new line of Hasbro zAPPed Games based on iconic brands such as BATTLESHIP and MONOPOLY.
The proprietary interactive game play allows players to wage epic battles on their iPad by executing strategic maneuvers, launching devastating missile attacks and initiating lethal airstrikes.
With MONOPOLY zAPPed, which launches in June 2012, an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch will be turned into a banking unit and will add and subtract money from virtual accounts with a simple tap of a special bank card on the iOS device.
