Pandemic 2.5 continues its assault on the App Store and currently stands at #2 in both the US and Canada and at #1 in the UK! But unlike other companies, there is no marketing team at Dark Realm Studios which is why (if you’ve liked the game) it’s vital that you guys spread the word about Pandemic 2.5 over Facebook or Twitter!

The update to version 1.01 went live yesterday for Pandemic 2.5. If you haven’t yet updated, do so now to get numerous fixes and tweaks. And now with 1.01 out of the way, work on the big 1.1 update can begin which (when live later this month) will include saved game support, tutorials, improved UI and much more.

If you’ve played the game and want more of the amazing music, then you’re in luck! Evgueni has just released the official Pandemic 2.5 soundtrack today on Beatport! Or if Beatport is not your thing, you can also find the soundtrack on iTunes.

And lastly, another review of Pandemic 2.5 has been written, this time on CNET. Jason Parker gives the game four out of five stars.

Wow, thanks to all your amazing support Pandemic 2.5 has been flying off the (digital) shelves and is sitting securely in the top 5 on the app store! Check Gamasutra for the gory details. But don't think that just because the game has been released that work on the game has stopped.

Update 1.01 should go live later this week once Apple approves it. It's a small update that fixes a number of issues like the instructions on the iPhone and a rare input related bug.

Once version 1.01 is made available, work will begin on an extensive update bringing the game up to version 1.1. This update will primarily focus on improving the game by adding saved games, a tutorial, and interface improvements.

And on a side note as a temporary reliever until version 1.1 comes online, later today I'll be posting a guide to the game for newcomers on the Dark Realm Studios forums.

It's only been just over a day, but already so much is going on that my head is literally spinning (severe lack of sleep). But you didn’t come here to read about my sleeping habits. You came for news – or perhaps to buy Pandemic 2.5.

Unsure of whether or not Pandemic 2.5 is a game that interests you? Well if you can't decide, allow Mr. Tom Chick of QuarterToThree to think for you! He has just recently written a review of the game and has given it 4/5 stars!

Secondly, if you're French, or can read French and are interested in perhaps winning a copy of Pandemic 2.5, the great guys over at iPhoneSoft are currently running a contest. Get over there quick if you want a shot at saving yourself $0.99.

Speaking of contests: if you live in Vancouver or its surrounding area, you'll have a chance to win a copy of Pandemic 2.5 for your iPhone or iPad. If you happen to stumble across any blood filled vials while moving around the city, you'll find a label containing a promo code that can be used on the App Store. Note: vials aren't filled with real blood and if you find a blood filled vial that is without a label, I'd recommend giving your hands a thorough washing. Desclaimer: Dark Realm Studios Inc. is not responsible for injuries suffered from looking for blood filled vials.

And lastly, we now have our forums online. They need some work, but will provide a more than suitable place to talk about Pandemic 2.5 related topics.
