The UK’s two leading game developer trade bodies, The Independent Games Developers Association (TIGA) and the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA) are joining forces in the push for industry tax breaks in the region, “immediately” forming a steering committee to address the issue.

TIGA will head the committee, and both its members and ELSPA’s will team up with additional advisors they’ll invite from the fields of law, tax and public affairs. According to the bodies’ joint statement, the aim is to find out why the UK government withdrew planned tax breaks for game developers from its budget, and to re-evaluate TIGA’s original lobbying efforts to see where its presentation in favor might be strengthened.

Global warming is going to be our undoing, but not because we will suddenly run out of polar bear pelts or ice for our afternoon drinks. Thanks to rising temperatures, more ice starts to melt, unleashing a virus that has remained frozen for millennia. But this is not any virus. It is alien in origin and it plans to evolve and destroy us. It is also intelligent, because it is who you are in the action/strategy game War Of Cells, the first online Flash offering from Lognetic.
