“As a team based game, building a thriving community around Savage 2 has been a major part of the game’s development,” said Marc DeForest, co-founder and lead designer of S2 Games. “Working with iGames to offer gamers the opportunity to not only try the game early, but to also maintain a full game account while playing at iGames centers. This allows gamers to come out and play the game the way it was meant to be played – among and against friends.”
