Trigger Launches Nikita Spy Training for iPad
For CBS’ upcoming television show on The CW Television Network, Nikita, Trigger created a first-person shooter game which allows players to train as part of the secret unit of government called Division. Players practice their shooting skills in a firing range and must prove they have what it takes to attempt to track down the escaped assassin, Nikita (played by Maggie Q). The game features a multi-target firing range with multiple levels, weapon upgrades, and a badge ranking system. Players can challenge themselves to beat their best high-score, with bonus points awarded for head shots and bull’s-eyes, and then share their badges on Facebook for bragging rights. The app is free and we think you’ll really dig it. Oh, and yes, you can expect an iPhone app in the near future…

Trigger Launches The Green Hornet Visual Synopsis
Trigger created the Visual Synopsis site for Sony Pictures’ The Green Hornet. The visual synopsis feature is a one-page slideshow viewer of a series of comic book panel-style animations. The purpose is to describe the film synopsis in a visually, interesting way rather than just providing text for users to read. This is especially useful for a film like The Green Hornet, where many people nowadays may be unfamiliar with the masked superhero despite his iconic history. The film stars Seth Rogen and is slated for a January 2011 release, so fret not as you’ll have plenty of time to get to know the superhero before then.

Using a marker and a webcam, visitors can fire the car’s various built-in weaponry such as its flamethrower, missiles, and Gatling gun.
