Get your drink on while you own up the competition!

Torrance, Calif. – April 28th, 2009 – Aksys Games, a leading publisher of interactive entertainment products, is pleased to announce the collaboration of Mana Energy Potion and BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger.

For a limited time and while supplies last, GameCrazy customers who buy BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger at a GameCrazy retailer will receive an exclusive BlazBlue Collector’s Edition Mana Energy Potion as a free bonus.

Full press release after the jump.

“BlazBlue IS the next-generation of 2D fighting games and we’re honored to be a part of it,” said Aaron Rasmussen, VP of marketing, Mana Energy Potions. “It is undoubtedly a game that will be played in all-night online gaming sessions and we’re glad that we can give a few lucky gamers that extra competitive edge with the BlazBlue Collector’s Edition Mana Energy Potion.”

“People will probably wonder that the connection is between BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger and Mana Energy Potion,” said Gail Salamanca, director of marketing, Aksys Games. “Well, the Mana Energy Potion is blue and the name of the game is BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, so yeah, I think that pretty much covers it.”

“Seriously, Gail? I come up with this awesome PR quote for you and that’s all you got?”

“Well, all I know is that after seeing the booth girls you were rocking at New York Comic-con, I was like, ‘these guys know how to party… we have to work with these guys somehow.’ So, yeah blue Mana Potion and BlazBlue was good enough for me.”

“So, you just thought we were cool dudes?”

“In a nutshell, yes…”

“Now that you mention it, we are pretty cool, huh? Okay, I’ll buy that.”

About Harcos
Based in Santa Monica, Calif., Harcos was founded by two gamer geeks who discovered a niche at the intersection where gaming and consumer products merge with the launch of their first vitamin/energy beverage, Mana Energy Potion. Each magical bottle of Mana Energy Potion <http://www.manapotions.com/buy.html> looks like it’s straight out of a video game and is filled with a bright blue liquid that adds +160 to mana, packs a powerful dose of vitamins and delivers up to eight hours of smooth energy without sugar or an after crash. The company’s follow up, Health Energy Potion <http://www.manapotions.com/buy.html>, possesses a mellow apple-cinnamon flavor and is jam-packed with natural herbs, such as elderberry and ginseng, and the vitamins biotin and folic acid, while providing the same 5-8 hours of smooth, powerful energy with no sugar or after crash.

We heard you like Limited Edition…

I’m sure a few, if not all of you have heard about the…FREE UPGADE to BlazBlue Limited Edition, if you preordered at the usual spots. Here’s a quick breakdown on what you get in the Limited Edition…

BAD ASS Collector’s Edition Packaging (this goes a long way if you got bad ass art) – Deal!

2-Disc, 42 track, BlazBlue soundtrack! (that’s right, 42 tracks, that’s 13 more tracks than the previously released original soundtrack in Japan!) – Done!

And finally, the pride and enjoy of this Limited Edition; the bonus disc that contains tutorials, created by top players of Dustloop.com and Shoryuken.com. The tutorial will  breakdown the basics and advanced strategies per character. It’ll even walk you through various combos, that will challenge the combo fiend in all of us. And just when you think you can’t get enough of it, we’ve included high level match play, so that you can see the strategy and tactics in play.  Narration is also done by the players themselves plus a special guest star…- F*&% YEAH!

So, what’re you doing here and reading this mess for? Better go out and preorder this bad boy…Oh did we mention the Limited Edition is retailed at $59.99, the usual cost of a normal Xbox 360 and PS3 game?! MADNESS I SAY!

Oh and if you already preordered, you’re getting a free upgrade to Limited Edition status, – SWEET!

another thing, Limited Edition, FIRST RUN ONLY. Meaning, after our first run is sold out, the 2nd batch WON’T BE LIMITED EDITION AND WILL NOT contain the bonus stuff!!

Blaze on folks…
