Greetings Falcon Friends! We've got some big news. The Novint Falcon has won another award! The Falcon has been selected as one of the winners of a Good Design Award! The award, which dates back to 1950, is given by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and it remains the oldest and most important Awards Program worldwide as it elevates the best and finest new design and design innovation for products and graphics. The Falcon was in good company as some of the other winners included the iPhone, the HP Touchsmart PC, and the Kodak Easyshare V1253. You can check out our announcement and the Good Design Web site.
We’ve got some very exciting game news! Our friends at HaptX have just announced that they will be releasing their free Mod for Quake4 Multiplayer! Here’s the inside scoop… HaptX has been using their Quake4 Mods primarily for demos and testing their HaptX software. A lot of people have been asking them how to get their hands on it so they’ve decided to make it public. They’ve spent a lot of time working with the Quake4 SDK and tweaking the experience so that it's optimized for the Falcon based community - including maintaining the speed and accuracy associated with games of this genre. At the same time they also wanted to maximize the capabilities of the Novint Falcon, embedding the recoil of the individual weapons while feeling the directions of bullets and explosions.
The HaptX Mod will be free of charge, but you'll need a copy of Quake4 installed on your computer. All you have to do is setup the Quake4 HaptX mod and play! We’re encouraging everyone to schedule tournaments and gatherings and use the setup to enjoy the first dedicated multiplayer environment with the Novint Falcon. More information on the Quake4 Multiplayer HaptX Mod will be available on Novint’s Web site and the HaptX Web site.
Here's another game that is very popular with the Falcon Community (much to the surprise of our hardcore gamers) - Tear Down. In the game you use your Novint Falcon to control the paddle and smash your environment to smithereens. As you hit one or more balls toward your target, you'll actually feel the effects of impacts, explosive blocks, enemy portals, power-up generators, and even be able to use your sense of touch to aim toward your target with precision.
Hello everyone! Many people ask us about the additional games for the Falcon. One of the most popular games in our library is Feelin' It: Gish. The game was the winner of the IGF Grand Prize (Seamus McNally Award), the IGF Innovation in Game Design Award, and Game of the Year Award from Game Tunnel.
Hello Falcon Friends! CircuitCity.com has just added the Falcon to their online store. You can also see the Falcon at Amazon.com and on the Fry's, J&R Music, and TigerDirect Web sites.

Greetings Falcon Friends!Novint Technologies, Inc., the pioneer of 3D touch for consumer computing, has acquired the 3D touch rights to "Advent Rising" from Majesco Entertainment. The popular third-person action adventure game was released for the PC and Xbox® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and was written by Nebula award-winning science fiction author, Orson Scott Card.
The Falcon is an entirely new type of game controller that allows users to fully experience the advanced play dynamics in this cinematic, action-packed title. Novint's version of "Advent Rising," Ascension Reborn, will utilize Novint's patented 3D touch technology allowing players to feel and control the game's arsenal of firepower, vehicular combat, and superhuman powers within a visually imaginative, intergalactic story.
"'Advent Rising' is a perfect game for integration with the Falcon. Many of the gameplay mechanics were challenging to implement with traditional videogame controllers, but the Falcon takes those advanced concepts to a new level," said Tom Anderson, Novint CEO. "We are excited both about adding such a powerful title to our line-up and working with a great publisher like Majesco."
"'Advent Rising's' masterful approach to graphics and game play mechanics coupled with the tremendous literary vision of Orson Scott Card captivates the mind and emotions of the player," said Liz Buckley, Director of Marketing, Majesco. "Adding the sense of touch into 'Advent Rising' brings the Advent universe to life in a new way and makes the epic experience that much more immersive for the player."
In "Advent Rising," a common legend pervades the galaxy -- that of a powerful, ancient race that will one day unite the universe. Millions of cultures from vastly distant worlds revere and hallow these mythological beings known as Humans. One race, the Seekers, know Humans actually exist and are threatened by their potential power. Under the guise of benevolent explorers, the Seekers travel throughout the galaxy in a desperate attempt to eradicate any Human society they unearth.
Players assume the role of Gideon Wyeth, a remnant of the last human outpost, on the brink of discovering the incredible powers that lay dormant within him. It is these powers the Seekers are so desperate to suppress.
Novint's touch-enabled, PC version of "Advent Rising" will be available for download from N VeNT(TM), Novint's interface to Falcon games, information, software updates, unique content, and community. During the holidays, the Limited Edition Falcon is being offered by select stores for $189, a $50 instant rebate off the $239 MSRP. The Falcon is sold at J&R Music World, Fry's Electronics, CompUSA, GoGamer.com, and TigerDirect nationwide.

Enjoy!
We're continuing with previews of some of our exciting new games for the Falcon. Next up on our list is Aquatreous. Many of you have gotten a sneak peak of this game since a shorter version is included in Newton's Monkey Business. Here's an in depth description of the FULL game.
You’ve never done puzzles like this before! In this full version of Aquatreous, you will toss colorful blocks to complete nearly 200 underwater 3D brainteasers. Place three or more shapes of the same color together and they will disappear from the environment and reveal the next color. Look at upcoming colors to plot your strategy towards victory. All the while, you’ll be able to actually feel the weight of the blocks and the force of the waves as you glide the pieces into place. Enjoy eight unique game modes, a variety of different block types, and four characters with different skills. Relax with Mission mode (no timer), turn up the heat in the Timed Challenge mode, challenge your wits with Puzzle mode, and if you're stuck, the In-game Help feature will guide you through all puzzle levels. Use quick thinking and the intuitive Falcon controls to solve the riddles of Aquatreous.
You can get the full version of the game for $24.95 via N VeNT or at www.novint.com. Keep your eyes peeled for this game. It should be joining our lineup VERY soon! What's your favorite minigame in Newton's Monkey Business? Let us know below!
