FREMONT, Calif. and NAPLES, Fla., Nov. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Praise(R), Inc., the leader in Christian-themed, family-friendly entertainment software, and Sky Angel(R), a multi-channel provider of faith-based and family-friendly television and radio programming, today announced the debut of Sky Angel Games at http://www.skyangelgames.com/. Sky Angel Games is an online store featuring the full lineup of Digital Praise faith-based PC game products, including Dance Praise(TM) 2-the ReMix, the just-released new version of Dance Praise, Digital Praise's runaway hit dance game for the PC.

At http://www.skyangelgames.com/, Internet shoppers can easily order from the full line of Dance Praise games and accessories, as well as other Digital Praise products that include VeggieTales(R), Focus on the Family's Adventures in Odyssey(R) and Max Lucado's Hermie & Friends(TM) PC game series.

The new Sky Angel Games online store will be promoted through a full-page ad in Sky Angel's monthly newsletter sent to its television service customers, through e-mail notices and other customer-specific communications, and via links from the Sky Angel and Digital Praise corporate Web sites. In addition, Digital Praise and Sky Angel's production company, Sky Angel Productions LLC, have teamed up to produce a 30-minute infomercial for Dance Praise(TM) 2-the ReMix. Sky Angel will debut the infomercial in November on one of its owned and operated television networks, Angel One, just in time for the Christmas shopping season.

"Digital Praise is known as the true pioneer that established the faith-based, family-oriented PC gaming category. Families, churches and schools across the U.S., and around the world, know and love Digital Praise products for their entertainment, educational and moral value," said Nancy Christopher, vice president of corporate communications for Sky Angel. "Through this partnership, as well as through the establishment of Sky Angel Games, we are able to bring Digital Praise products to our Sky Angel customers and the broader public, providing even more family-friendly entertainment choices."

"Sky Angel has a large and loyal customer base that is actively seeking Christian-themed products and services. This partnership is a natural for us and should significantly extend Digital Praise's customer base," said Tom Bean, president and CEO of Digital Praise, Inc. "What's more, we look forward to the many marketing and product development possibilities made available through this new relationship."

Founded in 2003, Digital Praise is the largest developer and marketer of faith-based PC game products. Driving forward with a vision, Peter Fokos enlisted the support from Tom Bean and his brother Bill to create the company. From the outset, Digital Praise has been committed to developing and publishing high-quality software and entertainment products that are every bit as attention-grabbing, exciting and challenging as the majority of games marketed today.

Digital Praise's approach to PC game products has included hiring top-name talent from the secular gaming industry, as well as licensing and producing games based on well-known Christian and family entertainment brands such as VeggieTales, Hermie & Friends and Adventures in Odyssey. Digital Praise's number one hit, Dance Praise, is a home-grown game that has spawned an entire line of Dance Praise spin-off products.
