Oxfordshire, 28th February - GameShadow Ltd, the leading provider of videogame and update management tools, today announces a partnership with Konami of Europe which sees GameShadow's unique update and patching software being included on all copies of 'The Regiment', which went on sale on the 17th February in Europe.

"Making it easy for gamers to get the best from their games is a priority for Konami of Europe. When we saw the GameShadow service, with its simple interface and access to all the latest patches, updates and demos, we saw a great product that we wanted to work with," said Phil McDonnell, Head of Console Division at Konami of Europe Product Development.

Tony Treadwell, CEO of GameShadow Ltd, said, "We're delighted to be working with Konami of Europe on 'The Regiment'. The game is awesome and is going to be enormously successful, and we are delighted to be paying a part in helping it to become a long-term favourite in peoples' game collection by delivering critical updates and patches the minute they are made available."
