Stardock Entertainment and Dreamcatcher Interactive have reached an agreement to bring many of Dreamcatcher's best games to Stardock's Total Gaming digital-distribution service.

In the coming weeks, hit titles like Painkiller, Hegemonia and Aura: The Fate of Ages will join the library of games available, where fans can buy without the hassles of intrusive copy protection.

In 2003, Stardock established itself as a pioneer in digital distribution by making Galactic Civilizations the first product ever to launch simultaneously at retail and online; and it further cemented that position when it launched TotalGaming.net, the world's first online digital-distribution system. Today, TotalGaming.net is home to more than 70 games, from big-budget hits to acclaimed gems from independent developers.

"We are putting a lot of resources into expanding the product line-up at TotalGaming.net, and we're really excited to begin what we hope will be a long and prosperous relationship with Dreamcatcher Interactive," said Brian Clair, Director of Publishing at Stardock Entertainment. "We look forward to having Dreamcatcher, JoWooD and the Adventure Company bring even more exciting new titles to TotalGaming.net, along with a number of their past hits."
