 Combat Studios was founded in August 2004 with the intention of improving the online experiences of gamers worldwide. We have created two services to accomplish our mission. Our Tour of Duty is a large-scale virtual war for a first-person shooter title. It is a pay-to-play social networking service which allows members to enjoy a game in an atmosphere replete with camaraderie. The Tour of Duty is a service for existing games and we work closely with game publishers and developers to make the experience unique and enjoyable. Combat Testing, our second service, enables game publishers and developers to securely augment their testing capabilities by tapping into a network of seasoned gamers.

The Community Language Bank, Winner of the 2006 Social Entrepreneurship Competition
http://communitylanguagebank.org
 The Community Language Bank in Somerville is a web-based community resource that allows for-profit businesses and non-profit organizations in Somerville to have short documents translated and meetings interpreted by multilingual Somerville residents and Tufts students.
The translators and interpreters that work for the Community Language Bank in Somerville are all either Somerville residents or Tufts students that have been trained by the Language Bank in the skills of translation or interpretation. The Language Bank charges for-profit businesses and non-profit organizations affordable rates for translation and interpretation services. The income generated by the Language Bank goes toward trainings, compensating translators and interpreters for their work, and further developing the Language Bank. Through this initiative, multilingual speakers learn valuable skills while offering important affordable services to businesses and organizations in Somerville, and increasing communication in the city. The Community Language Bank in Somerville is an initiative developed by the Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service at Tufts University and the Somerville Community Corporation.
