Just an update, no one updated this post since June 2015 and these guys are still going strong and seem to be increasing the scam.
After getting approached by a rep @ a meetup for game developers, a smooth talker mentioned they were looking for game developers and wanted to see who was interested. I investigated and found nothing at first just this post (and I thought and hoped you guys were wrong [i'm looking for work]), but was suspicious of all of the pics and no new games were released, so I google image searched the pics by clipping portions of the pictures and found all that I needed. So when I commented on their Instagram picture, they just blocked me LOL. So I figured I would write my comment here because they can't delete it.
So here is just some of what I found...
Thanks to Google Image search, I found that they fake their games promos, all but the Duck Boy Adventures and the stop smoking apps. I give them credit, they have a good photoshop person and came up with cool game names Cyber Slacker, Roof Hoppers, Meet Jack, The Squad (supposed to be release on Aug 10th - but a No Show) is really screen scrapes of a game called Island Defenders (the fourth screen capture on https://www.alawar.com/game/islands-defense/ is the left side of their promo) and is free to play online.
Their cool looking game, Technika 808 is really called a character called Skull Bunny, created by a guy in Brazil, just inverted on the vertical axis and smoke added to the cigar:
here are some other sites they took images from:

http://webneel.com/3d-cartoon-character-designs
http://webneel.com/fullimage/6326/3d-graphics-character-design%20(1)
Their promo material is fake too.
Check this out:
Atari UK Fake, girls on their twitter, FB, and on their site:

The original pic is from a company called VKV Groep:
So in the end you were all correct, I'm still jobless, but I didn't get scammed. I hope no one else gets scammed and finds this post. I'm not sure how Atari (www.atari.com) will do about this fake company using their name and logo & TM.

Found another one, "The Squad" game the left side is a game called "Island Defense" and the commando looking guy is actually from a game called Agent Anonymous – Special Agents on a Secret Mission By Johannes Metzler (https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/agent-anonymous-special-agents/id981455559?mt=8) and a few of his other games (https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/army-one-soldiers-vs-aliens/id897395218?mt=8 , https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/assault-underworld-island/id994614198?mt=8 , https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/fortress-fighters-island-ghosts/id985028563?mt=8). The fake atari up their game with a new image: https://www.instagram.com/p/BJSpONHAvE9/?taken-by=atari_games but it did help me find the Agent Anonymous and the other games, LOL
I notified Johannes hopefully he can do something.
