InfoSpace | Friday 11th March 2005/... Leading mobile content provider Infospace (NASDAQ:INSP) celebrates today as its critically acclaimed mobile game 'Pub Pool' pots first place in the UK mobile game charts.
The game, developed by Infospace's UK based studio IOMO, has been a consistently good performer rarely moving from the Top Ten since the Official Mobile Java Download Chart ® ELSPA was launched in April 2004. It has enjoyed a phenomenal popularity surge since last month, shooting up six places to pole position for the January chart released today.
John Chasey, Infospace's games development director and head of the IOMO studio commented: "The mobile games market is currently focused on the casual gamer who wants a game with pick-up-and-play immediacy. Our Pub Games range is perfect for this, something which the chart success of Pub Pool evidently demonstrates."
'Pub Pool' faithfully recreates one of the nation's favourite sports in an authentic public house setting, from the dodgy house rules to the running commentary from the landlord. Players test their skills against one of the CPU controlled opponents or challenge their mates with the superb multiplayer option, which allows players to compete head-to-head in 'hot-seat' mode passing the phone to each other between turns.
