Player One Scrum Down With International Rugby Sevens

Author: Player One

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

London, 2 February 2006 - Player One Limited, leading global publisher of sporting games and content for mobile phones, are delighted to announce the launch of their new International Rugby Sevens mobile game, released for the beginning of this season's RBS Six Nations tournament which kicks off this weekend. This sure-fire hit has been designed and produced by Jon Hare and his team, designers of the iconic 1990's football game Sensible Soccer.

In International Rugby Sevens, tackle, pass and scrum your way to glory in this fast-paced rugby game. The intuitive control system will get you tackling like Martin Corry, passing like Brian O'Driscoll and kicking like Jonny Wilkinson in no time. The cool "aftertouch" feature allows you curl and loft kicks into touch or between the posts.

The RBS Six Nations kicks off on Saturday, with current holders Wales facing 2003 World Cup winners England. England will be looking to avenge their narrow 11-9 defeat at the hands of last year's Grand Slam champions.

Pete Russell, Managing Director for Player One, commented: "The release of the International Rugby Sevens game is yet further testament to Player One's relentless ambition to offer the best in sporting content for mobile. With our timely release strategy and quality of the game, we expect this to be a huge success particularly with the 2006 RBS Six Nations just around the corner."

International Rugby Sevens will be available to download from the Vodafone and Orange wap portals from today and tomorrow respectively. The game will also be available to download from www.partymob.com and www.mob.tv/games.

"International Rugby Sevens" is just one of a range of high quality licensed titles set for release this year. Recent and forthcoming releases include "Mike Tyson Boxing", "Darren Clarke Matchplay Golf", "Jenson Button Racing", "Young Bond - Silverfin" and "World Pool Championship (3D)", featuring world class players including Earl 'The Pearl' Strickland.
