SEATTLE, February 1, 2006 - Speakeasy's Gamecloud, the online gaming division of the nation's largest independent broadband services company, officially launched its beta of the Gamecloud Arena, (http://arena.gamecloud.com) a new multiplayer games on-demand service designed to provide a new and unique competitive gaming experience unlike any other service in the industry. The Gamecloud Arena service currently supports some of the most popular First Person Shooter titles available today.
The Gamecloud Arena will be served on Speakeasy's all-fiber private network on the latest hardware infrastructure and will provide a completely new service for the online gaming industry. It will allow for hundreds of thousands of users to simultaneously connect, start game servers, chat and instant message, create communities, challenge one another through tournaments and ladders, as well as provide a cheat-free environment using proprietary software, all from one easy-to-use, web-based interface.
According to Michael Mings, Speakeasy's Managing Director of the Gaming Division, this is a great opportunity to expand upon the services available to the online gaming community. "Speakeasy is proud to release this new service for online gamers world-wide. The Gamecloud Arena provides a suite of services backed by technology unlike any other for both competitive and non-competitive gamers." He also notes that the Arena, as well as other Gamecloud services, has more than multiple uses for servicing end-users. "Not only are we able to provide a key service to the broadband-enabled gamer, but we also provide a vehicle for advertisers wishing to participate in targeted ad campaigns or take advantage of our turnkey infrastructure in providing services for their own specific, targeted demographic. As a result, Speakeasy's Gamecloud is the fastest up-and-coming gaming network in the industry, serving both end-users and corporate clients."
The Gamecloud Arena will launch a series of events including gift cards, prizes, free online services, and much more. All services are free during the beta market launch and allow for users to join, create teams, and compete in multiple ladders and events. For more information, please go to www.gamecloud.com.
