Multiplayer Games on 3G Network

Hutchison 3G UK is enabling customers to be able to play the multiplayer versions of Synergenix's games Lock 'n Load Combat Arena and Rally Pro Contest MP on their handsets. Lock 'n Load Combat Arena and Rally Pro Contest MP are being offered as a free download to Smartphone owners on the 3 network. Joining a multiplayer game costs the player US$0.88. These games use 3's billing system to pass this cost straight onto the player, adding it onto their monthly bill, or debiting it from their phone's credit.

Martin Forsling, Chief Executive Officer of Synergenix, commented "This is a UK first, and could possibly be the first of its kind globally. This distinctive payment model encourages new players to pick up and play games on their mobile handsets. It gives the customer the power to choose, and ultimately ensures for a more rewarding mobile gaming experience."

Oscar Clark, 3 Games Product Manager, "3 is recognised as the leader in 3G gaming, setting the agenda for services that are immediate, accessible and fun. Both Lock 'n Load Combat Arena and Rally Pro Contest are fantastic titles which offer players a very high quality multiplayer gaming experience. We're convinced that the combination of a great game and the payment model will attract a very broad audience of experienced gamers and new players alike."
