Texas Hold’em with Phil Hellmuth is out now for Windows Mobile and BlackBerry phones. Originally published on many major carriers by Oasys Mobile, Concrete Software brings this popular game to smartphones.
Texas Hold’em has been a poker phenomenon. It is played in homes and on TV around the world. Phil Hellmuth is known as one of the best poker players in the world, winning his first World Series of Poker title at age 24, the youngest person to ever accomplish such a feat. Phil now holds 11 World Series of Poker titles.
Texas Hold’em with Phil Hellmuth has already been a hit on such carriers as AT&T, Verizon, Alltel, Sprint, and T-Mobile. The new smartphone version will allow more of the carriers’ subscribers to play this best-selling game.
PBA® Bowling is out right now for mobile phones. The new mobile game is being released on most of the current mobile phones and also includes smartphones running Windows Mobile and BlackBerry operating systems.
PBA Bowling includes 11 of the top PBA stars, 3D graphics that follow the ball down the lane, and cutting edge mobile motion technology on many of the phones to simulate real bowling motions. The game also includes 5 bowling locations, 5 types of lane oil patterns, and 3 different game types.
The game is being released worldwide with a big marketing push that starts with the GEICO PBA Team Shootout hosted by Six Flags. The shootout airs on ESPN, and will feature 7-8 telecasts that have a spot promoting the new game, a first for a mobile game on a major network.
Concrete Software has signed a worldwide agreement with the Professional Bowlers Association® (PBA) to produce and distribute a mobile bowling game under the PBA brand. PBA Bowling™ will be released in June 2008 worldwide just in time for the PBA Team Shootout Hosted by Six Flags which will be aired on ESPN.
PBA Bowling will be built with cutting edge technology including 3D graphics and mobile motion technology (the option to use real motion with the mobile handset to roll the bowling ball). Motion technology utilizes your mobile device’s camera to detect movements and emulates a real throw, similar to the Wii remote. The game will also include 11 of the top PBA bowlers including today’s top stars like Norm Duke, Pete Weber and Tommy Jones.
“We are very pleased to be teaming up with Concrete Software to produce the first PBA video game of its kind,” PBA Commissioner and CEO Fred Schreyer said. “This is a great opportunity to showcase not only the game of bowling and the PBA but to also have some of the superstars of the PBA featured so that fans across the world can put themselves on the lanes with Pete Weber, Sean Rash and others.”
“Bowling games have always done well in the mobile market which makes it very exciting to be working with the premier brand in bowling” said Keith Pichelman, CEO of Concrete Software. “It’s exciting to be able to combine our knowledge of building games and the PBA’s long history of bowling.”
