March 25 - AGENCY WARS FROM SGN REDEFINES MOBILE MULTIPLAYER GAMES
Social Gaming Primed for In-App Payment Capability and Benefits of the New iPhone OS 3.0
PALO ALTO, Calif., March 25, 2009 - SGN, the world's leading social gaming company, continues to bring breakthrough innovation to mobile gaming with its latest and most creative game, Agency Wars a spy thriller with scenario based missions. The first Massively Multiplayer Online Text Based Game, Agency Wars has an in-game economy where agents from the CIA, KGB, MI6, Mossad or MSS can buy precious items, aid other agents and improve their skills when fighting rival agencies. Agency Wars can now connect users, not just through location based messaging but through Facebook Connect on the iPhone or iPod touch, where players can see their friend's profile pictures in the game interface.
"I am incredibly excited about how far gaming on the iPhone has come since we launched on the platform in September last year. Our goal then was to create the most exciting, engaging games, while integrating innovative social gaming into the mobile world. With Facebook Connect for the iPhone or iPod touch included on our latest game Agency Wars and the phenomenally popular iBowl, this vision is truly being realized, said Shervin Pishevar, CEO of SGN.
SGN is one of the most successful game developers for the iPhone with seven original games currently available including i(fluff)friends and iBowl which has also added Facebook Connect for the iPhone and iPod Touch to its functionality, and over 10 million downloads of this suite of SGN games.
"Agency Wars is SGN's most advanced and polished game to date bringing features traditionally associated with MMORPG's to the iPhone and with the anticipated release of OS 3.0 for iPhone, Agency Wars stands to be a pacesetter for mobile social gaming, continued Shervin. "In-game currency allows gamers to purchase rare items, passports and our development team has created technology that lets gamers engage in joint missions with other agents and against other agencies. I am proud to say that it also incorporates our most sophisticated location based game play to date: agents can set traps for enemies or leave gifts for friends in real world locations.
