February 27,
2008 -
Majesco
Entertainment
Company
(NASDAQ:
COOL), an
innovative
provider of
video games
for the mass
market,
today
announced it
has shipped
Blokus
Portable:
Steambot
Championship
for the PSP®
system.
Developed by
IREM, Blokus
Portable
brings the
highly
successful
board game
to the PSP®
system with
a winning
combo that
includes the
original
four-player
Blokus,
two-player
Blokus
Travel/Duo
and the
endearing
anime
characters
from
Steambot
Chronicles.
"The PSP®
system
version of
Blokus
captures the
same
exciting
strategic
play that
has helped
its board
game
counterparts
build a
worldwide
fan base of
three
million
players,"
said Gui
Karyo,
Executive
Vice
President of
Operations,
Majesco. "We
think the
consumer-friendly
price point
coupled with
the
award-winning
board game
content is a
perfect mix
of value and
addictive
gameplay."
The rules of
Blokus are
simple: Each
player
places
his/her
pieces on
the board in
turn,
ensuring
that pieces
of the same
color touch
at one or
more
corners, but
never along
the sides.
The
objective is
to
strategize
and place as
many pieces
as you can
before your
opponent/s
beats you to
it. Based on
the same
basic rules
and
intuitive
gameplay
that earned
the board
game 26
prestigious
awards,
Blokus
Portable
allows up to
16 people to
play in ad
hoc wireless
mode, or up
to three
friends to
play
simultaneously
using one
Universal
Media Disc (UMD™)
in the ad
hoc game
sharing
mode. Blokus
Portable
also lets
players
customize
their own
character
and unlock
18
additional
characters
from the
Steambot
Chronicles
series.
Blokus
Portable:
Steambot
Championship
is rated E
for Everyone
and is now
available on
the PSP®
system for a
suggested
retail price
of $19.99.
