Amp'd Mobile To Unveil Innovative Mobile Games PhoneTag And Homeland Security At E3 2006
Bringing the Hottest Mobile Gaming Action to Subscribers Nationwide, Amp'd Mobile and GameSpot will Mobilecast Live to Handsets from E3
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Los Angeles, CA (May 9, 2006) - Continuing
to push the envelope by offering unique content to 18-to-35
year olds, Amp'd Mobile is dedicated to leading the mobile
gaming market by providing cutting edge games for Amp'd
handsets. At E3 2006, Amp'd Mobile will showcase its latest
mobile games and exclusive programs including:
· PhoneTag
· Homeland Security
· Games Connect
· Amp'd Loyalty Rewards Program
Amp'd Mobile, along with partner LivePlanet, will offer
gamers an exclusive sneak peak at the highly anticipated game
PhoneTag. The first massively multiplayer wireless game
(M.M.W.G.) using location based services (LBS), PhoneTag uses
wireless technology to pit players against each other in a
spy-themed game played in the real world for cash and prizes.
At E3, 30 players will compete against each other in a live
game where they become both the hunter and hunted. This
groundbreaking game will be seen first hand by the masses at
E3, with 5 games to be played during the three- day
convention.
Amp'd Mobile will also introduce their first exclusive 3D
mobile game "Homeland Security: Kim Jong Il Edition" at E3.
Conceived and developed by producers at Amp'd, Homeland
Security is designed to be edgy, cool and mature with an
uncompromising storyline: the assassination of Kim Jong Il as
part of a covert mission to preemptively prevent a nuclear
strike.
"We are excited to preview Amp'd Mobile's first wholly owned
gaming property, Homeland Security, at E3 this year,"
commented Paul Nakayama senior director, content programming
at Amp'd. "The 3D graphics are on par with the top mobile 3D
game titles in the world and the game play will be intuitive
to a cell phone while retaining strong controls. With the
form factor and gaming limitations of a mobile handset in
mind, Homeland Security utilizes simple but innovative key
commands to control Axel Hunter, a covert special forces
operative with orders to take out North Korea's leader, Kim
Jong Il."
In addition to offering unique gaming content, Amp'd Mobile
has created an over-arching and exclusive gamer community
"Games Connect." Powered with leader boards, tournaments,
buddy lists and ratings, active gamers will be seduced into
this exclusive "club," which allows gamers access to special
Amp'd benefits- such as loyalty rewards points.

GameSpot, a leading source of trusted gaming news and
reviews, will provide live video coverage of E3 on the Amp'd
Mobile Games Channel May 10-12.
