LOS ANGELES - March 25, 2009 - Nexon America Inc. ( www.nexon.net), a world leader in free online games, today announced it will debut "Nut Shot," a new interactive feature for its widely popular first-person shooter game Combat Arms. "Nut Shot," which went live today, allows players to earn score instant kills for shooting the nether regions of their male opponents.

"We are constantly striving to bring new and exciting game elements to our fans, elements that resonate beyond traditional FPS game play," said Min Kim, vice president of marketing for Nexon America. "Nut Shot is an amusing and challenging addition to the arsenal of features in Combat Arms - designed to enhance the gaming experience through increased interactivity, exceptional entertainment value, and of course, humor."
Providing Combat Arms with a unique, comical dimension, Nut Shots are celebrated in game with a large graphic of exploding walnuts.
