GTIP Launches in Germany

For Immediate Release



LONDON - 7th June 2006 - AlienPants Ltd (www.alienpants.com) is pleased to announce that the first implementation of the GTIP premium SMS Hints, Tips and Cheats service for PC and Console Games has launched in Germany.

Papercut Ltd, publishers of GamePlayer magazine in the UK and a long-term licensee of the GTIP service are currently promoting the TIPPS keyword in several of their publications in Germany. In addition, a second keyword, SPIEL, will be launched in Germany in the coming weeks.

"GTIP has always been available anywhere at almost any time, so you can find out the specific cheat, hint or tip you need while you're playing the game," said Tom Gordon, CEO of AlienPants. "With the launch of GTIP in Germany, German gamers can enjoy the same immediate and personalised access to game hints, tips and cheats as is currently available to UK gamers."

"The GTIP service has been a useful and, more importantly, popular service for our readers since we signed up in 2004." said Russ Ware, Editorial Director, Papercut Ltd. "We have been looking for a similar service to promote in our range of German language titles for some time, so the news that AlienPants had developed such a service was perfect timing."

Access to GTIP in Germany is via the TIPPS keyword on the German shortcode 81444. Each answer received costs 0.99 plus standard operator charges.
