Rockpool Developed Worms Gets 10 Out Of 10 From Total Mobile Magazine
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Manchester, United Kingdom -- 2nd May 2006
-- Rockpool Games is delighted to receive the impressive and
rare ten-out-of-ten review score for Worms which the company
developed for THQ Wireless.
The review which appears in Total Mobile magazine this month
reviews the very latest Worms game from Rockpool which was
recently released by THQ Wireless in order to coincide with
the launch of Worms 3D on Sony PSP and has recently topped
the mobile download charts on many carrier decks.
Although Rockpool developed Worms Golf and Worms Forts for
THQ Wireless this release marks the first 'true' Worms game
from Rockpool. Clearly Total Mobile Magazine is pleased with
the results commenting that the game, "...fixes our two
complaints about the old game - lack of weapons and lack of
worms. You now get the more regular four per team and pretty
much the whole gamut of weaponry at your disposal, which
makes for a much more interesting scrap."
They add, "It's not often we consider games to be virtually
flawless, but this one earns our highest praise."
Rockpool's Managing Director, Paul Gouge, said, "It a great
testament to the quality of the team here in Manchester and
it further cements Rockpool's position as one of the very
best independent developers in the mobile space".
