Gaming News - March 2007

San Francisco, CA (March 7, 2007) - Eidos today announced that it will publish Pocket Pool in North America for the PSP.  Pocket Pool is scheduled to ship on April 18, 2007.

From Eidos:

Pocket Pool is set to turn up the heat with a realistic billiards simulator alongside some serious eye candy. Featuring 13 different types of billiard games ranging from staples such as 8-ball and 9-ball, to pool hall classics like Black Jack, Rotation, and Snooker. No matter where your talent lies, Pocket Pool has something to keep every gamer from shooting blanks.

“Pocket Pool is a game that can stand alone as a realistic billiard simulator, however sprinkle in some sex appeal and now you have a true gaming treat,” said Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Robert Lindsey, Eidos, Inc. 

Sirus Ahmadi, president of Conspiracy Entertainment, said, “We are very excited to benefit from Eidos' established distribution network and expertise in launching the hottest new video games. Together, our companies are well-positioned to capitalize on the rapidly-growing video gaming audience throughout North America.”

Advanced AI and real world physics make Pocket Pool the most realistic simulator on the market. But the realism doesn’t stop there, thanks to a group of voluptuous vixens known as the Dream Models.  A player’s success in the pool halls will be rewarded by un-lockable videos and picture galleries sizzling with enough steam to fog up the screen on any PSP system – giving the words ‘rack ‘em up’ a whole new meaning. 

“The PlayStation Portable is a great handheld platform for mature audiences,” said Marketing Manager, Kevin Gill, Eidos, Inc.  “Pocket Pool is a game designed to tap into the desires of a dominant male audience, providing players with a fun and sexy gameplay experience.”
