Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL) Releases the "Tiger Woods" of Paintball
An interactive video game and entertainment products publisher with over 24 years of experience, Majesco Entertainment Company today announced the availability of Greg Hastings Paintball 2 for Wii' and the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. As an added bonus, each version of the game includes a paintball pass (valued at $300) good for free entry and rental at select paintball fields across the country. Greg Hastings is like the Tiger Woods of the professional competition paintball scene (who knew there was such a thing), and during his 23 year paintball career, he has competed all over the world and notched many wins with championship teams such as Ground Zero,Bob Long's Ironmen, XSV and Smoke. Greg earned two Southwest Asia Campaign Medals for his time spent in the combat zone during the first Gulf War, and also received a medal for being "The best SONAR operator ever inspected." Since then, Greg has dedicated himself to creating the best-selling paintball video game franchise that bears his name, which turned out to be a perfect fit for Majesco's developers. Majesco publishes a wide range of casual and family oriented video games on Wii', Nintendo DS' and other leading systems, and product highlights have included Cooking Mama', TETRIS® Party Deluxe, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel and Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum. The company's stated business model, interesting enough for the investors out there who still care about fundamental business operations, are to "focus on games with relatively lower development costs for both console and handheld systems targeting mass market consumers", although Majesco still reported a ($.04) loss for the second quarter 2010, reported in June, compared to loss of ($.18) in the same period a year earlier. Developed by Super X Studios in collaboration with Greg Hastings himself, Greg Hastings Paintball 2 is rated E10+ and is available now for the suggested retail price of $39.99. The game will also be available on PlayStation®Network in early 2011, and you can view a trailer and find out more about the game by clicking here. New features in the game release include more than 10 single and multiplayer game modes and 62 all-new paintball fields based on actual locations around the world. The game also features three new event branches'Tournament Speedball, Recball, and Tournament Woodsball'and cutting edge gear and guns, including paint grenades and rocket launchers. Players can even become general manager of their own 10-player team composed of professional and amateur paintball players. Gamers can trade players, issue commands and use their earnings from the field to build each player's individual stats, so the overall team is that much more competitive. The better the team assembled, the more tournaments a player stands to win, providing him or her with added cash to buy new gear, players and skill upgrades. Shares of Majesco are currently trading up $.03, or about 4.5% at $.69 a share on light volume. For more information visitAbout the Author:
