Gizmondo’s Got Balls
Gizmondo Europe Ltd subsidiary of Jacksonville, Florida-based Tiger Telematics Inc (other OTC, TGTL) announces three more game title releases; the hugely addictive Sticky Balls™, which was shown for the first time at E3, superb future-sport arcade game, Ball Busters™, and beach-based Pocket Ping Pong™ 2005 from the masters of mobile gaming, Fathammer.

Exclusive to Gizmondo, Sticky Balls is a totally original game that is as easy to play as it is fiendishly difficult to master. The player uses a cue to hit, bounce and ricochet balls of different colours around arenas and multi-tiered platforms until they hit a like colour. Once the objective is complete, that set disappears.

Ball Busters is a fast-paced future sport that plays like a game of squash, but the court has been replaced with fiendishly difficult arenas much more challenging than the standard four walls in play.
