Offering one of the most immersive racing experiences currently available on Verizon Wireless devices, CES attendees will have the opportunity to sample a new in-game voice chat feature customized to run on the HTC Rezound(TM) over 4G LTE. Up to three players at a time will be able to chat with one another through the Gameloft Live multiplayer option.
N.O.V.A. 2 - Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance, the sequel to the ultimate mobile sci-fi first-person shooter (FPS), invites attendees to get the most out of the multiplayer experience over 4G LTE.
