- Company Expands Exclusive Games Portfolio, Collaborates with SEGA on "Virtua Tennis Challenge" -
SAN FRANCISCO, March 6, 2012 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) today announced the addition of four high-profile games to the Snapdragon(® )GamePack, which contains more than 100 featured games for Snapdragon-enabled, Android-based smartphones and tablets.
Consumers can access these new titles through Snapdragon GameCommand(TM), which is available for download to most commercial Snapdragon-powered Android devices via the Android Marketplace. Snapdragon( )GameCommand enables mobile users to quickly discover and download the latest Snapdragon featured, enhanced and exclusive games. It also enables users to organize and launch all their favorite games in one place, and it delivers the latest gaming news from top gaming news sites.
The new games include:
-- "The Reem" - a mixed martial arts (MMA) game from Khaeon Gamestudio
featuring three-time UFC champion Alistair "The Reem" Overeem. "The
Reem" will be released in early April exclusively on Snapdragon devices
for a year. The game will also use AllJoyn(TM), the proximity-based,
peer-to-peer application development framework developed by Qualcomm
Innovation Center Inc., taking MMA fighting to a new level.
-- "Reign of Amira" - a game designed and developed by Qualcomm's in-house
gaming studio, where Princess Amira battles her enemies to retain the
lost glory of the Desert Kingdom. "Reign of Amira" will showcase the
latest graphics and gaming capabilities of the Snapdragon S4 Pro
processor and its integrated Adreno® 320 GPU. Adreno 320 enables full
utilization of the Snapdragon S4 quad CPUs, with the ability to render
advanced gaming effects and higher resolution content faster. The game
will be exclusive to Snapdragon devices running on Android and will be
available to users for free later this year.
-- "The Ball" - a highly anticipated game from Tripwire Interactive, which
will be released in March 2012. "The Ball" is already popular within
the PC space - having won PC Gamer's 2010 Action-Adventure Game of the
Year award - and debuts for the first time on mobile via Epic Games'
Unreal Engine 3. "The Ball" features Snapdragon's integrated Adreno GPU
with high-resolution visuals and will be first available to Snapdragon
devices running on Android for six months.

console game from gaming pioneer SEGA®. The game will be available in
March 2012 and is optimized on Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor for the

graphics.
GameCommand is currently available in North America, with plans to introduce the application in other global markets in the coming months.
Qualcomm works closely with developers of the Snapdragon GamePack games to fully maximize the power of Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors and their embedded Adreno GPUs to bring a better gaming experience to mobile users.
