Kalador announces first networked mobile phone games

Vancouver, B.C. - Expanding the boundaries of wireless possibilities, Kalador Entertainment Inc. today announced the public release of EmpathyTM and Kalador TriviaTM, networked games for Internet-enabled mobile phones. "Networked games, particularly multiplayer games, are the next step in the evolution of mobile entertainment," explained Richard Mosher, President and CEO of Kalador Entertainment Inc.

Unlike traditional embedded games found on some phones today, networked games reside on the mobile network and can be played from Internet-enabled mobile phones. As new games are released, they can be played immediately without upgrading the phone.

EmpathyTM is targeted at young women and provides an opportunity to explore and discover relationships and feelings with friends while playing a cooperative, stimulating, and fun game. Kalador TriviaTM allows participants to test their knowledge in multiple categories against the results of others worldwide. These games are currently available for free public use via the Kalador mobile phone game portal at www.kalador.com/wap. Details on Kalador's complete portfolio of games is available at the main website, www.kalador.com.

"Kalador has achieved a significant milestone and we are proud of what we have accomplished," said Mosher. "Our game server technology, game content and extensive wireless experience allow us to offer a compelling wireless game portal solution. Our next step is to execute on our rollout plans and - in conjunction with our wireless game portal partners - to ensure that Kalador games are available to gamers anytime, anywhere."
