Twain Harte, Calif—June 17th, 2010— O-Games™ and PGA legend John “The Lion” Daly captivated crowds at E3 while demonstrating John Daly’s ProStroke Golf’s unique control system with Sony’s Move Controller.

The Move controller gives players far more control than any other golf game, allowing players to easily shape and hit realistic golf shots.

“The game is really fun and great to play,” said John Daly. “You can actually swing the club like in real life and open and close the club face to shape your shots for draws and fades. What’s really great about the game is that it will get kids and adults up off the couch and more interested in golf.”

O-Games opened the show to crowds of people desperate to see John Daly and out drive him on the John Daly Challenge Mode.

“The popularity of John Daly is amazing,” said Jim Scott, CEO of O-Games. “Our booth was packed all day with people waiting to meet ‘The Lion’ himself and see him grip the Move controller and bomb it down the fairway.”

O-Games is located in the West Hall, Booth 5544, showing all their Summer and Fall titles on Wii, DS, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 platforms.

Original and Exclusive Programming

From the beginning, PlayStation has been a pioneer in gaming and entertainment — from delivering genre-shattering exclusive games to becoming the first entertainment network on a console to offer a premiere video delivery service. In February 2010, “The Tester,” an original competitive reality series pitting 11 hopeful gamers from across the country to compete for a chance to win a position as a game tester at SCEA, debuted exclusively on PlayStation Network.

Today, following the excitement and success of the debut series, PlayStation announced that a casting call for Season 2 of The Tester is now open at http://www.thetester.com/.  Now, a new group of gamers will get a chance to compete in physical and mental challenges to win a job as an official PlayStation game tester. During this Season’s summer long casting process, there will also be an online contest that will allow at least one lucky person to be voted onto the Season 2 cast by the PlayStation Community.

For additional information on The Tester, produced by reality programming veteran 51 Minds Entertainment, and how to create a profile for a chance to be on Season 2 of The Tester, go to our casting site at http://www.thetester.com/. There is also a video featuring Season 1 winner, Will Powers (aka “Cyrus”), with some helpful tips on how to make a great profile.  More than 23,000 movies and TV episodes are currently available through PlayStation Network’s video delivery service, including HD movies from all of the major studios – 20th Century Fox, Walt Disney Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal Pictures, and Warner Bros. Additionally, exclusive original content such as programming from HBO, live sports through the MLB.TV subscription service, Qore™, an interactive video gaming magazine, and PULSE, a bi-weekly video showcase of the latest news from PlayStation, makes the PS3 system one of the most content rich entertainment platforms in the home or on the go with the PSP system.

PlayStation®Home

Since the launch of PlayStation Home exclusively on the PS3 system in 2008, it has evolved beyond a social network into a rapidly evolving true gaming platform. In the past year PlayStation Home’s user base has more than doubled to 14 million worldwide. Today, users spend an average of 70 minutes per visit, playing games, attending and organizing special events, watching videos, listening to music, meeting new friends, and launching into games together.

In addition to millions of PS3 fans discovering all that PlayStation Home has to offer, game developers and publishers are also recognizing the value of directly interacting with the gaming community to increase and extend consumer interest in their game titles via new mediums of game play.  SCEA has partnered with nearly 30 brands to develop virtual environments and game-specific content for PlayStation Home, including Activision, Electronic Arts, Capcom Entertainment, NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc., THQ and UBISOFT, and is continuing to welcome new and eager developers onto the platform as well.

With the launch of Sodium One, PlayStation Home’s first massively multiplayer online (MMO) game space, in December 2009, PlayStation Home further evolved into a true social gaming platform, complete with both snack-size mini games and extended gaming experiences to share with both existing friends and new friends met within PlayStation Home.

Today, PlayStation Home offers gamers more than 100 ready to play games, 50 discreet public and private spaces to experience, and over 5000 virtual items to collect, with new store fronts available from LucasArts, Lockwood, Loot, Activision and Disney.
