Press Release: Roundhouse Interactive adds Trish Stratus to The Game Cartel
Toronto, ON, 11/06/09 — Renowned celebrity Trish Stratus will bring her entertainment experience to The Game Cartel, as it develops the industry's first player conceived console video game. "We are so pleased that my good friend, Trish Stratus has become a part of The Game Cartel. She will bring a great new dynamic to our executive board." Says Mike Montanaro of Roundhouse Interactive.
Trish, and other entertainment and gaming personalities will act as an advisory, reviewing user submissions and ultimately deciding which ideas will be presented to The Game Cartel member community for voting and approval. Trish is excited to take part in the decision making process saying "I am very happy to be a part of The Game Cartel. I'm looking forward to working with Mike and the other Game Cartel members during the game creation."
Taking its inspiration from online games, The Game Cartel lets members conceive, develop and vote on the creation of what will eventually be commercially-available console games. Like the fan fiction-based Star Trek film, this is a historic first in the industry and will certainly lead to a more constructive and creative dialog between gamers and developers. The game is still in the development stages, but members and customers have settled on first/third person shooter format.
To be part of this unique experience, visit www.TheGameCartel.com.
The actual voting will begin in early July and run most of the year, as users piece together the platform, story line and other elements for the game, which will go on sale in time for the 2010 Christmas buying season.
The game development was officially launched to the public at E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo), June 2nd to 4th at the L.A. Convention Centre.
