SAN MATEO, CA — The portfolio of mobile sports games from Sorrent and FOXSports.com, "widely considered the best damn handset sports games, period" according to popular gaming portal IGN.com, welcomes two new competitive mobile titles, FOX Sports Boxing and FOX Sports Racing. Both games deliver on Sorrent's promise: first-person views, unbeatable graphics, fast-paced action and unparalleled depth of gameplay. Single-player versions of the game are available now to Get It NowSM subscribers of Verizon Wireless.

Also from the recent review on IGN Wireless: "It's without hesitation that we say FOX Sports Boxing is one of the best handset games we've played since first picking up on 3G gaming. The entire package is as rock-solid as Ali's abs - everything from the visuals to the controls, which are usually the Achilles' heel of a celly game, is amazing. This is indeed a must-download."

FOX Sports Racing — which secured a score of 9.2 out of 10 on the gaming site, Wireless Gaming Review — is also a winner with reviewers. "Fox Sports Racing is, without a doubt, the most strategic racer on mobile. You'll have more to consider than just when to turn. You need to worry about when to pit in, whether you're drafting behind your opponent (letting him cut the air for you), or whether he's doing the same to you. Add to that a fairly large complement of tracks (5X), and you've got a satisfying racing experience," reported the site.

"With the launch of FOX Sports Boxing and FOX Sports Racing, Sorrent's creative talents have helped to make FOX Sports one of the most powerful brands in the mobile gaming world," said Ross Levinsohn, SVP and general manager of FOXSports.com.
