able to capture the spirit of classic playground dodgeball that we all grew up
with, integrate a defined set of rules known in the East and West, and take it
to Xbox LIVE,” said Ken Koyama, Manager of Product Development at YUKE’S Company
of America. “Instead of meeting up on the hot playground, you can go on Xbox
LIVE Arcade and blast your friend with ball from the comfort of your couch.”
