World Cyber Games Announces
Official Titles for 2006 Competition

New regional championships in
Europe, Asia, and America also announced

The World Cyber Games Committee
today announced the eight titles that will serve as official games for the 2006
World Cyber Games. The six PC games and 2 console games includes: StarCraft®:
Brood WarTM (PC); Warcraft® 3: Frozen Throne (PC); Half-Life®: Counter-Strike
1.6 (PC); Warhammer® 40,000: Winter Assault (PC); FIFA Soccer 06 TM(PC); Need
for Speed TM: Most Wanted (PC); Dead or Alive® 4 (Xbox 360) and Project Gotham
Racing® 3 (Xbox 360).

These will serve as the official
events at the 2006 Grand Final in Monza, Italy this October. Organizers are
particularly excited by the inclusion of Project Gotham Racing on the Xbox 360
since the Grand Final event will be held at the world famous F1 Autodromo in
Monza, known throughout the racing world as the premiere racing facility on the
Formula 1 circuit.

In addition, the Counter-Strike
competition has been changed from "Source" to "1.6" to facilitate better
operation of tournaments leading up to the Grand Final. This move comes as a
result of player feedback on the World Cyber Games website following last year’s
successful event in Singapore.

Meanwhile, the World Cyber Games
Committee also announced the staging of WCG Pan-regional Championships in
Europe, Asia and the Americas, to promote the spread of the e-Sports industry
globally. Following the success of the WCG Euro Championship staged during CeBit
2005 in Hannover, Germany last year, WCG Pan-regional Championships are planned
for each region. This will allow gamers to participate in and enjoy marquee
events with the World Cyber Games throughout the year. With e-sports growing
each year, these events will also serve to enhance brand awareness for the World
Cyber Games among IT industry watchers in each region.

The WCG 2006 Euro Championship
begins March 9 at CeBit 2006 with about 200 gamers from 20 European countries.
The WCG 2006 Asian Championship is scheduled to debut at the PC Show 2006 in
Singapore, the biggest IT Exhibition in the region, in June and WCG 2006
Pan-American Championship is slated for the Electronic Gaming Show 2006 in
Mexico, the largest game show in Central and South America.

The World Cyber Games Committee will
soon announce the official rules and regulations in addition to official maps
for the preliminary rounds in each country’s respective national championship.

The WCG 2006 Grand Final will be
held October 18th through 22nd at F1 Autodromo, in Monza, Italy.
