PALO ALTO, Calif., July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- SGN, the largest social mobile game
developer, today announced the availability of its Vampires vs. Werewolves
game on the App Store. Vampires vs. Werewolves is a first-of-its kind,

"We continue to evolve and advance the user experience on the iPhone OS
platform with original, engaging and creative games," said SGN CEO Shervin
Pishevar. "Our goal is to create the most, innovative, entertaining games
possible while integrating the highly social aspects of gaming into the mobile
world. With the new capabilities in iPhone OS 3.0, such as in-app commerce,
our games will continue to get better, more strategic and offer new features
to gamers."

Should they choose to enter this dark labyrinthine world, users have the power
to declare allegiance to a mystical creature of the night - a werewolf or
vampire. Under the cloak of night, werewolves and vampires with specialized
and finely honed survival skills, such as 'vicious fangs' and 'blasting
howls', explore this moonlit world, embark on dark quests alone or with a team
in real-time, overcome supernatural dangers and fight fearsome creatures for
superiority and blood to rule the magical underworld. This highly inventive
game leverages the iPhone's geo-location feature so players can invite other
users in their area to join their clan.

Vampires vs. Werewolves also features a game within a game, 'Alchemy
Creation', allowing any player to arm themselves with threatening powers,
increase their vampire fangs strength to 'vicious fangs' or their werewolf's
howl decibel to a 'blasting howl' and wreak havoc among enemies. Users can
visit the auction house for help and guidance in their journeys as well as
pick up rare abilities that will get them ahead in the game.

The game will be offered in a free, 'lite' version as well as a premium
version for $0.99 from Apple's App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or at
www.itunes.com/appstore/
