MARINA DEL REY, Calif.-(Business Wire)-January 14, 2009 - Six Degrees Games, Inc., a video game and virtual world publisher, today announced that its sports-themed virtual world, Action AllStars™ (www.actionallstars.com), reached more than 100,000 registered users (“Athletes”) less than two weeks after becoming available to the public on December 12, 2008. Establishing a new standard for safe, free-to-play online entertainment for sports fans of all ages, Action AllStars and its partners, which include the National Basketball Association (NBA.com) and Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLB.com), invite visitors to create an Athlete avatar, interact with friends, play free games, and compete in daily Challenges based on real-world scores and stats.
“The initial success of ActionAllStars.com provides our team with a great sense of achievement, especially at a time when we are still aggressively developing several key features of our world,” said Minard Hamilton, CEO and co-founder of Six Degrees Games, Inc., along with Ben Jones, President. “The extraordinary response at this early juncture shows the appeal of not only our creative concept for this new form of sports-themed entertainment, but also the strength and consumer demand that our league partners at both the NBA and MLB add to the experience.”
Action AllStars contains no advertising and is free to visitors from around the world. A subscription membership is available, however, which provides access to additional features that enrich the overall experience. In an effort to keep the site safe for all ages, a parent's e-mail address is required to complete registration and to activate an individual account. Parents are also able to create their own personalized account via the Parent Account tool, which provides access to their child’s Action AllStars activity and allows the parent to select options such as chat mode type.
