Rockstar Games Present Table Tennis- Coming May 23^rd.

Official Site Update And Exclusive New York & London Pre Release Tournament Invite.

Scant weeks remain until Rockstar's one-on-one stunner for the Xbox 360 hits shelves worldwide. Start exercising those thumbs and sharpening your reflexes now.

"GameSpy got to check out this new title at a low-key press event in Los Angeles recently, and frankly, Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis has the makings of a cult hit... for couch-based warfare, the build we played proved to be very fun, as matches went from friendly to heated within fifteen minutes of picking up the controllers and learning to play... this title is going to cause a lot of late nights and sleepy mornings everywhere." - GAMESPY, April 19 2006 "While a table tennis game isn't exactly what you'd expect from the company that brought us Grand Theft Auto and Manhunt, after playing a recent build, we have to say this is one incredibly fun title... Balancing accurate physics and precise controls with an easy, pick-up-and-play approachability, Table Tennis has 'party game' written all over it... Don't be surprised if this budget-priced title is one of this year's surprise hits." - GAME INFORMER, May 2006

Today, the official Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis website is updated - featuring the launch of two all-new sections.

The TRADITION section highlights Table Tennis fundamentals, including an overview of the history of the sport as well as a terminology glossary and more.

The SKILL TIPS section breaks down some of the signature strategic returns essential to putting a thrash-down on an advanced player - complete with a descriptive overview and illustrative video.

Plus an update to the PLAYERS section featuring Kumi and Mark, new shots added to the SCREENS section and more.

Throughout the spring season, Rockstar has been hosting a series of private pre-release Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis tournaments for our friends, family and business allies. Recent weeks have seen compatriots from all over NYC come through to our secret honeycomb hideout - a sweet loft in downtown Manhattan converted into a gaming lounge oasis - to duke it out in fierce 16-player tournaments. As the pizza, brews, and digitally-rendered table tennis balls flew, we relished in unleashing the unexpected joy that is Table Tennis on 'em so they could experience it firsthand for themselves. Aptly summed up by the good people at Turntable Lab: "Holy crap yeah, that was a good time." Now, we'd like to invite you, our devoted Rockstar Propaganda subscribers, to one of these private pre-release tournaments to experience it for yourselves... No sh#%!

We will be holding an exclusive Rockstar subscriber tournament in New York City within the next few weeks.

There will also be a tournament held in London exclusive to subscribers of the Rockstar UK mailing list.
