LONDON, UK (August 6, 2003) - GMX Media today announced that it has secured the European rights to publish the 3D Fighting Game – "One Must Fall: Battlegrounds"

"This is a very exciting title, we are certain it will be a big hit with gamers across Europe.” Commented Barry Leonard CEO of GMX Media.

"We are very confident in GMX's abilities to promote and distribute thIs title. " says Judy Elam Business Manager and CEO of Diversions Publishing.

One Must Fall: Battlegrounds is a 3D online multiplayer and single player fighting game. OMF:BG represents a serious change in the philosophy of making fighting games. Instead of 2 players facing off in a small space, Battlegrounds features up to sixteen simultaneous players in huge arena's, fighting in team battles or all-out brawls!

Our goal is to free you, the player, from the restrictions of the past, and allow you to fight the way you've always wanted to. Just like your favorite martial-arts movies, you can go toe-to-toe with several opponents, use nearby objects as weapons, and integrate terrain and hazards into your fighting strategy.

We've missed an important detail: you get to do all this while piloting a huge robot.

Sometimes it's hard finding somewhere to park the thing, but overall it's worth it for the insane weapons systems and top-secret technology. There's nothing quite like opening a miniature black hole to consume your opponents, or shooting out a stream of napalm the width of a 4-lane highway.

You pilot your 'bot using a neural link, so you don't need to worry about an airbag going off in your face every time a punch or kick slips past your defenses. And best of all, you aren't liable for any dents and scrapes - after all, your sponsors are paying you to test their technology. Even if you get completely trashed, they'll replace your 'bot for the next match. Could it get any better?

Cutting-edge 3D graphic and physics engine.
Extensive melee combat system.
