Planet Crashers

Cartoony game characters back the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Austin, TEXAS -- February 4, 2011 - UTV True Games, an international publisher of multi-player online games wants fans to know that Planet Crashers are clearly Steelers fans even if the entire UTV True Games team isn't!  Planet Crashers, the upcoming 3D social network online game (coming soon to Browser, iPhone and iPad), is a humorous cartoon style competitive game featuring amusing battles and collaborative play across multiple platforms.  Players can visit www.planetcrashers.com during Super Bowl commercials to learn more about the game. 

"I don't care who wins . as long as it is the Steelers," said Jeff Lujan, CEO of UTV True Games.  "We want everyone on our development team to feel supported and as long as they're Steelers fans they have my full support."

Angela Gillespie, Global Brand Manager at UTV True Games disagrees adding, "I DO care who wins and it had better not be the Steelers."

Lujan has promised not to penalize Gillespie for her team choice.  He admitted not everyone was exposed to the best football teams growing up and therefore it isn't their fault when they root for the wrong team.

Planet Crashers is a wildly fun yet competitive game that lets players completely customize their cute characters from a wide range of styles including charming little quarterbacks with really big heads!

Characterization is half the fun and players can let loose with unique characteristics, crazy expressions and choose from a huge arsenal of weapons from footballs to frying pans!
