Online Gaming Takes A Whole New Direction
Since the advent of the internet, games have been synonymous
with going online. But, until now, it has been limited to
casino-style, role-playing and kid's games. Now, with the
release of The Country Club's Golden Fairway FX, all that has
changed.
Golden Fairway FX is an inter-active online golf game that
allows players to compete for real prizes (cash and merchandise)
in tournament-style online play. These features add a whole new
dimension to the online gaming experience. Not only does it
offer substantial prizes but, unlike casino-style games, it also
offers the average person a chance to pit their skills against
equally ranked competitors. And in our competitive and sports
minded society, this is a balm for those frustrated "arm-chair
golfers" who wish they could compete, but never had the chance.
Plus, at this time of year, golfers will particularly appreciate
a way to "stay in the game" without having to stand out in the
cold.
And, right now, a chance to help in a charitable cause, too.
Between January 17, 2006 and May 1, 2006 a special Marissa
Medical Relief Benefit Tournament is being held to help Marissa
and her family cope with the substantial expenses of a much
needed back operation for the 14-year-old girl. This will be
Marissa's third operation in the last two years and also
requires extensive, daily hydrotherapy for some time afterwards.
The expenses for the whole treatment are exhaustive and this
benefit will help defray them for her family.
For the sake of the benefit, this tournament ONLY will be held
longer than most and, to help as possible, offers more modest
prizes than usual, though there will be a bonus prize for
"highest donation". Considering the nature of this very special
tournament, the competitors will be more than happy to overlook
this.
Typical tournaments are 2 to 4 weeks long, allowing participants
ample time to enter their best scores in the leaderboard,
without delaying prize awards. Prizes include the chance to win
purses such as $50,000 and $100,000, new luxury cars and
vacation vouchers.
But even more so, the real attraction of this game is the spirit
of true competition in the online game arena. Any sports
enthusiast who has enjoyed playing computer games or has wished
to play against friends, but never had the chance, can do so
now. Conversely, the game also offers the non-competitor the
option to forego the tournaments and play alone or with their
own friends.
Playing the game, too, is reasonably priced, costing only $19.95
for the downloaded game, which includes an unlimited amount of
9-hole games and two 18-hole tournaments. Plus, there is a
selection of courses to choose from, as well as a "trial
version" located at the Play The Game link, in the byline,
below. For those who do wish to participate further in
tournaments, "e-greens-fees" vary.
And, for those not interested in golf, The Country Club plans to
release two other competition-style inter-active games later
this year: a competitive Soccer game and a Race-Car Driving
game.
Besides the impact this game will have on the gaming community,
The Country Club is currently offering distributorships to those
interested in promoting this product themselves. This offering
is backed by the parent company, MVP Online, an 11-year-old
online gaming company, that has put together a winning
combination of a forced, compressed MLM matrix, a
company-sponsored national television advertising campaign and
top-level management support geared to help each distributor
fulfill their potential. With the online gaming industry in its
infancy and this unique new offering, The Country Club will
prove to be a major player in the marketing world, too.
