San Francisco, CA. March 11, 2008. Outspark, the leading online game publisher and operator, and PlaySpan, the first publisher-sponsored(TM) in-game commerce(TM) network, today announced an agreement to jointly provide a secured player-to-player virtual goods marketplace for Outspark games. The integration of the PlaySpan marketplace will provide gamers with an efficient and open market for virtual goods within their favorite Outspark games.

"We know that gamers enjoy trading online, so we are responding to the need for a quality, secured commerce network," said Susan Choe, Founder & CEO, Outspark. "PlaySpan is leading the category with its in-game technology and player-to-player micro-transaction network, and we are pleased to be working with them to provide a great user experience."

Outspark games include the fantasy role-playing titles Fiesta and Secret of the Solstice. Within each game, players create and guide a character through a richly detailed and engaging world. While the games are free to download and play, the experience is further enhanced through the purchase of premium in-game items like clothing, pets and other accessories players can use to enhance their virtual characters.

PlaySpan's accessible in-game widget technology will make the buying and selling of virtual items between users fun and easy while allowing players to stay in the game throughout transactions. The integrated service will also provide Outspark users with a safe and secure environment for trading.

"Outspark is one of the fastest-growing online destinations in interactive entertainment for internet users worldwide," said Karl Mehta, Co-Founder & CEO, PlaySpan Inc. "Outspark's selection of PlaySpan is another major milestone of publisher endorsement for our market leadership in providing publisher-sponsored in-game marketplaces."
