immediate availability of the Gigex Top50, a new Internet download service
providing PC users guaranteed delivery of the most popular large game demos
from GamePower.com.

the leading Internet fulfillment service providing end-users guaranteed

"Gigex is going to put an end to gamers' nightmares," says GamePower.com
editor Paul "The Game Master" Hyman. "Many of our users have difficulty
downloading these monster-sized demos. Gigex solves the problem and adds
value to our customers' experiences and helps us generate increased traffic
and user loyalty. Quite frankly, Gigex rules!"
"PC gamers have a tough time successfully downloading very large demos over

distribution of demos drives product sales. This service is a big benefit
to our customers, the game publishers, and their game consumers."
