Rockstar Games Ships E-Rated Table Tennis On Xbox 360

You might not expect this kind of a next-generation title for the Xbox 360, and even more so when it's being published under Rockstar Games' notorious label. But as long as they manage to shock us... I suppose the end justifies the means. So here we have it: Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis, the first full-priced ping-pong game for the Xbox 360, freshly packed and shipped to North American stores by Take-Two Interactive.

Developed by Rockstar San Diego, Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis is supposed to be this perfectly focused, addictive experience that features 11 playable characters from around the world, over 15 international arenas and supports up to 8 player tournaments via Xbox Live.

"Rockstar's title is intense, fast and engaging" and "comes closer to replicating the feel of the real-life sport than maybe any sports game in history," said IGN.com, while TeamXbox.com named it "Sports Game of the Show" at E3 2006.

Table Tennis will reach European retail shelves on May 26th for a price of €39.99 (£29.99 in the UK) and, needless to say, the game is rated "E" for Everyone.
