today that its retail point of sale division, Somerset Entertainment is
launching an innovative casual games offering, complete with interactive

agreement with the leading developer, producer and publisher of casual
games, Big Fish Games Inc ("Big Fish Games").

well-established competency at developing and selling products relevant
to our target demographic of women aged 30 to 45," said Lorne Abony,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Mood Media. "We have a
tremendous opportunity to leverage our retail network and grow our
business by providing a broader array of products and services that
enhance women's leisure time. We believe that Mood Media's partnership
with Big Fish Games is in line with this strategy, and will be a hit
with both our retail clients and their customers."
"Our award-winning games appeal to a very broad audience and are an
excellent match for Mood Media's widely available interactive displays,"
said Jeremy Lewis, president and chief executive officer of Big Fish
Games. "With this partnership, we will further expand our global
audience through placement at stores like Bed Bath & Beyond and Joanne's
Fabrics - and Mood Media's customers will discover our games as a source
of relaxing, fun, interactive entertainment."
Under the terms of the agreement, Mood Media will have access to ten of
Big Fish Games' most popular games, including the Mystery Case Files(R)
franchise. Mystery Case Files is widely known for its role in
establishing what has become the casual games industry's most prevalent
genre: hidden object games. Big Fish Games is the largest developer,
