Codemasters Online Gaming is pleased to announce that Sensible World of Soccer (SWOS) has been listed as one of the ten most influential games of all time at this year’s Game Developers Conference.

David Solari - Vice President of Codemasters Online Gaming commented, “‘Sensible World of Soccer is a seminal title which delivers a very pure gameplay experience. It’s fabulous to get such an accolade and we are really looking forward to bringing this classic game back on Xbox Live® Arcade and PC later this year. We think it’s important to stay true to the original and we’ll be delivering what fans of the original SWOS have been eagerly waiting for years, SWOS online multiplayer!”

Sensible World of Soccer is scheduled for launch on the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft via Xbox Live Arcade in summer 2007, with a PC version to follow thereafter. Sensible World of Soccer brings with it all the classical elements to the next generation of players.
