New York, NY, May 12, 2011 – It was the moment the world cheered – with
over two billion people watching across the globe, the image of Prince
William and Kate Middleton enjoying their first public kiss is sure to
become one of the most iconic images of 2011.

Now Kinect for Xbox 360 owners can make their own Royal Wedding dreams

heart of one of the most watched television events in history.

Available free for Yoostar 2 , the Royal
Wedding scene enables gamers and fans of the royal family to step into
the shoes of Prince William and/or Kate Middleton on the balcony of
Buckingham Palace. Simply use the magic of Yoostar 2 to replace both
William and/or Kate to create your own memorable scene – then share it
via Yoostar Playground, YouTube and Facebook.

“This free download is a very special and unique offering to our
community and one of the many great reasons to buy Yoostar 2 now. Taking
such an iconic piece of history, such as the Royal Wedding and allowing
gamers, movie fans, and lovers of the British royal family to become
Prince William or Kate Middleton is just incredible,” said Nicholas
Reichenbach, Chief Content Officer of Yoostar Entertainment Group.
“Bringing this unique piece of content to Yoostar 2 and Yoostar

A gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future where the sport of boxing has gone high-tech, Real Steel stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.

REAL STEEL is directed by Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum franchise and Date Night).
