::HOT from Koch:: Motocross Champ Josh Hansen Selects Eileen Koch & Company for Representation

LOS ANGELES-- Eileen Koch & Company, INC. proudly announces two-time X Games motocross champion Josh Hansen as the newest addition to the company’s esteemed client roster. After making a personal decision last year to put his career on hold following the tragic loss of two close friends, Hansen announces his intention to step back into the professional arena with even more determination to defend his reigning title at this year’s Summer X Games in Los Angeles.

In January of this year, Hansen was selected by Mitch Payton to ride the West Region for Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki for the 2010 season. With inimitable drive and natural talent – inheriting the smooth riding style from his father, Donnie Hansen, former world supercross champion – Hansen’s professional campaign has placed him amongst the very best of the sport. Since stepping into the limelight of professional motocross at the age of 17, Hansen’s career has exploded, receiving top honors in the AMA Lites Class, Full Factory Ride sponsorships and back-to-back X Games victories in 2008 and 2009.

With Monster Energy and Pro Circuit Racing as sponsors and Kawasaki Motor Corp. as one of his biggest supporters, Hansen will proudly ride “green” this 2010 season as he is determined to make this his comeback year.

"Mr. Singh & Mr. Lee vs. The Martians" Launches Worldwide Battle on iPhone

On Tuesday, December 1, 2009, “Mr. Singh and Mr. Lee vs. The Martians,” a new iPhone application by twenty-seven-year-old video game designer Gurparm Brar, launched its global mission to uniting the world… by eliminating one Martian at a time.

The uniquely conceived final-countdown game is the first ever iPhone application that features an Asian and Indian superhero. Gamers inhabiting the superheroes, Mr. Singh and Mr. Lee, will be given 365 days to take out one billion Martians. If they can beat the ticking countdown and successfully complete their mission, the people of earth will stand in a better place…both metaphorically and figuratively speaking! Partial proceeds from the innovative game’s graphic unisex T-shirt sales will be donated to Malaria No More in their aid against malaria as well as help establish micro-financing companies in China and India in combating poverty.

The premise of “Mr. Singh and Mr. Lee vs. The Martians” finds the planet under mass attack by Martian invaders. With most of the world’s empires collapsed and rendered immobile, Mr. Singh and Mr. Lee stand up to fight against the inevitable doom of humanity. The heroes begin their epic battle using very rudimentary fighting instruments, and as Martians are destroyed, players gain monetary points that allow them to purchase progressively sophisticated weaponry.

“Mr. Singh and Mr. Lee vs. The Martians” was created after a year-long work of labor in which Brar put his passion to play. He developed the innovative game under his company, Just Khushi Artistry Inc., to provide his superheroes an international gateway. The game’s platform is constructed in a classic-scrolling fashion and characters are modeled after present celebrities like Jay Leno and Kanye West. Players are given a 365-day window to destroy one billion Martians, and with a worldwide viewable counter in the works, Brar has already begun preparing stages two through four of the intergalactic battle.

“Singh and Lee vs. the Martians” is available for download on all iPhone and iTouch devices.

EKC Welcomes Game Developer Gurparm Brar

Eileen Koch & Company is excited to welcome to its client roster entrepreneur and game developer Gurparm Brar. At only 27, Gurparm started his own company and created an application for the iPhone and iTouch-- a game that features two Asian superheroes, Mr. Singh and Mr. Lee, fighting to save the world from a Martian invasion. The game can be purchased for 99 cents, and a portion of the proceeds will go to philanthropic causes. Read more about Gurparm and the new iPhone game in British Columbia's Richmond Review:

Uniting the World, 99 Cents at a Time

Richmond’s Gurparm Brar is hoping to unite the world in a common cause through an iPhone and iPod Touch app he created, and which made its global debut on Tuesday.

Mr. Singh and Mr. Lee vs. the Martians is an old-school scrolling game with a simple premise: Shoot aliens, acquire cash, buy better weapons, rinse and repeat.

The heroes of the game are Mr. Singh from India, and Mr. Lee from China, and the game starts out with Mr. Singh using an Indian roller pin—a common household item used to make naan or roti—to fend off the seemingly endless hordes of towering red Martians invading his country. Look carefully, and there are nods to Jay Leno, Johnny Carson and Kanye West in the characters.

Players will like the simple but colourful graphics and the different ways the aliens go down, including by flamethrower, which melts the giant-headed invaders into an eye-popping black ooze (read more...)
