Pool RebelAT&T announced that UK-based Nikos Konstas with its Pool Rebel game won the AT&T Game Development Contest for Windows Mobile.

Pool Rebel is a billiards simulation game that features realistic physics, intuitive controls and “addictive game play.”

Commenting on the announcement, Nikos said: “I designed Pool Rebel with the casual gamer in mind. While I think it will improve their pool skills if they play it enough, my hope is that they just have fun with it.”

As the winner, Nikos will receive a mobile game developer contract with I-play, prime placement of the finished game on the game portal on AT&T MEdia Mall and a cash prize of $25,000.

The AT&T Game Development Contest for Windows Mobile is a joint work of AT&T, Microsoft, HTC and I-play.

Finally, if you’re attending the CTIA in San Francisco, you can see Pool Rebel in action at the AT&T booth No. 1223 (second floor).
