hi

Why Atkonon You are the first company that puts the Arabic language and you will attract the Arabs and the races

We recognize that your company’s totally unknown companies since the game Crash down to Uncharted

We ask that you just put the Arabic translation of the story, understand and will prove

Your sales over the Arab passion for the game and cabinet members will be for us to understand the full story

Since the 3 game Uncharted next will be in the Arab region

Demand that the game contains an Arabic translation

Our requests and conducting a Borina and the Middle East, and thank you and thank you very much
