PhaseSpace used in new Nintendo® WiiTM Title
San Leandro, Calif. July 28, 2008 – PhaseSpace, the price and performance leader in optical motion capture, announced today that 3G Studios has implemented a large PhaseSpace Impulse motion capture system in its studio in Reno, NV. This marks another win for PhaseSpace continuing to demonstrate why they are at the forefront in motion and performance capture products in the US.
3G Studios is an experienced next-gen development studio currently working on the recently announced Jillian Michael’s Fitness Ultimatum 2009 for the Nintendo® Wii™ due out this fall as well as an unannounced next-gen title. 3G Studios made a significant studio investment by purchasing the robust PhaseSpace Impulse System which supportsreal-time previews and features well-defined hand and facial capture. The PhaseSpace system will allow 3G Studios to provide ahigher level of realism and perform complex motions with less time spent on clean-up, allowing the studio to work faster than many of its competitors.

TITLE: Mushroom Men – The Spore Wars
PLATFORM: Wii
DEVELOPER: Red Fly Studio
GENRE: Action Adventure
RELEASE DATE: October 2008An ichorous green meteor plummets through the Earth’s atmosphere, fracturing and showering the earth with glowing green space dust that affects all forms of life nearby. Some plant life – mushrooms and cacti – acquire sentience while, the meteor twists and mutates other life forms, transforming insects and animals into semi-intelligent, warlike communities.
The story of Mushroom Men is told in Acts, each Act occurring in a completely unique environment. Each version of the game (DS and Wii) tells different portions of the history of the Mushroom Men universe. The DS and Wii versions are completely different stories from one-another. The DS version, Mushroom Men – Rise of the Fungi, is the first release and shows the development of the Mushroom Nations, starting very early in Mushroom Men history. The early days of the Mushroom Men were simpler times as the Mushroom Men were just learning to walk, communicate and interact with their world. As the Mushroom Men learn how their world works, they take the player with them, developing their skills, abilities and histories up to the start of the Spore Wars.

New York, NY— June 17, 2008 — Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTWO) today responded to Electronic Arts Inc.’s (NASDAQ:ERTS) announcement that it is extending for a fourth time its unsolicited conditional tender offer to acquire all of Take-Two’s outstanding shares.
As reported by EA, only 6,139,824 of Take-Two’s outstanding shares, or approximately 7.9% of the total, tendered into EA’s offer as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on June 16, 2008.
“The latest extension of EA’s unsolicited, highly conditional tender offer does not alter the fact that their proposal still significantly undervalues Take-Two, a fact that is reflected in the overwhelming number of stockholders who still have not tendered their shares,” said Strauss Zelnick, Chairman of the Board of Take-Two. “Our Board of Directors remains in unanimous agreement that the proposal is contrary to the best interests of Take-Two stockholders, and the Board continues to recommend that stockholders not tender their shares to EA. The Board remains focused on the strategic process that began formally on April 30 to consider all alternatives to maximize value. We believe that these alternatives, which may include a business combination or remaining independent, will deliver greater value to stockholders than the current EA offer.”
Ben Feder, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Take-Two’s vast potential to create and enhance stockholder value has become even more evident in recent weeks, with the runaway success of Grand Theft Auto IV, a product pipeline that is one of the strongest and most creative in our history, and continued operational and financial progress. We believe that any alternative we consider must fully reflect the value we are creating and capture that value for the benefit of our stockholders.”
