SUPER-EGO GAMES TAPS ESTABLISHED
COMEDY TALENT FOR UPCOMING RAT RACE VIDEO GAME

Victor Varnado and Other NYC
Comedians to Lend Whimsical Style and Humor to First Ever Episodic Game on the
Sony PlayStation 3 Platform

Super-Ego Games announced today that
it has tapped renowned New York City comedians to write and voice its recently
announced game Rat Race, the first-ever episodic console game, coming to the
PlayStation Network this Winter. The company has enlisted high-caliber,
established comedic talent from the NYC stand-up comedy circuit and from popular
shows including Saturday Night Live, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Flight of
the Concords and more. Comedian Victor Varnado leads the group as head writer
and voice director at Super-Ego Games.

A respected comedian on the stand-up
scene, Victor Varnado has also performed on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Jimmy
Kimmel Live, Comedy Central and HBO. Most recently, he had a guest role in the
season opener of My Name is Earl playing an imprisoned gang leader. In addition,
he is also hosting/producing the popular New York City First Sunday’s Comedy
Film Festival, producing/writing a new HBO sketch comedy show for Russell
Simmons’ company and working alongside comic book legend Stan Lee on a new
superhero movie. He also has a starring role as gender-ambiguous Internet
villain Kazaa in Fat Guy Stuck in Internet, which will air during Cartoon
Network’s popular Adult Swim programming block.

"I’ve been hooked on gaming since I
was a kid, so working with Super-Ego is one of the best gigs I have ever
had,"said Varando. "Super-Ego has come up with an amazing concept, and my
contribution is to help make sure this game is incredibly satisfying to play
thanks to its humor, cool characters, and clever story telling."

In addition to Varnado, Super Ego’s
in-house writing team includes Roger Hailes (MTV, Comedy Central and VH1) and
Karen Sneider (Nickelodeon, Disney). The in-house team works with a broad array
of distinguished writers and voiceover actors, including Chris Deluca (CBS Late
Late Show with Craig Kilborn, Best Week Ever and 2005 & 2006 Video Game Awards),
Amanda Melson (Comedy Central, Saturday Night Live), Leo Allen (Saturday Night
Live, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Last Call with Carson Daly, Comedy Central,
Ed, Sex & the City), Kristen Schaal (Flight of the Conchords, Ugly Betty, Comedy
Central, Law & Order) and Andres du Bouchet (Talkshow with Spike Ferestein, Late
Night with Conan O’Brien, Comedy Central, The Onion).

"Having access to such amazing
comedic talent will help us deliver a unique gaming experience,"said Greg
Easley, Co-Founder and President of Super Ego Games. "We’re fortunate that
Victor has joined the team and that we’ve managed to tap into New York’s
professional comedy scene, which is obviously cutting edge and vibrant."

Super-Ego Games was founded on the
principle of creating games with character. The company’s first original
property, Rat Race, drops players in the shoes of Tina Brooks, an ambitious
brand manager at BiggCo, an ethically-challenged consumer products company. Tina
quickly discovers that "business as usual"means an unending series of wacky,
over-the-top, and wildly inappropriate situations. It’s up to the player to
outsmart, outwit, and sometime outrun co-workers and upper-management in a set
of hilarious scenarios.
