Challenge: Crosswords and More!

Console Game to Contain Over
1,000 Unique Interactive Puzzles

Newport Beach, CA. — December 08,
2005 — Crave Entertainment, a leading publisher of console videogames, today
announced plans to publish Puzzle Challenge: Crosswords and More!, a collection
of more than 1,000 crossword puzzles, word searches and other brainteasers for
the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and for the PSP(tm) (PlayStation®Portable)
system. The title marks the first U.S. word puzzle game for either system.

"Crosswords have such wide appeal,"
said Sheri Snow, Director of Marketing of Crave Entertainment. "We expect to see
family members that might not ordinarily play with PlayStation 2 console or the
PSP system start vying for their own gaming time."

Puzzle Challenge: Crosswords and
More! offers more than 200 hours of gameplay, ranging from easy to difficult
standard crosswords, codebreakers that require the player to determine number
matches assigned to each letter of the alphabet, puzzles with cryptic clues,
diamond shaped puzzles and backwards puzzles where the player fills in their own
black squares. Word searches come in standard or themed versions. Profiles can
be set for multiple players so that the entire household can use the software.
Exclusive to the PSP(tm) system version is a two-player game sharing mode that
enables two people on separate handheld consoles to play the game via wireless
connection using one disc.

Puzzle Challenge: Crosswords and
More! is expected to be released in the first quarter of next year with an MSRP
of $19.99 for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and $29.99 for the
PSP(tm) (PlayStation®Portable) system.
