Soundtrack Details for FreeStyle Street Basket

UMG Artists Create Original Tracks for Sierra
Online’s Upcoming Massively Multiplayer Online Basketball Game

Sierra Online has signed some of the hottest
hip-hop artists and a renowned producer to create an exclusive in-game
soundtrack for the highly anticipated PC game FreeStyle Street Basketball(TM).
Lloyd Banks, Young Hot Rod and Sha Money XL have been drafted to lead the
FreeStyle Street Basketball music team.

G-Unit’s Lloyd Banks, whose debut album "Hunger
for More" sold more than 3 million copies, is creating the official theme song
for FreeStyle Street Basketball. His latest album, "Rotten Apple," is in stores
now.

"I jumped at the chance to create an exclusive
song for FreeStyle Street Basketball, especially since hip-hop has always been
relevant in the street basketball culture," said Lloyd Banks. "I’m always
playing video games so to have the opportunity to record the theme song for a
game is crazy."

FreeStyle Street Basketball is a fast-paced
massively multiplayer online PC basketball game where players meet on virtual
courts to challenge each other in a dynamic pick-up game environment, featuring
cutting-edge music, fashions and gravity defying basketball moves. The game’s
easy-to-learn controls allow players to master every move, from simple shots to
crazy alleyoop dunks, using just four keys. Gamers can play 1-on-1, 2-on-2 or
3-on-3 street basketball online against people from around the country. The
globally popular FreeStyle Street Basketball has more than 30 million players in
Asia.

"G-Unit artists embody the spirit of street
basketball so Lloyd Banks, Young Hot Rod, and Sha Money XL are a perfect fit for
FreeStyle Street Basketball," said Ed Zobrist, President, Sierra Online. "We are
excited to combine great artists with great gameplay."

New G-Unit member Young Hot Rod is creating a
track exclusively for the game. His first single "Be Easy" featuring Mary J.
Blige has heated up the airwaves and his debut album "Fast Lane" is scheduled to
drop in early 2007. Famed producer Sha Money XL, whose producing credits include
50 Cent, Tupac and Lloyd Banks, is creating seven exclusive beats for FreeStyle
Street Basketball and producing the Lloyd Banks and Young Hot Rod tracks. In
addition to producing, Sha Money XL scored 50 Cent: Bulletproof as well as Fast
& Furious: Tokyo Drift.

FreeStyle Street Basketball will be free for a
limited time while it’s available for a public preview this spring. The game
will be available on retail shelves and via digital distribution following the
public preview. For more information on the game and to register for the public
preview, visit
