New York, NY - March 14, 2007 – Rockstar Games, the
world-renowned publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.
(NASDAQ: TTWO), is pleased to announce that it has teamed up with
super-producer Timbaland to present Beaterator for the PSP system.
Developed by Rockstar Leeds, Beaterator will be available this summer.
"Music
has always been a hugely important part of everything we do here," said
Sam Houser, Founder and Executive Producer of Rockstar Games. "Two years
ago, we launched a web-based version of Beaterator on our own website
and people really embraced it. That inspired us to build and create
something very interactive and unique. Having Timbaland involved in the
game is a real honor and only adds to our excitement about the title."
"I've
always been a huge fan of Rockstar and love playing their games," said
Timbaland. "I'm thrilled to be partnering with them and making music for
Beaterator. I cannot wait to get this in the hands of our fans!"
Beaterator
for the PSP system is both a powerful music mixer with robust beatmaking
features, as well as a highly addictive collection of original music and
rhythm games and challenge modes - all available in the palm of your
hand.
