      Midway Games Inc. (NYSE: MWY), a leading interactive entertainment 
      industry publisher and developer, today announced that Hour of Victory™, 
      a new cinematic, first person shooter experience set in World War II, is 
      currently in development exclusively for the Xbox 360™ 
      video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and is expected to be 
      available this summer.
    
    
      Built using the powerful Unreal® Engine 3.0, Hour 
      of Victory combines authentic details from historic World War II 
      battles and adds in frenetic and cinematic gameplay. Gamers are able to 
      play each level in the style they choose, whether as a covert operative, 
      specializing in stealth and sabotage; a British commando proficient in 
      the guns-blazing frontal assault; or an Army ranger who excels in 
      sniping and demolitions. Players will also be able to take control of 
      any vehicle on the battlefield as they sharpen their skills to impact 
      the key battles from the European and North African Theaters.
    
    
      “Hour of Victory is an entirely new 
      World War II experience designed exclusively for the Xbox 360 that will 
      place players in a pivotal role during key battles using the gameplay 
      style they choose,” said Matt Booty, senior 
      vice president, worldwide studios, Midway. “Using 
      the powerful Unreal Engine 3.0 we’re able to 
      create exciting, cinematic moments that allow players to feel like a 
      hero, not just another cog in the war machine.”
