NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2007--GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME), the world's largest video game and entertainment software retailer, kicked off the launch of the Spider-Man 3 video game, by Activision, at a jam packed launch event at Studio 450 in New York City last week. The evening brought out celebrity gamers including the actor Elijah Wood, The Daily Show's Rob Riggle, David Lee from the New York Knicks, Brad Smith from the New York Jets and Barry Cofield from the New York Giants.

"GameStop was thrilled to be part of Spider-Man Week in New York City," said Tom DeNapoli, GameStop's Vice President of Marketing. "Gamers are hungry for the next piece of the Spider-Man story and we wanted to commemorate the highly anticipated game launch by hosting an event in Spider-Man's backyard."

Based on Sony Pictures Entertainment's Columbia Pictures' upcoming feature film, Spider-Man 3 allows players to experience the actions of heroic red-suited Spider-Man and, for the first time ever, his darker, more mysterious black-suited persona. Set in a larger, dynamic, free-roaming New York City, the game gives players the freedom to choose their own gameplay experience through multiple movie-based and original storylines, fully integrated city missions and performance rewards including improved speed, combat maneuvers and agility. In Spider-Man 3, players draw upon Spider-Man's completely revamped combat abilities as they protect the city and defeat nemeses using expanded aerial fighting, finishing moves and dynamic webbing during missions and epic boss battles. In addition, players can choose to take on the role of an exclusive new playable character only available on PLAYSTATION(R)3 in Spider-Man 3: The Collector's Edition.

The evening festivities were topped off with Spider-Man wishes granted to two special Make-A-Wish Wish Kids.
