MIAMI, Oct 06, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME) (NYSE:GME.B), the world's largest video game and entertainment software retailer, kicked off the launch of the video game SCARFACE: THE WORLD IS YOURS, by Vivendi Universal Games, at a jam packed launch event in Miami last night. The evening brought out the stars including Scarface original cast member Robert Loggia, Kevin Dillon aka "Drama" from HBO's television series Entourage, Ana Carolina, a former Miss Brazil, and local celebrities and athletes including two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves. Miami's crown jewel of local nightlife, Mansion, took decorating tips from Tony Montana, resulting in an atmosphere that took on the personality of the very movie it was celebrating: intense, steamy and a must see.

"Scarface, the movie, has transcended time. Now the icon takes on new life in SCARFACE: THE WORLD IS YOURS video game," said Tom DeNapoli, Vice President of Marketing, GameStop Corp. "GameStop is thrilled to be part of this historic launch, and we wanted to celebrate it by throwing an event in the very place where Scarface surfaced--Miami."

SCARFACE: THE WORLD IS YOURS video game is an original event-driven storyline created by acclaimed feature writer David McKenna. Players get the opportunity to take the role of Tony Montana, one of the most ruthless gangsters ever depicted on film. Scarface creates a gameplay environment that authentically recreates the historical time period of the film, touching on politics, news items and events of the day. Players will travel the streets of Miami to the Islands of the Florida Keys, stopping along the way to procure information, negotiate deals and engage in battles.

Event attendees got to experience the new Scarface video game throughout the party on Thursday night and were invited to join in competitive Scarface matches with celebrity attendees including the actor Kevin Dillon. In addition, Dillon got in the heat of it with driving sensation Helio Castroneves as they battled against each other to raise money for charity. Dillon played for the cancer prevention campaign Design A Cure, with Castroneves supporting the Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation, which provides recreational and educational opportunities for at-risk children. A total of $10,000 was raised.
