O~3 Entertainment Announces Chaos Field for Nintendo Game CubeT

New breed of Japanese arcade-style action hits consoles in US

SANTA CLARA, CA August 15, 2005 O~3 Entertainment, an interactive
entertainment publishing and distribution company, today announced that they
will publish Chaos Field for Nintendo GameCubeT in North America. The game
is expected to be available at retail for Holiday 2005.

"Chaos Field is an excellent example of the new breed of arcade action
coming out of Japan," commented Chris Jelinek, president of O~3
Entertainment. "Our philosophy is to make the hottest Japanese arcade games
available to players in North America, and Chaos Field is just the first of
many more to follow."

"The new content in the home edition of Chaos Field adds a lot of variety to
the game play and tremendous replay value with the different play modes and
multiple characters," said Mark Rogers, executive producer at O~3
Entertainment.

Chaos Field gives vertical shooter fans reason to rejoice! The non-stop
action unfolds over five challenging levels, each with three tough stages to
test even the most confident arcade jockey's skills. The game includes three
playable characters, each with its own unique ships and characteristics.
Attacks include beam weapons, missiles, shields, swords, special attacks,
and the legendary Chaos Field.

The press has given Chaos Field high praise. GameSpot says, "The action
plays out in top-down fashion in the time-honored traditions of the shooting
genre..One look at the onscreen insanity and you'll realize why this game
had us at 'Hello.'" TotalGames.net adds, "Call us shallow, but we absolutely
love explosions, and Chaos Field features some of the very best. There's
nothing more satisfying then filling one of the immense bosses with a
multitude of bullets and then watching it erupt in all its screen-juddering
glory." NTSC-UK raves, "Chaos Field is one tough shmup, but a game that
manages to offer enough variety, depth, and adrenalin-pumping moments to
make it more than worthwhile. There are some breathtaking moments of sheer
terror on offer here, which will humble and thrill even the bravest of
players."
