creation of London-based cdv Software Entertainment Ltd., establishing

Managing Director. David will be supported by Marketing Manager Matthew
Walker, having held marketing positions at Virgin Interactive, Activision

long-term strategy as a global service provider, and is best served by an
experienced and knowledgeable local presence," said Christian Gloe, CEO of
