BURBANK, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games are teaming up
with Guinness World Records to bring Guinness World Records: The
Videogame to Wii and Nintendo DS in fall 2008.

   Guinness World Records: The Videogame, developed by TT Games and
published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, will offer
players of all ages the opportunity not only to observe and marvel at
the most remarkable activities in the world, but actually to
participate in them.

   Guinness World Records: The Videogame is full of amazing world
records, giving players the opportunity to become a real world record
breaker! The game's quick-fire action challenges can be played solo,
in teams, or in competitive multi-player groups.

   Accessible game mechanics enable anyone to grow the longest
fingernails ever seen; to walk a tightrope across the Grand Canyon; or
even eat a jumbo jet. But true skill and dedication will be required
to compete at the highest level. The ultimate prize: you may see your
name appear in the official Guinness World Records book!

   "Guinness World Record lends itself wonderfully to an interactive
experience for the whole family," said Tom Stone, Managing Director of
TT Games Publishing. "We're excited at this opportunity to team up
with such a well-loved institution to create a really fresh and fun
game."

   "We are very pleased with how Guinness World Records: The
Videogame looks and plays, this new development reflects the
versatility of our content and how it can be tailored for almost any
medium and format," said Sam Fay, Senior Vice President of Guinness
World Records. "We are sure that the game is going to be a favourite
amongst all aspiring record breakers!"

   Guinness World Records: The Videogame launches in Fall 2008.
