Midway Games Inc. (NYSE: MWY), a leading interactive entertainment software publisher and developer, today announced that Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic will appear on the cover of NBA Ballers: Chosen One, the next installment in the popular NBA Ballers franchise that is scheduled to ship for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system in Spring 2008. Al Horford of the Atlanta Hawks will also be featured on the packaging.

"Dwight Howard and Al Horford are the perfect choices for NBA Ballers: Chosen One, which allows players to live the life of an NBA Superstar," said George Gomez, executive producer, Midway.

Howard, the NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Month for both November and December, has established himself as one of the league's elite big men by averaging more than 20.0 points and 15.0 rebounds per game, and is currently leading all NBA centers in the 2008 NBA All-Star balloting program. Horford, the third overall pick in the 2007 draft and the NBA Rookie of the Month in November, continues to flourish by averaging near double-double figures throughout the early stages of his career.

In addition to the packaging of NBA Ballers: Chosen One, both Howard and Horford will be featured throughout the creative of the game's multi-million dollar marketing campaign.
