Mudvayne "Determined" Against
Xbox Gamers
Powerhouse Rock Group Set To Play
Need For Speed Underground 2 In Latest Xbox Live “Game With Fame” Session
Critically acclaimed rock group
Mudvayne, whose hit single “Determined” is featured on EA’s Need For Speed
Underground 2 soundtrack, is calling on all Xbox® gamers to challenge them as
part of Xbox Live’s™ “Game With Fame” program on April 20.
Players interested in challenging
the band must sign up by April 13 and can do so by logging onto

Recently named to this year’s list
of Ozzfest main stage performers, Mudvayne currently holds the #2 slot on
Billboard’s Active Rock Chart with their new hit single “Happy?” As they gear up
for the April 12 release of their highly anticipated new album, Lost and Found,
the group is looking forward to some intense wheel-to-wheel action against
gamers in one of Electronic Arts’ most successful racing games to date.
“Being able to tie the blistering
passion of Mudvayne and their fans with the aggression and obsession of the Xbox
Live audience is a recipe for virtual mayhem. We couldn’t be happier to see
these two worlds collide” said Vice President of Epic Records Online Cory
Llewellyn.
The extreme game world in Need For
Speed Underground 2 gives gamers the ability to explore the world of street
racing while other racers attempt to school you in the ways of the underground
racing world.
