EDISON, N.J., April 21, 2005 - Evil has a new face in video games as Majesco Entertainment (NASDAQ: COOL ), an innovative provider of diversified products and content for digital entertainment platforms , today announced Raze's Hell has shipped to retail stores nationwide. Available exclusively for the Xbox ® video game system from Microsoft for a suggested retail price of $19.99, Raze's Hell is a fiendishly fun action-shooter set in a fantasy world overrun by monstrously cute creatures.
