FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

XENOPI STUDIOS ANNOUNCES “GOOD SAMARITAN GAMES” INITIATIVE

PORTLAND, Oregon - December 15, 2004 - Xenopi Studios, Inc. announced the
unveiling of its “Good Samaritan Games” (GSG) Initiative today, a unique
effort using computer games to provide direct monetary support to charitable
causes. The premise: computer games aren’t solely for entertainment; they
can actually help people in need.

About The “Good Samaritan Games” Initiative:

The “Good Samaritan Games” Initiative will allow computer game players
everywhere to purchase entertaining computer games with the satisfaction of
giving back to society at the same time. Independent computer game
developer and distributor Xenopi Studios, Inc. believes that its new
initiative will lead to big wins for respected charitable causes.

The concept behind “Good Samaritan Games” is simple. The GSG Initiative
selects a respected charity or non-profit organization for sponsorship.
During the Sponsorship Period, a percentage of profits from all games sold
through Xenopi Studios’ website (www.xenopi.com) will be earmarked for the
selected Charity. The percentage donated to this charity starts at a minimum
of 10%, increasing incrementally (to a maximum of 50%) as sales milestones
are attained. At the end of the Sponsorship Period, the total donation will
be given to the Charity and a new Sponsored Charity will be selected,
starting the process anew.

Eric Cha, president and founder of Xenopi Studios, said, “We believe that
computer games have developed a poor reputation as time wasters and negative
influences on society. With the ‘Good Samaritan Games’ Initiative, we want
to show that computer games can be a strong force for good and can affect
society in a positive and meaningful way.”

Unlike many charity events, the “Good Samaritan Games” Initiative is
intended to be a continuous, ongoing program. “We are committed to setting
an example for other companies to follow. This initiative is something we
intend to make a cornerstone of our company mission for the foreseeable
future,” stated Cha.

The “Good Samaritan Games” Initiative is scheduled to launch in January of
2005, when the first sponsored charity will be announced. More details
regarding the “Good Samaritan Games” Initiative can be found at
