With offerings to support every major gaming platform, Majesco's release schedule is headlined by innovative titles like Infected and hot licensed properties including Aeon Flux and Teen Titans™.

Highlights of Majesco's premier holiday lineup include:
Infected (PSP™)
Available November / Rated M / SRP $39.99
One of the most exciting titles available exclusively for the PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable), Infected features pulse-pounding two-gun action as players cleanse the mean New York City streets of mad, flesh-hungry "Infected." Planet Moon Studio's zombie-fest offers an engrossing single-player campaign and four Wi-Fi multiplayer modes that allow players' avatars to invade opponents' PSP systems. Infected also features an in-game soundtrack comprised of top metal bands from Roadrunner Records including Slipknot, Ill Nino, Chimaira and more.
Aeon Flux (PlayStation® 2, Xbox™)
Available November 15 / Rated T / SRP $49.99
Aeon Flux bridges the fever-dream essence of the cult-classic animated TV series with the mass-market appeal of the upcoming feature film starring Oscar® Winner Charlize Theron who lends her voice and likeness to the game. Developed by Terminal Reality, Aeon Flux features a palpitating blend of stealth, speed and acrobatic combat.
Teen Titans™ (Game Boy Advance)
Available Now / Rated E10+ / SRP $29.99
Developed by Artificial Mind & Movement, Teen Titans, licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, is based on the highly popular Warner Bros. Animation television series and DC Comics characters.

Players advance through a crime-ridden city of hostile environments as they face off against notorious villains Brother Blood, Jinx, Gizmo and Mammoth.
