New York, NY (September 30, 2005) - Atari and Marc Ecko today announced the launch of the official web site for Marc Ecko’s Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure.

Located online at www.gettingup.com, the new site provides visitors with an extraordinary glimpse into the rich culture and history of graffiti. GettingUp.com offers an array of unique content including detailed historical perspectives of graffiti and its culture, downloadable MP3s, real-life art, profiles of top graffiti legends, exclusive in-game concept art, and behind-the-scenes videos narrated by Marc Ecko.

”GettingUp.com mirrors the game’s originality and encompasses a deep sense of artistic expression,” said Marc Metis, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Atari, Inc. “The GettingUp.com web site is more than a companion to the game ― it is an online destination that chronicles the graffiti lifestyle.”

Highlighted sections of the new GettingUp.com site include:
