Video game giant PlayStation is expanding its relationship with Hip-Hop culture with the release of B-Boy, a new video game influenced by the company’s sponsorship of the annual UK B-Boy Championships. The game, developed by FreeStyleGames in collaboration with Rock Steady Crew member Crazy Legs and DJ Hooch, will also feature scenes from the championships as players build crews to battle real-life superstar B-Boys and event host Crazy Legs in "B-Boy Life" mode. "Over the many years of sponsorship, we have talked about taking the inspiration from the championships to create a B-Boy game. Now it's here, we are all excited. This game comes with all the authenticity of B-Boy culture, featuring the top B-Boy's from the around the world, and the dynamic game play we always dreamed of," said Carl Christopher of PlayStation.
