Ashley Field reports:
''I actually started skiing this past winter. I was scared to death, but - like any well-trained female - I was trying to impress a guy. So, I donned my ski attire, hopped in his car, and went to a completely different state in order to hurl myself down a mountain while strapped to two tiny pieces of wood-like material. It was incredibly fun, and I became almost immediately addicted. I'm sure I will go again when I can figure out how to get up the mountain without using the ski lift. Ski lifts are evil. Luckily with We Ski, I can bound down the mountain without freezing to death, losing my poles, or causing the ski lift to stop because I tripped getting off for the nineteenth time.
The graphics for We Ski are your typical, deformed, chubby, rounded bit that seems to be all the rage. The head of Blizzard said once that the reason for graphics of this genre is to keep the game from being dated. It is one thing for World of Warcraft to want to keep from looking dated, but who is going to play We Ski in five years? The snow is fairly nifty, but the entire game is missing the "clean" graphics that one would expect of a newer Wii game.''
Namco Bandai today released their Q1 2010 earnings report. And buried amidst the boring money stuff (net sales are down 15.8%) is something a little more interesting: game sales data.
Listed were the publisher's top five-selling games for the quarter ending June 30, 2009 (as in, only those sold during that three-month period, not lifetime sales). Those expecting Nintendo-like numbers will be disappointed, but those who love Afro Samurai - or just numbers in general - will be thrilled!
Poor Namco. Their best selling game isn't even well reviewed or high in sales. The other 4 are just jokes anyways. Hopefully they shuffle up some good game ideas for this next quarter to keep afloat since I like the Tales of series.
this is what they get for unleashing Ace Combat to a foreign audience and abandoning the outright loyalty of the PS horde; otherwise ruining the track record of an excellent franchise.
where in the world is KK and that fkn Cellius...? >_<
The top ten best-selling games for Namco Bandai during the 2008-2009 fiscal year.Tales of Vesperia for the Xbox 360 is surprisingly not on the list.
