"Ska-doosh!" If you have a kid, you've already added this little phrase to your parent/child lexicon. I'm, of course, talking about a line from the upcoming Dreamworks Pictures movie, Kung Fu Panda. Activision teamed up with Luxoflux to bring us the PS3 and Xbox 360 movie tie-in, as well as Xpec for the PS2 and Wii versions, Vicarious Visions was tapped for the DS version, and the usual suspect Beenox for the PC version. Here is the crazy part – it may be a movie tie-in, but it is actually quite funny and great to play. While I try to restrain my shock, let's take a closer look at Kung Fu Panda.

"In video game discussions, you’ll hear all sorts of terms being tossed around to describe a game’s social standing. “Overrated” someone will say, as they describe the latest Call of Duty and make the claim that it doesn’t deserve all its praise. “Underrated” someone will say, as they describe the latest Animal Crossing title and claim that people should appreciate it more, or that they simply just “don’t get it”. Then there’s a lesser-used term: “Under the radar”."
Good job Luxoflux and Activision
