Step into the shoes of a young child for a moment. Your redneck father decides he wants you out of the house for a while, so he takes a chain, ties up you and your friends, and hangs you upside down from a tree in the back yard. Just for laughs, underneath each of you he places a genetically altered, man eating cactus, closer to which you are slowly being lowered. Upon escaping, one of your friends is quickly eaten by the neighbor's giant dog. It's a terrifying experience indeed; and just a couple of the many bizarre mini-games found in Activision and Ivolgamus' Block Party for Wii.
Sherry Baldwin: "I was kind of excited at the beginning of the week when we planned out three features for the current generation of home consoles… That was until I was told my point of view was to pick the worst Wii games released to help potential consumers avoid any “shovelware” as our editor put it. Thankfully there are a lot of quality games on the little white box that many consider to be a game changer in the industry. However we’re not focusing on the great titles the Wii has to offer."
Mario Galaxy Came out within the first 1 1/2 years and sp did tons of titles, but I get what you mean.
"Honorable Mention:
Literally Too Many To List (Six more released while you were reading this.)"

i loled on that one
Literally Too Many To List (Six more released while you were reading this.)"
best statement i ever heard..
I can't argue with most of those titles, because I never even heard of most of them. LoL

As if families are broken and only look happy in a family portrait.

I have two children a lad 9 and a daughter 7 both of whome were quite excited by pitfall and its nice cartoony style graphics.I must admit even i was looking forward to playing it albeit nostalgia purposes.
Now-- however it is being marketed as shovelware and solely for familes, both of my children turn round say " daddy they keep bringing out baby games". Forget the corporate pile of slush and release games that actually appeal.
Piling them into a range and calling them all as one is not the way forward. Pitfall would sell tons more had it had a less babyish cover. You just watch spore wars show you how its done, at least Pax holds a weapon on the front!
Well done activision youve joined the publishers that dont know gamers and upset two small children a the same time!. I just cant help wonder how many other people feel this. Sack your artists and imagineers
