For a blockbuster hit like the Pirates of the Caribbean, you would think that publishers would jump on the opportunity on the franchise's fame and rake in shiploads of moolah by porting it to all conceivable platforms possible.
But not Disney Interactive Studios. While Jack Sparrow and the rest of his crew will be basking under the sun across multiplatforms on U.S. shores, Japan will only find them exclusively on Nintendo platforms. That's right, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End will only be shipped for the Japanese Wii and DS.
QJ.net are just as clueless as to why Disney Interactive opted to embrace this strategy for Japan, but it seems that they are confident PotC: At World's End will do just fine, even without the help of the other platform versions. They will see just how much gold they'll be raking in with this double-edged move.
What’s better than a sexy, leggy, busty, bodacious, badass, British brunette Umbran witch? Well, not much, honestly. But the voice actress behind her is a very close second.

"It's always quite painful for us game journos to see poor games riding high in the charts. At times we understand why these games sell well, but we're not happy about it. Seeing as MCV recently revealed the top 50 selling games of 2007 in the UK, we picked out the 10 that didn't deserve it. Read on for VideoGamer.com's Top 10: Games undeserving of their success."
mario party 8 shouldnt have sold nearly as well as it did, that game was garbage compared to past itirrations(such as MP2)
I am honestly not trying to bash,
but even Halo fans admit that it did not quite live up to all the expectations.......and yet still sold like Hot Cakes.......

PCWorld.ca - Ted Kritsonis, Monday, December 10, 2007:
It's an unfortunate part of the video game business that a lot of what hits store shelves is marginally decent, mediocre or just downright horrible.
Dishonourable mentions go out to Soldier of Fortune: Payback, CSI, Far Cry Vengeance for the Wii, TMNT for the PSP or DS, Ghost Rider, Project Sylpheed, and 300 for the PSP.
And there's more where all those came from, but the 10 in this list make all of those look a little bit better this year...
I agree with all of them other than Lair stil think that its the most underrated game of all time...
well having analog control will def move up lair in its value for me...
like the u-turn for dragon didn't really pick up for me... some time i need to jab my controller upward 3-4 times to get it right...
i agree with every game he listed including lair.ps3 fans just want admit that lair was a bad game.the reason that they want admit it is because it's a sony exclusive.if it was a 360 exclusive all the ps3 fans would never let the 360 fans live it down.
i don't have a ps3 and i'm not buying one but my friend has one and i played it and it was one of the worse games that i played.i admit that the ps3 have some good games but lair isn't one of them and it's about time that ps3 fans admit it instead of saying that every exclusive game on the ps3 is great.
I like Tenchu Z. There's way worse games out there (look at the wii library)
woot, techu z FTW? I also like that game for like 10 hours (till it gets really repetitive ...
and I do agree with you... alot of wii games does sucks...
heatseeker, NBA live 08, need for speed, etc etc.... is like a brand new game with last gen graphic and really lame control! yay?....
wii needs to work on its thrid party relationship, they got great games, but they almost all come from Nintendo or capcom.
random note: SFII on wii plz with a good control !
This is by far the worst video game that has ever existed.
The worst ten games of 2007 are all on the Wii.
I own a Wii and about 10ish games for it (just so no one thinks this is a fanboy comment).
If this list was the worst 10 games of 2007 that actually tried to be good, it might have an ounce of credit.
I bought the infamous lair yesterday because of the prize drop, i approached the game with open mind and low expectations. I LIKE LAIR!!!! its different
Lair 8/10 for me
It's selling poorly on the PS3/360 here in NA?
PoTC is a crappy game, 5/10 on Gamespot for the Wii version. No self respecting PS3/360 gamer would buy this turd.
Nintendo knows this game will sell like hotcakes to kids. End of story.
