Eurogamer: Ubisoft's Women's Things Preview

Eurogamer writes: "Ubisoft's press conference was undoubtedly a highlight of E3. Announcement-packed, full of surprises and spectacularly French, it even helped the company win Best Publisher in Eurogamer's E3 Awards.

There was plenty on show for the hardcore, such as Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (catch up with our preview if you missed it first time round). But, perhaps still flush with the success of Just Dance, Ubi also tried to appeal to the more casual demographic with titles like Your Shape, Michael Jackson: The Experience and, of course, Just Dance 2.

Just as everyone knows what "urban" really stands for, everyone knows what "more casual demographic" means. So, a few weeks after the hustle and bustle of E3 was over, we sent a woman along to Ubisoft's London showcase. There she took a closer look at what the publisher has to offer those who would swap swords and shotguns for leotards and legwarmers any day."

Games we’re ashamed to admit we play

MyGaming: "We all secretly love a number of games we’d never tell anyone else about, games that make us seem like simpletons, suckers or sellouts.

They’re games that are way below our age group, games we know are critical failures, games that are embarrassing to play in a group or that the community despise in general.

Nevertheless, we play them, and we enjoy them too – when no one is looking of course.

These are the games most often spoken about in hushed tones by so many of us"

I'm not so much ashamed for having played SingStar as I am sorry for the people that were listening to it.

And Lego games are fun. No need to be ashamed for playing them imo.

SingStar was one of our party games. We usually wound up competing boys against girls. Us boys always won.

Karaoke American Idol is much better than singstar... Great drunken party game :-) and I enjoyed lollipop chainsaw as well lol!

Definitely no shame in Lego games.

As for just dance and other similar gams, party games are super fun... As long as you aren't playing alone :P

Plants vs Zombies GW and Splatoon - I am 44, I don't tell anyone that I play these. Both are great games.

wonderfulmonkeyman3206d ago

The only one I felt ashamed of owning, off the top of my head, was TMNT: Smash Up.
I got rid of it not long afterwards, though, so I'm not sure that counts...
I guess maybe Child of Light?
I love the story and combat, but Ubisoft hasn't really done much in the last 3 years to warrant my patronage outside of that game, so I guess I feel a little guilty about giving them money for it when they've burned me so many times before...

DeeboSlice3206d ago

Child of Light was excellent. No shame for that one. It is just a sleeper.

wonderfulmonkeyman3206d ago

Like I said, I like the game.
Just not the company.

Just Dance and the Meaning of Having Fun

It can’t be denied anymore: Just Dance is one of those successes in the previous generation that needs to be acknowledged.
