New from Ubisoft: Imagine: DUI!

Informed estimate? Here's Pachter's take on the DLC from March 2008:

Funny. I remember Blockbuster saying Netflix was doomed because people like driving to the local store on a whim and picking up a movie. Now which of those two are filing for bankruptcy? Still, Gamestop will always have a loyal clientele of people without mailboxes in need of quick cash for their stol...er... used…

EA has already made two music games: Boogie (already on its second version) and Boom Boom Rocket.

While their rating is nice and all, their warning doesn't have much "Common Sense". It's DLC for an M-rated game which you shouldn't give to kids anyway. So why warn about DLC being inappropriate when the game required to use the DLC is equally inappropriate? You may as well warn parents not to buy a silencer for…

What a weird argument. So is someone who wants to make a game about an adolescent boy that casts spells going to sue EA because it bought the Harry Potter license?

So basically somebody got a grant to download copies of MAME and MESS and call it a day? And if whomever is running the program doesn't make use of the MAME source base, they are going to spend the next twenty years wasting tax payer money trying re-invent everything that the hundreds of contributors to MAME have…

@siempre: Yay. No freakin orphans with amnesia. I guess they're not trying to appeal to the JRPG crowd.

120 million? That's it? How the mighty have fallen. Eidos probably spent more on that for Nerf toys and espresso at Ion Storm during its heyday.

Hope no one shows that screenshot to Fox News. Fox would think Home contains suicide bombers.

If every company misses the analysts' projections- maybe the analysts are the ones that need to get fired.

Even if they sold every single copy they shipped, it still wouldn't be enough to pay off their debts. This is just a press release to keep the stock from sliding further.

So if they do manage to actually make any money selling a brand new arcade machine to the handful arcades left in existence, Midway will just sue them out of existence to pay their debts. Sort of like what Atari did when it was going down the tubes in the 90s. Atari shook down Sega for $90 million for patents on…

PoP:Sands of Time didn't sell well initially because it had the world's worst advertising campaign [www.truveo.com] and had to rely on word of mouth sales. Ubisoft marketing types used the "slow starter" excuse to change Warrior Within to be more "urban". That game became the poster child of why you don't let…

Reeves reminds me of Saddam's press secretary. In other news, Reeves declared "Queen still fairest of them all- unconcerned about Snow White."

If this means we won't see five Dynasty Warrior games each year, I'm all for it.

@lightweaponx: The Star Wars game universe was dealt a double blow between this game getting canned and Factor 5 shutting down. Let this be a lesson: Friends don't let friends develop PS3 exclusives.

Sigh. Maybe someday people will learn the difference between correlation and causation. With enough persistence you can link most anything to anything else, but that doesn't mean one causes the other. "WARNING: This man has been linked to Kevin Bacon."

Half their business will be PS3? Insert "glass half empty" jokes here.

@GodBen: That's not how it works. It's tied to the PC itself, not the hard drive.
