Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Will the wii version of Hell's Kitchen feature waggle for maximum skillet control?
'Get your fucking finger on the wookie'
Is Hell's Kitchen going to be the assumed reality TV tie-in or a gangster (or city) management sim based on the eponymous area of NYC?
who buys this shit?
can we find them?
will we be able to convince them to stop?

Then I remember that these things clutter up the fucking DS and Wii sections in shops so badly (especially the preowned, oh god) that I often literally cannot find the game I wanted beneath the mountains of crap. I mean, these games pose a serious logistical problem to me. Especially when shops insist on putting all the stuff I might actually want right at the back.
I now have this mental image of myself, crushed under a mountain of imagine(tm) games, completely buried, with only my right arm emerging from the pile, with the copy of Rocket Slime I was after clutched in my outstretched, twitching hand.
I think i'm going to invest in an actual shovel.

Pretty sure it's a diner dash clone
Oh man, I though there for a minute that you were talking about an Imagine Photoshop game.
I would actually buy that.

I like how they're called Imagine but then all their titles are fairly mundane affairs. Imagine Walk to the Shops, Imagine Watching TV, Imagine Toast and Margarine for Breakfast.
Fixed.

Wait wait, maybe Brothers in Arms Double Time (Wii) - 26/09/08 will be good?
I was under the impression AAA titles fund AAA titles. Mostly because anything that is a AAA title anymore is a sequal to something that ended up being a AAA title.
There are very few AAA titles coming out soon that are not sequals... only things I can think of off the top of my head are Mirror's Edge and...
e: Spore doesn't count because it didn't cost a bajillion dollars to make.

They sell more copies of this shovelware than they sell of AAA titles, and these games cost much less to create. So, obviously, they're making money with this. Money then re-invested somewhere else.
Far Cry 2 is AAA and the PC version is likely to be a tad better.
@Dyvion I think Spore must have cost EA quite a lot seeing it has been in development for ages.
From my understanding, it's a waggleport of the first two games.
I can't find any concrete numbers, but there's a vague reference on Wikipedia from '06 about it being projected to cost 20 million. Which, while very large, they've probably already made back just on pre-orders and the Creature Creator. I'm not speaking for everyone here by any means, but I pre-ordered my copy in June. And from what I understand, most AAA titles recently have been around 50 million.
But please take all this with a grain of salt, as I've been unable to locate any actual numbers... my work filters are teh suck.

Dramatic much? I understand where your coming from. But honestly, the clutter is not so bad that you cannot find your games. As a matter of fact, the only places that would honestly have that problem at all are places that you should not be buying games at anyway. Yeah, there's a bunch of shovelware. Alot of little girls and boys are going to buy these games and Ubisoft is going to make money. Also, Prince of Persia was on that list.
To the guy that asked about Hell's Kitchen, I'm assuming that it will be a cooking game and not a gangster urban crime romp.
I won't lie, I may have been exaggerating a tiny bit. Just for larks, y'know.
I don't know about where you are, but even the 'specialist' game stores do let the shelves get filled with this kind of junk. Especially the preowned section, as they're obliged to take any crap that comes in, and children not being the most discerning of consumers, love to trade in the games their parents bought them last week for peanuts.
So in the end, we win!
Or, at least, I win.
Which, when you think about it, is what really matters.
If the president had any real power, he'd be able to live wherever the fuck he wanted.
So, hey, what do we know about Prince of Persia: The Fallen King? Side-scrolling PoP for the DS? I could go for that.
