like the idea of '3 on 3 NHL Arcade', i wouldn't buy a sports title for full price, but might be worth a punt for a stripped down version on XBLA that I can play multiplayer with
hope it turns out good |

Hopefully EA in general will learn something from World of Goo. If two guys can easily blow the whole of EAs Wii output of the water with one WiiWare game, they really should be thinking about what they can do that is innovative yet still marketable.
I'm assuming the cost of developing something at a similar level would be negligible for EA, WiiWare could be a good way for them to dip their toes in the water...hopefully if something is successful enough they can turn it into a retail release franchise. |

How long before we get World of Goo rip-off 2009...2010....every year thereafter...live Goo updates, create your own Goo etc. All with a thumping fully licensed soundtrack.
EA have started to chnage their ways in 2008 but it's all about NEW ideas rather than churning out annual updates of the same old franchises. I thought the awful Facebreaker was meant to be the start of a big new creative push by EA? |

I note he claims some sort of relation to these guys, calling them EA alumni and somehow inferring that EA fostered these guys into the Indie developers they are today.
Which might be true, the guys got fed up with the EA way of doing business and went out to do their own thing. And managed to get a name for themselves, something they would never have managed within the needlessly nameless EA structure.

@disc oh so true! He also wants to tie in the shovelware EA is making (and needs to make) for the Wii to World of Goo, as if they have any connection beyond being inexpensive, when they represent the exact opposites of what low budget game development can mean for gamers.

How to write an article about nothing. He was just politically correct after he mentioned World of Goo in a previous entry....
EUROGAMER YOU ARE REALLY RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "it is not my cup of tea" means something....maybe.... It is a dull month for gaming so you'll have to justify your salaries somehow. What about spending more time reviewing the games properly??????????? Ah sorry that's too complicated for you. Better stick with some lazy reviews.

World of Goo? I'm sure it's fun, and the reviewers certainly loved it, but surprised to see up so high.
So if you're surprised to see it so high, Peter, then obviously you think it should have been lower. So what exactly do you have to learn from it, this game that you don't even think is very good? |
