The Nintendo Wii offers an exciting way to play many of your favorite games. Face it; you love the tennis! But with Wii’s newest game to be released around September of this year, players will get a chance to participate in leisurely sports via the cutting-edge controllers. No, I’m not talking about casino games here. I’m talking about billiards.

In Tournament Pool, players get to experience a lifelike game of 8 or 9-ball, snooker, and bar pool among other games, in single-player or multiplayer format. Like most Wii games to date, this is set to be the ultimate in 3D interactive simulation, and will be the first pool game of its kind.

Tournament Pool is said to bring incomparable realism to the home console, combing authentic graphics with convincing features like cue action, English, and even the pool halls you’ll be playing in. Developed and published by Destineer, Tournament Pool is already creating a buzz in the Wii world.

Don’t have room for a pool table in your cramped apartment? That’s okay. Get a Wii and let the games begin.

ACTIVISION
PUBLISHING PARTNERS WITH NICKELODEON

ON GLOBAL LICENSING DEAL AROUND NETWORK’S HIT TV SERIES

SANTA MONICA, CA – May 13, 2009 – Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), and Nickelodeon today announced a global partnership where the two companies will create an all-new videogame based on the number-one live-action kids’ television show iCarly. Releasing internationally this Fall, the videogame will bring the interactive elements from the series to Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ for the first time.

“iCarly is a groundbreaking show that encourages viewers to contribute content of their own,” said David Oxford, Activision Publishing. “This game is a natural extension of that creativity, and allows players to interact with the characters they know and love through a variety of different ways, any time they like.”

“In order to make a property as huge and irreverent as iCarly into a videogame, we tapped into the interactive model of the show itself,” said Steve Youngwood, Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Group. “iCarly’s entire premise is to allow kids and tweens to actively participate in their entertainment experience, and Activision is doing a phenomenal job in recreating that for Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ systems.”

In the iCarly videogame, the possibilities are truly endless as players help Carly, Sam, Freddie and the other characters from the hit TV series craft all-new webisodes of the show in an original storyline designed specifically for the game. Fun and frenetic mini-games, presented as show skits, capture the creativity of the series, and allow players to work with the characters through new adventures. The innovative iCreate mode provides opportunities for gamers to add their own touches to the webisodes by swapping out props, characters, color schemes, audio, intros, outros and more. Up to four players can either compete or cooperate together on Wii to complete the skits and earn Web-Cred, which can then be used to purchase new items, props, accessories and locations from in-game websites.

Nickelodeon’s iCarly, a web show within a show, is the number-one live-action program on all of broadcast and basic cable television with kids and tweens, and the top kid-targeted live action series on basic cable with total viewers. It averages nearly 26 million total viewers each week (source: Nielsen Media Research). The show’s companion website www.iCarly.com recently boasted its best month ever in March among total visits, visitors and page views (source: comScore Media Metrix March 2009).

This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game Snowboard Riot by Hooked Gamers

Snowboard Riot isn’t fun and it’s a complete waste of ten dollars. With games such as Mega Man 9, Maboshi’s Arcade, and the Art Style being available for the same or lower price, it isn’t difficult to see that the game is way too expensive. Hopefully Hudson will continue making higher-quality games on WiiWare and not experiment with anything like this again unless they absolutely know what they are doing
