It's all the rage: Activision launches casual games label

Question: What's this season's hottest must-have accessory for the discerning game publishing giant? Answer: A casual gaming division. EA has EA Casual Entertainment. Ubisoft has Play Zone. And now Activision has one! Bafflingly, it's called Wee 1ST, in a bizarre reversal of the traditional Wii pun.

Actually, the press release avoids the word "casual," and instead describes Wee 1ST as a label to "showcase games that take full advantage of the Wii's capabilities." That said, the first titles to appear under the Wee 1ST banner -- Little League World Series 2008, Rapala Fishing Frenzy and Dancing with the Stars: Get Your Dance On! (a sequel to the passable Dancing with the Stars) -- look like rather casual, forgettable fare.

Activision is still Dancing with the Stars

Although mediocre, Dancing with the Stars wasn't as terrible as we thought it would be. For a "dumbed-down Samba de Amigo," in fact, it wasn't half bad. That doesn't mean we're going to get our proverbial knickers in a twist over "part two", though.

Yes, the day has come for Activision to announce a sequel to the first game in the series, titled Get Your Dance On! this time around. You can dance as some B-list celebs such as Mel B, Apolo Anton Ohno, Joey Fatone and Jennie Garth, and pair up with instructors that only people who watch the show will have heard of.

Activision promises that the Wii version will have more refined controls than its predecessor, and will include "flair" moves that you can perform to get extra points (and to make yourself look extra silly, we're sure). Other than that, it's just Dancing with the Stars, so take it or leave it.

Best of 2007: Games that remind me of your mother

I have fond memories of your mother -- yes, all of your mothers. Up until now, I've kept those memories separate from Wii Fanboy, mostly out of professional courtesy. After seeing how most of you ignored Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure, however, I have thrown civility out the window. The gloves are off now, and good riddance, as it'd be difficult to type about the games that remind me of your mom while wearing those restrictive mittens.

Wii Fanboy Review: Dancing with the Stars

I have to say, Dancing with the Stars was not exactly at the top of my list of most-anticipated Wii games. I wasn't really beset with a deep and abiding need to boogie across the living room to Beyonce and Paul Anka, but sometimes, we fanfolk buckle down and do what we have to do. In my case, that meant I had to get my dance on.

It would be an understatement to say that I approached Activision's Dancing with the Stars with some trepidation. The game had really nothing going for it in my eyes; I have no interest in the show, or dancing, or any stars, much less these, and at seven months pregnant, the only thing I want to shake is pretty much anyone who crosses my path. But once it got going, I was forced to admit that hey, this game really wasn't all that bad. In fact, as simple rhythm games go ... it was alright.
