My Horse and Me PC Demo Released

Related Topics – Atari, Demo, Nintendo DS

Struggling publisher Atari has just released a PC demo of W!Games' equestrian lifestyle game My Horse and Me (PC, Wii, NDS), which we have put up on FileShack for all you horse lovers out there. Described by Atari as a "unique gaming experience for anyone with an interest or passion for horses," My Horse and Me features "the most accurate horse models and animations yet realized in a video game," "a richly rewarding game play experience," and "a beautiful backdrop of charming indoor and outdoor environments."

The first PC and Wii title from Amsterdam-based developer W!Games includes first and third person perspectives, horse customization, a championship mode, and various mini-games, such as grooming. W!Games promises it will be the "perfect training tool for practicing disciplines that riders face in real life." My Horse and Me hits Europe on Nov. 23 in PC, Wii, and Nintendo DS flavors, with a North American release slated for next year. The PC and Wii versions were handled by W!Games, with Mistic reining in the DS edition.

I was excited about this game, but then I heard that the horse neighs and whinnies have been cut down in the English version. I for one will not spend my money on a censored product and refuse to support this developer.

you guys can laugh all you want, but you don't even begin to realize how many people are completely obsessed with horses and how much money is being made in that industry (trust me, it's an industry). i only recently discovered that all of that stuff since i volunteered for about a month in a vet hospital, and have seen the CRAZIEST horse-related shit, granted. i've also seen stuff that you wouldn't see in this game even if it was called Manhunting Horses of Fortune but a whole other story.

Why are you covering this game? I assume it's for joke purposes, I don't see how this would appeal to the demographic here.

I'm sure there are tons of games out there that would kill for this kind of press and are probably more fun.
