Ubisoft Announces Wii-only Party Game Label
by Aaron Linde, Jun 19, 2008 4:30pm PDTPublisher Ubisoft has announced a new Wii-exclusive division called Play Zone, a brand dedicated to creating new party games and mini-game compilation titles. The company revealed the first Play Zone-branded title as Sports Party, due out next month.
"With our new Play Zone party titles, the Wii gamers who like to spend time with friends and family will have fun with the Wii through innovative and involving mini-games," said Ubisoft EMEA marketing director John Parkes. "The Play Zone label will provide them with the best games to mingle and compete together in a fun and friendly atmosphere."
Developed by Destineer, Sports Party includes nine games that can be played competitively or cooperatively using the Wii Remote's gesture-based controls. The roster of activities includes croquet, lawn darts, mini-golf and several others.

This thing seems to be stuck full on...
I look at these games as a good thing for several reasons:
1) We use them at parties, though it's usually a fight between the Wii Sports people and the PS3 Rock Band people about who gets the living room next.
2) It gets my wife used to the idea of seeing video game and computer game purchases on the credit card on a regular basis. In other words, these things are good camouflage for my purchasing habits. This is very important if you're over 40, married, and don't want to hassle with paying the bills, believe me.
3) Some of them really are fun in a group of people. Especially a group of drunken people.
4) It gives my mother-in-law and I something to do together, (Wii bowling), thus avoiding that protracted, uncomfortable, three-day-long silence, as I otherwise have absolutely nothing in common with a 75 year-old Baptist church worker.
5) Can one really have too many games?
