EA/Hasbro Sells 2 Million, Joe Jonas & Tiny To Wed
Casual and/or family-friendly games may get teased a bit, like my date with Joe Jonas (OMG) which occurred after my Neopets Puzzle Adventure review, but the money paints a much rosier picture.
EA, for instance, has quite a bit to brag about concerning three of the first games from their partnership with Hasbro: Littlest Pet Shop, Nerf: N-Strike and Hasbro Family Game Night have helped EA/Hasbro sell 2 million units since release. Littlest Pet Shop was the #2 DS game in November, and Nerf: N-Strike has done great thanks to kid-friendly shooter action and the actual Nerf blaster that comes with the game. I've played it, enjoyed it, and still retain my manhood. Mostly.
Hasbro Family Game Night, which combines Hasbro gems like Battleship, Yahtzee, Boggle, Connect Four, Sorry! and Sorry! Sliders, just about screams "Buy Me, Family Member Shopping Blindly For Someone Else's Children!" and won something called a "Toy Wishes 2008 All-Star Award," so you know it's krunk.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to buy my boy Joe a real game.
