Just when you thought 505 Games took the title of Most Shameless Money-Hungry Will-Release-Goddamn-Anything Publisher/Developer, along comes Cincinnati-based Zoo Games. Goddamn

If I needed more confusing shovelware, I'd just do another blog along the lines of my diabetes one.

Slightly confused by these staff photos. Specifically, the dude playing a Wii while wearing cardboard 3D glasses. Does such a game exist on the Wii? Also the two dudes on the far right look fucking thrilled to be working for Zoo Entertainment. Is the guy with the ponytail asleep or dead?

To be fair I think that's just a Diner Dash game with a wedding aesthetic.  Probably made by PlayFirst and published by ZOO for the DS.

Kinda interested in this game. Just to find out what exactly those two women in the background are strangling each other for. Someone's face crossed out in a thought bubble? What?

I don't think they like being near each other.  The host or planner or whoever you play as was supposed to put them in different areas or something.  That's my guess anyways. 
 
Or maybe it's a race war.  *shrugs*

I've actually played Wedding Dash.  Part of the game is making sure that guests that hate each other aren't seated near each other.
 
Otherwise, yeah, it's essentially Diner Dash with some minor differences.

Wow...I feel bad for the Wii in the sense that it ends up getting the majority of the worthless shovelware and it really hurts the system when for every quality game that is released, 10 or so shovelware games arrive to bloat the market.

It makes me sad that people still buy shovelware for the Wii.  You would think people would have learned by now what a good game is from a bad game.

This thread inspired me to add Guy Fieri and Minute to Win It to the database. Expect me to post something obnoxious in one of the appropriate forums later.

Giant Bomb needs to do their own equivalent of 30 Days of Hate. They've been kinda heading down dark roads with Motion Sports, Farming Simulator 2011 and Multimedia Celebrity Poker.

How could they when the mainstream gaming press is completly ignorant to that category of games? Its not like those games score bad reviews, the mainstream press won't even touch them in the first place, let alone discuss them in a proper many. Giantbombs quick looks of Ship Simulator Extreme and that farm simulator game don't exactly help either, they might be fun, but they are also pretty much void of any competence,  a look at Amazon shows that most people seem to be quite happy with those games.
 
Now of course most of those games might still be bad and a waste of money, but without looking, how shall we know? Its not like that there are a whole bunch of good gymnastic game alternatives around, so who knows, maybe Shawn Johnson Gymnastics actually is a good game when you are interested in that topic. Just because something has a different target audience doesn't make it bad by default, it still might be, but you could also overlook some gems or at least competent games.
