I made a motion architechture game. The two seemed to be quite popular at the time. It sold OK.

Still trying to imagine what that game would play like, though.

I mean, thats just Boom Blox right?

Not a bad suggestion. Or maybe the architecture part in the first act of Heavy Rain with Move support.

It's Jenga. The setup part. Kids love it, gives them a chance to be neat and orderly and clean UP a mess.

I made a Racing/Fantasy-game named "Horse Carts". It received the Worst Game of the Year Award.

I made a Swimsuit based Motion game, called Perv. Then a "respectable magazine" wrote an article about it.

I'm just still baffled by the fact that the one game I had to win the game of the year award was a reversi puzzle game. I mean really? None of my other 10+ million selling hall of fame titles claimed that prize, but somehow a god damn Neopets Puzzle Adventure clone does?

I was told that my Sumo Racing Game "Fat Wheels" was a bad combination. It also won the worst game award but it is still my highest selling game with over 15 million sold.

I want to play Fat Wheels SO BAD.

Also, I didn't even know it was possible to win the Worst Game Award. Congratulations.

My Poncho Life game, called Poncho-Life sold pretty well.

I also made a Poncho music game that sold equally well.

Tried a Romance RPG but didn't sell that well, good thing I saved it before I did all that.

Audio Novel/Animal game (Catdog Tale) was terrifyingly popular, despite being nothing but full of meows and woofs.

I've got a good series of high school online RPGs going. Ported it to the PSP and sold, like, 10m. I've also got a ninja card game, Kunoichi Clash, that has been doing gangbusters on the Gamecube.

I found Sim RPG/Game Co. pretty funny. Sold really, really well as well.

I made an animal racing game and got a fan letter from a pro racing driver saying he used it to practise on new tracks.

Made me laff.

Haha, completely coincidentally I just made a historical action game called 'Kill Lincoln!'.
Also a sim golf game called 'Twat the ball!', it didn't do so good.
