Activision has lost a fan in Greg Hastings, the paintball playing pro who lent his name to two Activision-published games. According to Mr Hastings, the mega publisher not only tried to “steal” his franchise, but also his identity.
I’m not sure what’s more disturbing; the fact that Majesco’s Babysitting Mama has you stuffing your Wii remote into the plush equivalent of a tiny human child, or the fact that it uses the nunchuck as well.
Is there room for two cooking, crafting and gardening experts at Majesco? The US publisher of the Cooking Mama series has signed a deal to produce video games based on America’s favourite ex-convict, Martha Stewart. I smell a cat fight.
Majesco’s share price has again wandered south of Wall Street’s Mendoza line, prompting NASDAQ to tell the maker of Cooking Mama to get it back north of $US1 or face delisting from the exchange.
