Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land The Rabbids series has done pretty well for itself, considering that it’s all about about mentally challenged bunnies doing wacky things.
You know, it’s videos like this that made me wish the Wii was out when I was still in uni. Playboy hosted a Rayman party at West Virgina University (one of the US’ biggest party schools). Good choice, If I must say so. No, there’s nothing suggestive about this video AT ALL.
Mad Catz just landed the rights to start pumping out branded accessories based on Ubisoft’s casual-game-centric Rayman Raving Rabbids franchise. The multi-year agreement gives Mad Catz the right to create a “range of accessories” for the DS Game Boy Advanced, PC, Playstation 2, Wii and Xbox 360.
“Rayman is one of the videogame world’s iconic heroes, and we look forward to bringing the mischievous fun of the game series to a new line of branded videogame accessories,” said Darren Richardson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz. “The addition of the Rayman Raving Rabbids licence further strengthens and diversifies what we believe to be the video game accessory industry’s most extensive portfolio of brand licences that already includes all of the major North American professional sports leagues and many of the most popular recent and upcoming software titles.”
No word on what bits of cute crap they’ll be trying to shove down our throats, but I hope it will involve at least one Rabbid plushie with built-in motion detecting.
The British Parliament plan to debate whether video games should be safety-tested for causing photo sensitive epileptic seizures, the Bristol Evening Post reports.
The debate comes after Dentist Gaye Herford spent a year trying to bring the plight of her son to the attention of Parliament after he suffered a seizure while playing Rayman: Raving Rabbids on this DS.
The paper reports that Ubisoft has already agreed to voluntarily test its games through a screening process.
Herford discovered her 10-year-old son with his eyes glazed over and twitching uncontrollably in an epileptic fit in May 2007.
If the campaign leads to new legislation, the UK will be the first country in the world to set such high safety standards for video games, the paper reports. Television and film programs are already tested.
