So it seems that everyone is attempting to tap the abilities of the Wii these days. It's bad enough that we've got We Cheer on its way, but this next game totally came as a shock to me. It seems a company called Peekaboo is currently developing a Wii Pole Dancing game. You heard me right, a pole dancing game on the most family friendly console known to man.
Rather than play up to the fact that children will be brushing up on their all-too-promising stripping careers earlier, a spokesman for Peekaboo stated that "aerobic pole dancing" promotes "fitness and fun". I'm all about the fun part, but seeing a bunch of pre-teen chicks straddling some pole isn't my idea of fun. What's better is the game will come complete with a pole peripheral called "the Electra Pole" - though any cross-promo with Carmen Electra doesn't seem to be in the cards at this point.
The Spokesman for Peekaboo ended his statement with this memorable little gem: "[we want to] do for pole dancing what Guitar Hero did for rock n' roll!"
Good evening everyone, I’m Natsume’s S.C.A.T. and I’ll be your host for the first annual Gamescrap Trade School Commercial Round-Up and Little Britches Rodeo. Ever since my S.C.A.T. team disbanded in 1991, it’s been hard for a lowly Cybernetic Attack Veteran such as myself to get into new lines of work. During all of my downtime, I’ve become enamored with daytime TV – call it a guilty pleasure if you’d like. Jerry Springer, Steve Wilkos, Christina’s Court, baby’s daddy tests on Maury, you name it, I’m watching it! Little did I know that this horrible pastime that has caused my gut to almost split my cybernetic armor (which I wear on a daily basis in case the President ever needs me in the event of Cybernetic attack) would land me a job here…hosting this prestigious induction! Today, crappy game site…tomorrow, being a professional opinion giver on VH1’s Best Week Ever. Huzzah!
So I'm going to bite the bullet and admit to the world, as well as the world's grumpy little child (the internet) that The Simpsons Game was one of the best games I played last year. It was the perfect mixture of humor, satire, and all-around awesomeness that touched a special spot inside of me that only a select few games and my scary uncle have ever been able to touch. Say what you want about the crop of award-worthy games of last year, but I can tell you this, if The Simpsons Game was released in any other year other than 2007 (the greatest year of gaming EVAR), it would have gotten the props it deserved and maybe even a little more. Forget every Simpsons game that has been released in the ten-odd years before this one. They're nothing compared to this game. What you got with this one that you never dared to get with any other Simpsons game (and most other conventional games for that matter) was hilarity from beginning to end, self-referential jokes, and a very humorous satirical jab at the gaming industry in general. If you were a gamer, the game had something for you. If you were a fan of the show, you'd get even more enjoyment out of it. If you were both, to put it lightly, this game was effin' awesome.

Well these issues have been fixed! If you've ever wanted to give Gamescrap your honest, cruel opinions, feel free to revisit the forums and speak up! We absolutely LOVE new members....and totally miss the forgetful old ones!
You’d have to live under a rock not to know that games based off of movies just plain suck, and if you doubt me one bit then you can look no further than Total Recall. Let's look at it in contrast; you're a movie producer with an R-rated Sci-Fi thriller about to hit theaters. You want to merchandise it, but you can't make toys and action figures for the kids. Who do you turn to? Video games of course! You give the developers a strict deadline to coincide with the movie's release, and four months later you have an extra revenue stream from a lackluster product that somewhat resembles the events in your movie. Job well done, now you just sit back and wait for the royalties to come in. While this was the norm in the early days of gaming, there seems to be a sort of movie game renaissance happening with the release of Chronicles of Riddick in 2004 and Warner Brothers saying that they’ll punish companies by taking more royalties for lackluster games will hopefully end the trend of the “movie cash-in” soon. While the trend seems to continue on, I’ll attempt to hold out hope. On to the game!
