"Is it me or......"

Is it me or are the simpsons taking over the computer games industry. The games were cool in 2D on the sega megadrive but I think they look kack in 3D on the PS2. I mean the Simpsons wrestling, road rage and now the skateboarding one what ever it's called. Why bring these games out when you can leave a classic cartoon as a classic cartoon.

Would she think you were worth any more ?

she'd shell out more than £19.99 surely.

i don't think you are going to get anyone defending the likes of disney, simpsons etc on this one, unless there is a resident devil's advocate.

There is a very simple one word explanation....

Money !!

With franchises like the Simpsons that are so popular it is easy to sell just about any product that has their moniker on them, I will bet that there are even people who will read reviews of games like these and even though they get poor or average write ups will still go out and buy the game thinking "Yes but it is the Simpsons so it cant be that bad" - The Disney games are typical of this.

When Auntie Doris goes out to buy little johnny a birthday present, knowing that he has a PS2 and knowing that he likes watching the Simpsons - she sees Simpsons bare back Turtle racing for 19.99 and buys it.

Success breeds greed on the franchise owner front.

Yeah but I'm not a money grabbing monkey basher. Instead I pay the money grabbinng monkey bashers to provide me with something I want-so whose the bigger fool.....Oh, I ballsed that one up dinI.

star wars games, james bond games, x mens games, lord of the rings games. tomb raider, final fantasy and resident evil movies.
if you had a successful brand, you'd be exploiting it too.
