An Update on 'Guilty Pary'

I recently wrote about a video game coming to the Wii system called "Disney's Guilty Party". Kotaku.com, a popular gaming blog, has posted an article about some of the gameplay. Their writers had the opportunity to play a bit of it.

One of the particularly interesting parts, to me, was the way you can hide your clues from other players in the room. Obviously you are all looking at the same television when you play. This would make hiding the information the suspects give you difficult. 'Guilty Party' solved this by using a lie detector! When a player finished interrogating a suspect, they hover over the suspect with the lie detector. However, the player can press a button on their Wii-mote while they do this and it will display the opposite result (truth of lies)! Other players in the room who see the result won't know if you pressed the button and therefore cannot be sure that the suspect's information is valid. Clever, isn't it?

Epic Mickey Update

Gaming blog Kotaku recently wrote a piece about Disney's Epic Mickey game. In it, they expressed that Kingdom Hearts was to thank for the creation of Epic Mickey because prior to Kingdom Hearts, Disney characters were not seen in video games with a young-teen-to-adult target. I agree with this. However I do not agree with this:

Why does that screen shot in NO WAY remind me of this:



I'm staring to lose my excitement for this game. I wish Disney would keep pushing, like they did with Kingdom Hearts, to make a game nobody was expecting. Something like the concept art for Epic Mickey would be great.
