It's kind of sad how these brilliant people have to work under the thumb of soulless mass media tycoons like Accolade and Activision. To their credit, at least they never sold themselves to the EA.

...

So, uh, how does one make a game about Madagascar?

Some previews:
  • http://www.gaming-age.com/cgi-bin/previews/preview.pl?sys=xbox&game=madagascar
  • http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/madagascar/preview_6116038.html (also includes a video interview. I suspect it's with some people from TFB, but I'm still downloading)

    Update: no people from TFB. Only an activision guy.

The "News" about the game must be the most confusing text I have ever read in my whole life. And it took me 10 minutes to realize what those green eye-stalk things on the "Links" section were. Really. Then suddenly- "TFB+Green-Eyes=Spathi." I am so ashamed.

It wouldn't be that bad if they were hired to do something serious...
Games for children are nice but they are.. well... for children.
What exactly do I want?

Ever thought about...

No, nobody in the world has ever thought about that. Nope. Not one. ...Drool... must.. have... (Warps into an alternate dimension where TFB rules the world and The SC Saga is being continued properly)

Yeah, but I lost all hope.
There already is a SC3 so there's no way TfB could do that, however there is no sign of StarCraft 2, therefore there is a slight chance that Blizzard will hire Toys for Bob to do it for them  ;)

Are you sure?
I think that in such a world Zanthius would have much more followers...

Nope. In that kinda world guys like Zanthius would be banned. He probably is one of thos "REAL psychos" that the Creators refer to in one of the Interviews/IRC Logs in the PONAF.
