Depois da EA e da Ubisoft, mais uma editora a criar um rótulo de jogos casuais… Eu sou gajo de respeitar a Majesco, afinal de contas salvaram o meu querido Psychonauts de um limbo sem editores e ensinaram-me a cozinhar tão bem como um Quim Barreiros ou o próprio Abul e as suas pizzas com queijo sem queijo. Mas arrancar assim a linha Go Play anunciando um jogo como o Go Play Lumberjacks para a Wii, ameaçam definitivamente a minha masculinidade.

– UM JOGO COM MACHADOS NA WII FSCK YEAH! –

Acção rápida a quatro jogadores? Cortar árvores com moto serras? Equilibrar-me em cima de troncos a boiar? Subir postes?? Dass, isto sim é a testosterona que falta na Wii! Já para não mencionar que para além do típico lenhador sem e com apêndices mamários, posso ser um pirata, um ninja, um cavaleiro ou um metaleiro! Melhor ainda, sabem quem está a fazer este jogo? É o pessoal da Panic Button. Quem? Deviam levar uma porrada das minhas enormes mãos de lenhador… Está lá pessoal que fez o Turok caneco!

Dá mesmo vontade de ser lenhador!

MAJESCO ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES
‘GO PLAY LUMBERJACKS’ FOR Wii™

The First Game in Majesco’s New Family Oriented
Brand is Slated to Launch This Spring

EDISON, N.J., February 19, 2009 – Rev up the chainsaw and watch the sawdust fly in Go Play Lumberjacks, an all-new action party game from Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market. The first game in Majesco’s recently announced Go Play line of motion-based titles for Wii™, Go Play Lumberjacks lets players use the Wii Remote™ to chop, climb, saw and logroll to victory in 5 entertaining event categories.

“Our new Go Play brand features fun and easy-to-play Wii games that will get the family on their feet to play together,” said Gui Karyo, Executive Vice President of Operations for Majesco. “Go Play Lumberjacks is the perfect title to kick off the line given its fast-paced 4 player action, motion-based gameplay and support for the Wii Balance Board™ accessory.”

Developed by Panic Button, Go Play Lumberjacks brings competition from the great outdoors into the home. Players use the Wii Remote as an all-in-one timber-cutting contest tool: feel sawdust fly from your chainsaw in the Hot Saw, test your balance on the waterlogged Log Roll, ascend towering tree trunks in the Pole Climb, and much more. This all-new, four-player party game features 15 wily woodchoppers, including Jack the lumberjack, Jill the chainsaw-wielding beauty, a peg-legged pirate, ninja assassin and medieval knight, among others. Players can earn new pieces of gear as trophies, like saw and axe upgrades, and unlock their own Mii™. Go Play Lumberjacks features five game categories– Sawing, Axe Throwing, Climbing, Chopping, and Water Events—and even supports the Wii Balance Board accessory for intense lumberjacking action!

Go Play Lumberjacks for Wii is expected to release this May. For additional information about Majesco’s exciting line of products, please visit www.majescoentertainment.com.
