Posted this in BYOB recently, but decided it might have greater potential than a mere thread. http://www.phoenixgamesgroup.com/uk/index.html This is a collection of the worst European knockoff games I've ever seen. The titles range from the vaguely familiar... ...to the borderline copyright-infringement with hilarious subtle changes (whether to dodge a lawsuit or to be politically correct I'm not sure)... ...to the, um...this... There are scads of other Disney knockoffs, as well as games that look suspiciously like "real" games right down to the design of the title logo. And a surprisingly large portion of the "games" are described as "cartoon films" with accompanying activities like puzzles and coloring books, so they aren't so much games as they are (presumably) crappy little cartoon movies with interactive special features. To find out what REALLY makes Phoenix Games different, you can go straight to the source: quote:With a small elite team of 6 people specializing in licensing, marketing and publishing of value priced games, development and manufacturing are bundled through outsourcing and collaboration. This approach suppresses our fixed costs and enables a revolutionary low price strategy. I posted this in the ALOD thread because I don't see any other feature article suggestion threads around, but I have this crazy pipe dream that it'll be worthy of a Fashion S.W.A.T. Ah well, use it however.
