As someone who does exactly that, I can tell you that this is far from the truth. True, playing 40 hours of Bratz each week (if you're unlucky enough to be assigned to it) is no picnic, but it beats the hell out of working retail, believe me.

I'd also like to add that I fail to see how GIANT SOULLESS PUBLISHER MAKES LOTS OF MONEY FROM SHOVELWARE is in any way news. You might as well make an entry on how EA makes mediocre sports games that sell pretty well, or how Nintendo makes a lot of money.

Oh, right.

Oh don't worry. I used to work there too as a tester. I never tested bratz...but I did see my fair share of wrestling and Spongebob. I'm now a game designer...so I never have to do that again. Thank God. I think I would prefer retail.

Anonymous, I don't believe you. There aren't enough Saint's Row titles in development for any of us to actually believe you when you say it's not a living hell testing for THQ. ;)

And for the record... who told you this was a news site? It's a gaming blog bro, to put things in perspective, they post stories about video game cakes too.

Probably hiding in a McMansion with their eyes closed and their fingers in their ears. Like the rest of America.

Do they (or maybe it's just one kid) play actually play any instrument? Or have any talents at all?

At least the two brothers are real musicians (the older one is the songwriter for most of their songs), the rest of the band I'm not sure if they play their instruments (I imagine the bassist girl don't, as she's an actress, not a musician). I would say they are not that bad for a buch of 10 yo kids...

I have a friend who's an intern for this show. They said it's referred to in-house as The Horny Pedophiles Show.

Yea Drake & Josh has that non-kiddy humor but keeps it clean.

Was there anything in their press release about making a not-crappy Avatar game? The only bad thing about that show is that it's on Nickelodeon.

With all the hype over games like Halo 3 and GTA IV, we seem to forget that KIDS are still a major market for video games! They always have been... The Nintendo NES sold 60 million, SNES 50 million, and Sega Genesis 30 million, while being primarily played by kids. Guess what, just as many kids play video games today as did back then. That means there are tens of millions of kids who will play THQ Nickelodeon games.

Good point, it's just a shame that there isn't more of at least a passing attempt at quality for games targeting younger gamers.

This post is awful. Aside from the grammatical errors, do we really need yet another rant on this subject?

We all know most licensed games are crap and we all know that they'll keep making them because they're profitable.

We also know that this isn't a threat to good games, because they've been making licensed garbage for nearly as long as video games have existed, and we still get a lot of A+ titles every year.

No one is making you play these games, and no one who reads this site is going to play them either, so why bother paying them any attention? Give us some news we care about.

MASTUR CHEEF,

The '90s called and said they want "Scrub" back. They said it's their slang, and they miss it. I dunno man, if you want to use horribly outdated slang it's fine by me, but i thought you might want to know the '90s are looking for you...

And if you know where "That's the bomb yo!" went, they're looking for it too... the seem to think you have it, along with some muscle pants?

Those damn kids are everything that's wrong with Nickelodeon. I've been unfortunate enough to hear their 'music'. Maybe I'm assuming, but I think cleaning your ears with shards of glass should simulate the experience.

Ever consider that Fairly Odd Parents wasn't targeted at you? Next time it comes on, try changing the channel. It works almost every time.
