Why? Because they like money, and teen/preteen girls are especially good at getting their parents to spend it.

lol. Thanks. I was going to add '...on crap', but then I thought of the cousins I have who actually have relatively good taste. Then again, who do you think buys all the boy bands and Britney Spears albums?

I just feel bad for the people that have to make those kind of games.

Why? There's probably a very low amount of pressure on them! I mean, these games aren't really known for being the best quality games, so they don't really have to work towards a difficult goal.

I think that's what he's getting at: where's the fulfillment?

I just know that in a few years when I am trying to break into the industry I'll end up on at least one of those sorts of games before I work on something good. I'll just have to work as hard as I can anyway to get good references when I try to move on from there.
Of course, it's also possible my senior project will be good enough to interest a good developer.

I used to work seasonal at the toys r us game zone and those petz games would seel more than halo would. No joke. On average, I would sell more of the Petz titles than all xbox 360 game sales combined. People have to get some Petz Dogz/Catz/Hamsterz/Horsez/Dolphinz action

I'm shocked Hannah Montana sold so little. I can't go to the store without seeing a bunch of Hannah Montana posters. Not so with Naruto.

Why is Lego Starwarso nthis list? Both parts of this game (Legos, Starwars) are very "boy" oriented.

So it's not okay for girls to like Star Wars? It's one of my favorite Co-op games, and the last time I checked I was female. Just because it's ' "boy" oriented ' doesn't mean girls can't or don't like it.

Clerk: "So, you want Imagine Whateverz, do you?"
Guy: "Yes, my daughter really wants it."
Clerk: "Your daughter, or the seven-year-old you're using this game to seduce with prons on the halowebs?"
Guy: "What?!"
Clerk: "You should know, I'm not a game clerk. I'm Chris Hansen."
Guy: "But.. but she's in school right now..."
'Clerk': "You're on To Catch A Predator, and you're the Predator I'm To Catch A-ing."

All I have to say (besides the obvious Ubishovelware comment) is that I REALLY hate the "word" "tween".

The word is "preteen", always has been. I don't know where people keep getting this "tween" crap.
