Throughout human history, we've been known to often resort to violent entertainment when times are low; it gets us excit...

Re: What do you think about a Housepets game for Nintendo Wi

High quality can make the difference between more or less customers. What really matters is the marketing and how well it's done. Nevertheless, you also need to think about the audience. Shooters are very popular right now, so they're going to sell better than any other game (though like with all tr...
