From zero to sixty

I honestly couldn't have had any less interest in Rabbids Go Home unless it actually came packed in with a vial of the Ebola virus.

But now, in lieu of some very important information, I feel quite differently, and as such, have realized I'm quite shallow.

Ubisoft Montpellier is the developer. And this has officially become my most anticipated title of the year.

I've got the new Nintendo Power which broke the news right beside me. And it's beside me now because an article that I originally planned on ignoring has become one that I need to read right away.

In the beginning, I believed that Ubisoft's Paris team would be the ones behind the game. And according to my brain, nothing good has come from them.

I still recommend Rayman Raving Rabbids to the masses. It's a great game. But I can't bring myself to recommend its sequels. Ubisoft Paris took something beautiful and threw it into a seatbelt-less bumper car, saying only one thing before it go ripped to shreds by its bear-driven competition; "Have fun."

But it looks like the series is back at home with it's creator, Michel Ancel. You may remember that name if you're from the future, as it later becomes a worldwide holiday where we celebrate his genius.

I become an even worse individual for not knowing much else about the game. But the dude tied his name to a King Kong game, and look how that turned out. The guy just can't produce anything less than spectacular. He may have single-handedly kicked off the mini-game collection craze on the Wii, and I still can't condemn him.

So while I may be shallow, I am for all the right reasons.

We need more Tyler Podcasts and fewer everybody else podcasts. You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar!

I've never hopped onto the Rabbid train (+5 PUN POINTS), but it's always nice to see series originators coming back to established franchises. If only Warren Spector would go back to Deus Ex, we'd be in business.

I do enjoy the fact that Michel Ancel is wearing his 'Blowing Minds All Da Times' medal.
