Ubisoft to launch a Strictly Come Dancing game!

According to games website MCV, Ubisoft are going to launch a Strictly Come Dancing title in November! It'll be available to play on the Wii, the Xbox360 and PS3 and if it's half as much fun as their Just Dance Wii game, then that's my Xmas pressie sorted already!

Ubisoft's Just Dance 2: Still Number One!

And we finally got our Wii fixed, so I was able to put on my dancing shoes (well, take my slippers off, actually) shove the coffee table to one side and almost manage to not trip over the rug, as littlun showed me how to switch it on.

I'll be honest with you now - I'm not a techy person, I don't play game consoles, in fact, the last one I did play was Crash Team Racing (as Coco Bandicoot I was the undisputed queen of Crash Cove in this house) but that was ages ago and I've only ever had a couple of games of bowling on the wii. So I'm not going to tell you how brilliant the graphics are or how it does this or that because I simply don't know. There were words flashing up that occassionally told me "Good" or even "Perfect" and there were some Gold stars too. More importantly, the music was brilliant.

What I do know, is that once I put Just Dance 2 on (passing on It's Raining Men, far too energetic) and got into Tik Tok (c.2500 points) thinking, I'll just do a couple and call it a night but, oh - I Feel Good, I'll just do that (c.3000 points) I found myself - Move Your Feet, that's a good'un - ooh, 6167 - unable to switch it off because Proud Mary beckoned (6996 points) but there's no way I'll beat that. Whoop - Hot Stuff, 8039, get in there! You see what happened?

Addicted, especially when I Want You Back scored me 8675 points! Now I know that regular games users and Just Dance afficionados are probably going "pfffft" at my pathetic little efforts but I was thrilled to be improving - at the same time as laughing involuntarily and doing a damn sight more exercise than I've had in ages! I dropped back to 3933 with Sway, then a Hey Ya netted me 7128. That's my lot, I thought, I must go - but hang on, there's a Charleston, I've got to try that (6833) and I can't possibly turn it off without a bit of Jungle Boogie (3383) but really, that's my lot - oh, ok, just Soul Bossa Nova (3585), because Mattiona did a brill jive to that on Strictly. One more and that's it - The Power, 5217 *collapses in a heap* and I resisted the temptation to go back to the music menu. Littlun showed me how to switch off and I am now completely hooked and itching to get back on it! The Number One chart spot is well deserved! As is the BAFTA!

Ubisoft Launching The Michael Jackson Experience!

We all want to bust some moves like the King of Pop himself – and here’s your chance to do just that!

Ubisoft are launching The Michael Jackson Experience on November 26th and from the moment the pavement lights up, you know you’ll be hooked! And no, I’m pretty sure that isn’t Jimi Mistry in the video, moonlighting. Moonlighting not moonwalking, (though he’d clearly be up for it, if his turn on Strictly is anything to go by!) You can sing along too, which in my case isn’t such a good idea, but maybe some of you out there are capable of doing both!

Like the trailer says, his (MJ, not Jimi!) music unites us; his moves inspire us; his game will light up the world! Check it out and make a note of the release date!

Ubisoft® Launch of Just Dance® 2! Or, Schmoozing With The Stars ... in pictures!

What can I say, other than I had a fab-u-lous time at Studio Valbonne (many thanks to Lexy!) Here's a few photos - the celebs were having a fab time too, giving their all on the wii games set up! The screens were far too much for my little camera though, so you have to take my word for it! Here’s a video hint of the fun you can have!
