IGN isn't a good website. They give games everyone hates like Skyward Sword a 10/10 and they give critically acclaimed games like the new Pokemon games a 7.8/10 strictly because of "too much water".

I hope this isn't a failure for FarSight and I hope it doesn't go through the same infamy Orbals has.

Bowling? That´s interesting. Like this game in real life a lot. Is this supposed to be released on PS4?

 

[Dedpop]

Mobile devices.

 

[RushDude2112]

I dont see this in the Ouya store yet. Do you think they wil release this for Ouya?

 

[Heretic]

its not out yet dude but since oyua in basically straight andyroid im orettu sure its a safe bet if and when

 

[shutyertrap]

Well, if they have the Brunswick license then that means they're a tiny bit closer to being able to do The Big Lebowski table! Seeing as how that features a Brunswick bowling lane...

What?

 

[Heretic]

oh shut uo you tart

I don't need video game versions...

Is that like a wall mounted tablet? Not portable, fail.

Erm, no, it was at a real bowling alley. With real pins.

Wat. Why would you install a wall mounted virtual bowling game tablet at a real bowling alley. Esp since the place has real pins.

May as well play virtual video pinball within Theatre of Magic.

Well, Gamespot gave it a 5 out of 10 and it's score on meta critic is only a 44 out of 100 if that makes you feel any better. There's no sugarcoating it: the original game was not a success by any stretch. Hopefully the remake is better...

That's a ceiling mounted scoring screen above the bowling lane. That's how they display the score in a real bowling alley.

Are you asking if a game for the PS2 came out today? Um no. Jeff has been posting about the last Brunswick bowling game that FarSight did.
