Gamer Shelf

What’re the games? According to a breathless press release we received earlier this week, both G-Force (based on a movie about guinea pigs) and Toy Story Mania! (based on a two-minute amusement park ride) are “revolutionary innovative experiences using 3-D technology,” and with the enclosed glasses, will be the first games to fully feature “stereoscopic technology.” Wowza!What’s so revolutionary? We hate including these, if only because the PR folks are already using the word “revolutionary” themselves.

Ugh. Plus, they’re likely nothing more than cash-in kiddie krap beneath that intriguing technological bullet point. Still, 3D is 3D… and 3D in a pair of multi-platform games bound to sell millions of copies to a fad-crazy mainstream audience? That could definitely cause a stir.When’s it coming? The guinea pig game is available July 21. The amusement attraction adaptation is releasing Fall 2009.
