Super Hero Squad Online Booth at PAX Prime
After attending PAX Prime West this year, we stumbled across a great booth for the new Super Hero Squad Online, by Gazillion Entertainment. My kids and I watch the Super Hero Squad Show on Cartoon Network and love it. (No surprise there!) So I was really excited to see that they had an online MMO (Mass Multiplayer Online) releasing soon. I got to try it out and I have to say, I enjoyed it! They also created a card game, which Sophia (my 6 year old) really loved, the only drawback is that the cards were created for the PAX event. Let’s hope it catches on and they create a full game out of it.
At PAX, I had a chance to meet Keith, Gazillion Entertainment’s PR Manager. We talked about how games can help kids with reading, problem solving and language skills, not to mention hand to eye corrdination. We had both stated that there really aren’t too many games out there for kids, so I was really excited to see this game! The reason I like this game is that Keith stated that pretty much everyone at Gazillion are parents, so it is created by parents! So the violence level is low, there is no foul language or suggestive things that kids shouldn’t be seeing in the first place.There is also a great info page for parents to learn more about security issues and etc. My favorite of the parents info is this: Parental Controls: We believe that parents are the best judge of what’s right for their kids and our game allow parents to filter aspects of their child’s play, keeping you in control. As I gaming mom, I firmly believe in this!
The interactivity of the MMO is great, it’s easy of use is also great and I am really excited for this MMO to release! Gazillion states that the release date is set for Q1, 2011. So anytime between January to March of 2011 we’ll be joining and enjoying! Check out the awesome trailer!!!
