This week, Ubisoft throws a summer ball, StarCraft II opens an airline and Activision Blizzard drives a herse to Venice and back…
UBISOFT JUST DANCES THE SUMMER AWAY The publisher got its groove on at its annual Summer Fair last week, inviting friends and members of the industry to partake in a little partying – Just Dance 2style – mixed with a drop of beer (make that quite a few drops), alongside a BBQ, a World Cup match and selection of E3 games. Highlights included UK marketing director Murray Pannell showing he’s got the moves (picturedabove, in the pink shirt with the mutated chicken elbow) and the amount of Ghost Recon-branded jam we were able to steal.
