    Data Design Interactive Signs distribution deal with Midway Games…

    Stourbridge, UK, 24th June 2009. Data Design Interactive Ltd — a successful video games publisher and games developer, today announced that it has signed a deal with Midway Games Inc who will distribute DDI‘s Nintendo Wii game entitled ‘Schweineparty’ in German, Austria and Switzerland. (English version is entitled ‘Farmyard Party’)

    Uwe Fuerstenberg, General Manager Midway Games GmbH, said:

    “We are proud to work with Data Design Interactive on that highly enjoyable title. Schweineparty is 100% swine flu free but we are confident it will disseminate just as quickly.”

    Schweineparty brings farmyard fun to the Nintendo Wii. The game has eight sporting events which are divided into four categories: all-round, speed, power, and skill. Game modes include party modes themed around event styles, single event fun and some hilarious bonus games.

    The game play revolves around using a combination of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk in various ways to complete each event. The events require a combination of speed, timing and more than a little sweat!

    Alongside the challenges of beating the game records and those of your friends, there are a number of new characters, bonus games and a development gallery for players to enjoy.
    Based on the cornerstones of sportsmanship and competitiveness of the fun and crazy games, Schweineparty is an ideal choice for family friendly fun. Schweineparty provides an entertaining multiplayer experience (4 player mode), with colourful graphics and physically demanding gameplay.

  • Friday featured not one, but two of the most embarrassing errors you’ll ever witness in baseball. Behold as these well-compensated professionals forget foundational baseball they learned in little-league. Early in the afternoon, Milton Bradley starts us off by counting to three tossing a fly ball he caught into Wrigley’s bleachers, a time-honored tradition when the half-inning ends. The only problem: it was only the second out of the inning.

    For those of you still reeling from the shock of seeing what $7,000,000 gets you, savor the collapse of the New York Mets against the New York Yankees. How bad was it? Sure handed second basemen Luis Castillo dropped the 27th out of the game, and diligent Yankee base runners both scored, winning the game on their last chance.

    Francisco and Luis turn 9th inning heartburn into heartache for Mets fans

    There you have it, major leaguers proving that not even $22,416,666 makes you immune to mistakes.
