My First Press Release

I've been trying to get access to press releases and haven't really gotten anywhere but I finally received my first batch..from Crave Entertainment. I couldn't be happier. These are right up my alley.
The PSP version of Dave Mirra BMX Challenge that came out last November didn't fare too well review-wise, but maybe it's because that version didn't have a the Monster Energy drink boost meter the the new Wii version has as seen in the screenshot above. It also has the leg up on other extreme sports games that have you unlocking mundane shit like new gear or levels. In Dave Mirra BMX Challenge you get to unlock women's clothing!
Another upcoming title that look interesting and apparently is quite fun to play is Spelling Challenge for the PSP and DS.
The graphics look purposefully clear and simple but the color scheme makes me wonder if they were trying to emulate the look of the late 70's Speak & Spell toy:
Other titles listed are George Of The Jungle for PS2 and DS which is based on the upcoming Cartoon network series, a Napoleon Dynamite game for the PSP and DS, and a Crayola game for the DS that has one of the best screenshots ever:
