The fourth Ice Age movie was indeed better than the third movie, yet it has been panned to death according to rotten tomatoes. Compared to the first film, which was darker and edgier, I wouldn't be surprised.

Sequels are oftentimes worse than the first parts.

The only one I can think where the sequels are on the same levcela s the original is Toy Story.

That's the worst example of sequelitis.

Land Before Tima had 13 sequels last time I checked.

I think Disney produces the worst sequels. The only ones that they didn't fail at was the Toy Story movies. That's why I thought Cars 2 would be good, but that was a major letdown.

It was Disney's idea for Cars 2, not Pixar's. Besides, the Game Overthinker said it was better than the first film.

Did anyone see this?

[video=youtube;KGmkqkqmdV8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGmkqkqmdV8[/video]

Basically, this is about a Pushmo clone, but besides the characters, it's the exact same gameplay. It's called Blockshift, and the video shows that Pushmo's QR codes even work on this Android app! The fact that it's free is definitely tantalising, but the fact that it would potentially hurt sales by diverting any phone user away from the original product is alarming, because the people who worked hard on the game didn't get anything. It's got bad press among Nintendo fans of course, but there are strangely people who supported this because it's free and more accessible.

That's it for now.

I wonder what they did... did they reverse-engineer the QR codes? Whatever it is, I think unauthorized clones may or may not be a good thing, depending on the person viewing it. One thing I know, though, is why in the world they did decide to accept Pushmo QR codes? This smells like something that only the brazen would do.

Ow never heard of either of these games, but it wouldn't be unlikely for this game to be taken down soon.
Google is really trying to step up their game with that.
But then I wonder how much legal ground nintendo has to stand on, it would only include the qr codes and the
mario jumping sound.

Google's app submission checks are practically non-existent - sometimes, even malware slips through. Takedowns, on the other hand... well, it might work, if they are aware of that, but being a clone apparently isn't enough.

Google's app submission check is totally automated so I don't think they can check these things.
I don't know about apples check but they take a long time for checking the apps.
