The new official title is Sesame Street: Once Upon A Monster. The best news, it's being developed by Double Fine, the studio that brought us Brutal Legend and Psychonauts. Why is that the best news? I find it the best challenge for a studio to go from developing games oriented towards teenagers and adults to a game for small children. A test to their skill.
I have to be honest, I am looking forward to this title. Even though it would have been great for Double Fine to work on Brutal Legend 2.
As a kid I remember watching Sesame Street and anything muppet related and would love to share this with my 4 year old. It was a great time in my life. The excitement is really because this game will open the doors for more families to enjoy quality time with each other. It will give many parents a way to connect with their children by sharing two greats in their childhood: Sesame Street and gaming.
This game could also show that there are some learning qualities for children that lie in playing video games. Sure there are tons of learning systems out there such as the VTech and the Leapfrog Leapster systems but these systems don't seem very fun and play more like schoolwork. Making games that can show fun in learning and that learning is fun is what kids games should be and what better way than a Sesame Street game for the Kinect. Here's to hoping it gets done right!
