Dance!?

[spoo]

Acclaim is creating a first-of-its-kind massively multiplayer club dancing
game.

Our brand new online game called DANCE! has been kept secret while under
development, and now will be ready for Closed Beta testing in the coming
weeks. DANCE! is a really fun and addictive FREE online game that brings
the best chart-topping music and dancing gameplay right to your PC!

- Synchronize with the beat to perform the hottest club-style dance moves.
- Play with your friends and compete in dance battles to see who can keep
up.
- Customize your character just the way you want to look, with cool
clothing, accessories and special abilities.
- Meet other male and female players online, become a couple, or even get
married!

DANCE! will also include an unbelievable roster of hit music from some of
the top music artists on the planet (The amazing playlist is soon to be
announced!). As it's a game for you, we're putting the final power of
choice into your hands--by signing up, you'll be invited to vote for the
best songs.

The game is directed by video game industry veteran David Perry. "I've been
a huge fan of dancing games for years. For this game we've been secretly
working with incredible developers to be the first to bring a really cool
Massively Multiplayer Online Dance style game to the market," says Perry.

To register for the DANCE! beta testing team, simply sign in with your
Acclaim account on the DANCE! homepage at http://dance.acclaim.com, select

See you on the dance floor!

I just thought I would share

Waitwaitwait, didn't Acclaim go out of business?

Hahaha, that was my first thought too.

So Acclaim's still around while Clover was dissolved? Urge to kill rising...

Someone bought up the rights to the Acclaim name, with the intent of using it to brand its MMO games -- kind of like what Infogrames did with Atari, but not nearly as smart.

From Wikipedia entry:

n August 2005, former Activision executive Howard Marks purchased the name "Acclaim" for a reported $100,000. In the beginning of 2006, Marks formed a new company called Acclaim Games. According to a job listing for the company, Acclaim Games will "be the first US major brand to bring some of the most successful online games in the world, specifically designed to meet the community and multiplayer experience that the 36 million U.S. tweens and the 41 million European tweens want."
