Bruno Bonnell presents... Xbox rocks my World!

Infogrames has once again reiterated its backing of Microsoft Xbox, announcing that it has 20 games in development for the console due out within 12 months. NASCAR Heat 2002 and Test Drive Off-Road Wide Open will actually launch with the console on November 8th. Rocks my World! Microsoft Xbox, Rocks my World! Infogrames! [Crazy, deeply disturbing body popping motions] Speaking in a prepared statement, Bruno Bonnell told journalists that "the technological power of Xbox has raised the bar for game developers, enabling our creative teams to push the envelope, and resulting in a new kind of entertainment experience for consumers". He's particularly proud because his company will be one of the largest third-party publishers of Xbox titles. Microsoft's J Allard also sang the publisher's praises. "Infogrames has a well earned reputation for developing high-quality games that have wide consumer appeal," he said. "They have recognized and skillfully incorporated the technological innovations of Xbox to create an enhanced player experience." We wonder if he'd say the same thing about their musical tastes.
