We were sitting here feeling bad about Child of Eden -- those sales numbers really cut into the "hope and happiness" vibe we were getting from the game -- when we got some happier news about two other beautiful games published by Ubisoft.

In its fiscal Q1 2012 sales release (PDF), Ubisoft declared a 45% increase in "online sales," up to€12.5 million. It highlighted two games as having "performed well": the XBLA versions of Outlandand Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes. The PSN versions, of course, were unavailable for most of the quarter, and thus probably didn't do as well.

Outland is an excellent game.

Child of Eden is nothing short of SUPERB.

Ain't tried Clash of Heroes yet.

As the spiritual successor to Rez i hoped Child of Eden would have done better....... come on folks, dip in to your pockets and try this amazing game.
