Conde Nast for Gamers?

Conde Nast, the publishing company that owns beloved magazines like Vogue, W, and Lucky has just entered the world of gaming. The game, available on iTunes, is called Fashion Hazard and lets user play the role of a model trying to make it in the fashion industry. Players begin as Ellie Redburn, the farm girl from Kansas starting from the bottom and having to work their way up through a series of interactive games and challenges.

When I first saw the images and the video, I have to admit I was pretty disappointed. First of all, I feel that for the level Conde Nast is on, a video game doesn't seem to fit their customer. Secondly, it just looks cheap. For all the money those magazines spend on creating beautiful photo shoots, I'd think when they decide to release a game it would be top notch with the best of the best. Today's technology is so great nowadays with the high def and everything, but this game looks like it came from the early 90's. Third, I think if they want to tap into the gaming market they should've tried something on Xbox Kinect or Wii. It could still be a modeling industry type game, but have the players do the actual posing and walking to make it interactive. I just think this game needs a total makeover. Now, I want to know what you think. Check out the video below and make sure you leave a comment.
