Wellicht niet helemaal onze doelgroep?
My Horse & Me roept gemengde gevoelens op. De meeste gamers op GameParty worden allesbehalve warm van paardenspellen en My Horse & Me is daar geen uitzondering op. Maar het feit dat de game wordt ontwikkeld door het Nederlands W!Games stemt ons tegelijkertijd ook weer tevreden. Een bezoekje aan onze trots developer leert ons dat we niet te maken hebben met een dertien-in-een-dozijn paardengame waarbij je je paardje moet verzorgen, maar dat het echt draait om de paardensport: springen. De game wordt zelfs gesponsord door de overkoepelende wereldpaardensportbond FEI, wat al zeer netjes is voor een eerste game. Wel, My Horse & Me verschijnt 23 november voor de Wii, PC en Nintendo DS.
