    apart from Gameloft's Rayman 2, there's other 2 big releases expected for monday:
    -Ubisoft's ANNO Dawn of Discovery: The Harbor
    -Backflip Studios' Ragdoll Blaster 2 (It's not from a big studio, but the original version sold lots of copies)

    I'll add my voice and I'll be straight to the point.

    Please release Astro Ranch now. Don't wait. We Rule is currently a Canada only release. I've no intention of playing Rayman or whatever it is. Please just release the game already.

    The weekend is the time everybody has the time to play games like this, which require time, so I think it is the best idea to release it today. I honestly don't want to wait much longer :p...I bet most of you can't wait either.

    Trust me I want it too but I think it needs an official release date. Also at the very least, don't let it come out the same day as We Rule.

    Hmm, You defo cant release it on monday with the gameloft release. I'm not sure why the weekend is such a bad idea i would of thought people would buy games on their days off? I could be wrong.

    oh damn!!!

    1. you either release it ASAP and get some customers before they waste it on the rayman craptastic platformer

    2. hold it off for a week or so and let the rayman craptastic platformer hype die down. we rule is free so that isnt much of a problem. rag doll blaster might be a problem though cuz it will probably start at 2.99, the same price as astro ranch:( so people will most likely choose one or the other. ANNO: i have no clue what the hell that is, nor do i want to know. :cool:

    Just release now. Thr kingdom building is only in Canada. And saturday and sunday would be suicide. Monday is Rayman. So releasing now would be best.

    If you release it today, all of us will play it over the weekend, we rule won't do anything as it is free, and rayman is Monday. Besides, you guys were supposed to release it in February right?

    Lol, let the post flood begin again.
    As much as I want Astro Ranch out now, it's more organized to have an official release date. If people buy the other games before Astro Ranch, chances are they wanted those games more, anyway. I'd say keep professional and release it the easiest way possible.

    ok. i think they should release it today. we rule is not a problem. we rule is free and rayman SHOULD only appeal to people who want an unoriginal, boring platformer. i guess if you release today, you can get a head start. idk. im not a marketer.

    Actually, Rayman is original considering it was released back in the day of 16-bit games. However, repromoting classics as Nintendo Wii does seems to be pretty popular and can permit reasonable competition.

    Please release it today, I'm not sure why the weekend would be so bad, but monday is not good because of rayman. We rule shouldn't interfere since it is free, having it release today would be the greatest news in the world! (or out of this world)

    We rule does make a difference. Even though it is a free game people will play it instead of buying astro ranch. However it is only out in canada.

    Actually, I say release it before the worldwide launch of we rule, because they are both farming-style games. Considering we rule will probably not die down for atleast a week or two, take advantage of the head start.

    I agree it should be released today, I usually play games on the weekends mainly because i have no time during the weekdays.
