Natasha Bedingfield puts on a gaming face.

August 27, 2008

In a sign that shows EA are considering their Boogie franchise as important as their soccer titles they have announced that Natasha Bedingfield a UK singer will be the face of Boogie SuperStar on the Wii. Bedingfield, who recently came to the attention of the US with her song Love Like This said that “Boogie SuperStar brings to life all the fun and excitement of performing”. So she’s got down the spokesperson part of the job and added that “Being on stage is such a thrill and it’s great to be a part of an EA video game that lets girls experience how much fun it is to express themselves and explore their own creativity by performing.”

Full previews and reviews of the title should be around on the net soon and we think this could be a good partnership for all involved. There is only the concern on the part of games players that if smaller publishers decide to spend money on a high profile spokesperson like the mammoth that is EA, then they would have less to spend on the actual game’s quality and bug testing.
