It'll be interesting to see if he does make games with good stories and characters, as he said he wanted to do. Family games are okay, but I'd much rather see his talents applied to an RPG or a game with a greater story.
I saw a commercial for this game last week, so I guess it's out now. It didn't look too bad, but it seems to be just another family puzzle type thing. What I saw reminded me a little of Tetris and that game with the stack of blocks where you try to pull a block out without making the whole stack fall.
