S'Not Video Game Darts Without Sid Waddell

darts.jpg It's worth monitoring the GamesPress feed on GI.biz for some of the choicest, often UK-centric obscuro press releases, and one of these would be Oxygen Interactive's announcement of voiceover talent for its PS2 darts game.

Here's the official website for the PDC World Championship Darts game (probably not to get a U.S. release!), and it's explained: "Scheduled for release at Christmas, Oxygen Interactive is pleased to announce, that the 'Voices of Darts', Sid Waddell and scorer, Russ Bray will provide the game's commentary."

Sid Waddell in particular is the, uhh, Madden of the darts world, if you will, and has an official website which includes some of his famous/witty sayings: " Steve Beaton. He’s not A-donis, he’s THE Donis". Or: "That was like throwing three pickled onions into a thimble." Or, indeed: "He looks about as happy as a penguin in a microwave." Now I want to move back to England and watch darts, darnit!
