Activision Value

Activision Value at a Glance

Activision Value operated as a distinct imprint within the broader Activision family from 1997 until 2011. Based in Santa Monica, California, this publisher focused on volume rather than high-budget exclusives. They released 36 games under their own name and developed two titles directly. Their catalog spans multiple decades but shows a clear shift in output over time. The 1990s saw only one release. The 2000s became the primary era with 30 games. Activity slowed significantly in the 2010s where they published six titles before ceasing operations. The company concentrated heavily on niche simulation and sports genres. Their top categories include Simulator, Sport, and Shooter, each holding roughly a dozen entries. They also touched Adventure and Strategy five times each. Most of their work targeted the PC platform with 29 games, followed by Xbox 360 with 13 titles. Older hardware like PlayStation 2 and Wii also saw significant support. This distribution suggests they aimed for broad accessibility across mainstream systems rather than exclusive console partnerships. Quality control appears inconsistent throughout their history. The average rating across 16 titled games sits at 58.3 out of 100. Their portfolio includes one great title rated above 80 and eight good titles between 60 and 79. However, five mixed scores and two poor ratings indicate a significant number of releases failed to meet basic standards. The highest-rated game was History Civil War: Secret Missions from 2008 with an 80 score. Other notable entries like Cabela's African Safari and Cabela's Big Game Hunter series achieved solid 75-point marks. Recent releases toward the end of their run in late 2011 show a similar pattern. Cabela's Survival: Shadows of Katmai received a 75 rating, while Cabela's Adventure Camp landed at 65. Jewel Quest: Expeditions scored 71.5. These figures suggest they maintained a moderate level of quality for their specific audience during their final years. Their output was not massive compared to industry giants, but they remained active for over a decade targeting fans of hunting sims and casual strategy games.
