Xbox 360 - Kameo Gone - A Little Girl’s Efforts Wasted

Posted on December 16, 2005 at 7:34pm AST (GMT-04:00)

My daughter has been playing Kameo on the Xbox 360 for hours (with the occasional cry for help when she gets to a boss she can’t beat by herself).

Today, when she went to play Kameo, she discovered that all her work had apparently been wasted. The Kameo save game had disappeared. 

I don’t know if it was a software glitch, or something accidental her brother might have done when playing Kameo himself, but regardless, the save game for Kameo has gone missing. Poof. And my daughter is rather distraught.

I have Googled to see if anyone else has had this problem with Kameo, and found nothing. So maybe this is an isolated incident. Or maybe I’m the first to publicly post about it. We’ll see.

In the meantime, I guess I need to start instituting an Xbox 360 save game back-up policy. Sad that it has come to this. Yet another thing that potentially limits the market potential of more advanced console devices to tech heads instead of ordinary people.

UPDATE - 12/18/05: I’m glad to report that this is not a game problem. My son admitted at dinner last night he was trying to start the game when he accidentally deleted his sister’s saved game. Now the question is whether or not forcing him to play Kameo until he gets back to where his sister had gotten to is considered punishment or a reward for poor judgement.
