- Froderick, on 07/22/2008, -0/+0While that may be true, there are some games where just by looking at it and reading the back of the case, you KNOW will suck. Any "Deal or no deal" game falls into this category.

(They come with no cover, if you're still living in the 90s)- KokomoNYC, on 07/22/2008, -0/+3Wouldn't you just judge it by its title? I mean, I could hardly be objective in thinking about downloading a game called (to quote the article) "Robin Williams Goes to Hell."
- greatblackowl, on 07/22/2008, -0/+2You're right, man. That game does sound like a winner.
They even made a movie with that plot a few years back, and it was a pretty good one.

- kilogrammatic, on 07/22/2008, -0/+5I don't know, being a cross-eyed pitcher might add some interesting perspectives to the gameplay.
