A completely sarcasm free analysis of the F.A. Cup Final

Right, I'm going to apologise in advance. I really am very, very, one hundred percent sorry. I know, I know, I hate football as much as you all as well, but I think it's time that we dealt with it. So, let's get it over with.

So, the thingy, I should give a brief description of what football is. 22 men (or women) go onto a pitch and beat the s-eh? Oh, that's rugby, my apologies. Football is 22 overpaid, slightly thick and sometimes slightly balding people running around after a ball for 90 minutes like a pet dog and after 45 minutes a whistle blows so they can go back to see their owners and have a nap. However, when they get to the ball, they have to use their feet and kick the ball into the other teams net, which causes people watching the event to yell obscenities at their TV or their loved ones and football team.

What a lovely sport.

So, who were the two teams playing Tiddlywinks tonight? These ones:

 This one is "Arsenal" or "The Gunners". I think

 This one is "Aston Villa" or "Tiger Woods" probably.

So, 11 vs 11 with one man running around after them, think of the 22 players as sheep, and the referee as a German Shepard that hands out cards and has a whistle. Even before the match started, Prince William was shaking peoples hand, I think that's what they do before executions. Shake hands with a royal, man with axe comes out. heads roll.

Then all of a sudden this bloke stood up and began to sing the national anthem, every patriot in the whole of the UK had their clothes turned into a United Kingdom flag and had crumpets in one hand and tea in the other, they all stood in unison, yelling at the top of their lungs that God needs to save our Queen.

German Shepard blew the whistle and everyone ran around chasing the ball, then Arsenal scored. Four times actually, Tiger Woods scored zero goals, no slam dunks, absolutely no home runs, zilch on the pin's and didn't even get close to a strike or touchdown. I think they did pretty well to get to the final, I was rooting for them to win, because I didn't give a shit and flipped a coin to find out which team had my full support.

What's the honest point of football anyway? It's the only place where you can see grown men cry because they won an empty, large, silver cup I suppose but that's really it. So yeah, it was boring, in the hour and a half of my life that I wasted I could've watched Shaun of the Dead, or Hot Fuzz, or paint dry. But, experiments are experiments and look what happened.

People will probably use this as an excuse to get a bank holiday I suppose.

Game Reviews #15 - The Simpsons Road Rage



Platform: Nintendo GameCube
Price I Paid: £2.50

Well, may as well finish off all the Simpsons Games I own on GameCube, so let's review The Simpsons Road Rage. Obviously not better than Road Rage, but still a very good game. The story for this game is that Mr. Burns has made some evil bus brigade to take over the town or something. This just isn't right! How dare Mr. Burns provide buses, reducing pollution on the environment, giving people lifts to and from their areas, so you play through the game with 25 different characters, with different cars. That's pretty good, nice plot set up, I suppose and there's a large variety of characters to choose from, that is after you've unlocked them all.

Better talk about the controls. Slippy, is what I'd call them. But, slippy in a good way. I remember that this game was critically given the "Meh" out of ten, saying the controls were poor. But I enjoyed them. They're slippy, yes, but it makes me think it's all part of the chaos that's taking part around you, I know what they mean by the fact that the controls aren't the best, but it's still playable and enjoyable.

I mentioned that there are a lot of characters to unlock, you can also unlock new areas to explore and drive around. Every time you hit a certain amount of cash, you can unlock either a new character or map. You can choose what you unlock. So you can basically get all the characters you want, then go for all the maps, then clean up the rest of the characters. I like the idea of choosing what you unlock, but it removes a sense of challenge for me. Set objectives for certain characters, for example beating them in a race would be ideal.

Graphical wise, it's, okay. It's like Simpsons Hit and Run, but a bit lower resolution, I'm not one to talk about graphics, because that shouldn't influence you playing a game.

While the game is fun, the slippy controls may put some gamers off and the lack of character unlock challenge is a let down. With that in mind...

The Simpsons Road Rage gets a 7/10

The Ten Best Monty Python Sketches

Monty Python is an absolute classic in British comedy, the show has, more often than not, given us some fantastic sketches, so here's my ten favourite sketches. NOTE: OPINIONS, OPINIONS. These are in no particular order. ALSO SPOILERS AND STUFF SO Y'KNOW.


The Cheese Shop Sketch primarily features John Cleese and Michael Palin, wherein Cleese's character would like to purchase some "cheesy commodities" while Palin is completely out of cheese. With Graham Chapman dancing in the background with Terry Gilliam, Cleese's patience soon runs out and he ends up shooting Palin through the head.


Another sketch featuring Cleese, this time as a Hungarian living in England who finds his way into a Tobacconist ran by Gilliam. Cleese uses his Hungarian to English handbook to make conversation with the store clerk, however the handbook doesn't allow for the right translations, with Cleese asking Gilliam if he would like to "go back to his place" and when Graham Chapman, who plays a police officer, arrests Cleese, he states "my nipples explode with delight."


The Argument Clinic shows Michael Palin attempting to have an argument, however finds himself in a variety of different offices, ran by Chapman, Gilliam and Idle, he finds his way into the argument clinic, ran by Cleese, who gives him his course on argument. This sketch is great because of it's fourth wall breaks nearer to the end of the sketch, with the police arresting everyone for partaking in a sketch.


This sketch is a classic, it features yet again Cleese and Palin. Cleese works for the Ministry of Silly Walks, a government branch who are looking to find silly walks and Palin thinks he's found the next big thing. He has not, as Cleese explains to him. It also features the main downside to silly walking, which is not being able to hold up a tray of tea very well whatsoever.


Imagine, if you will, the Olympics, but with five posh people who all wear bowler hats and are completely stupid that must go through an obstacle course, including waking up a neighbour, kicking a homeless person and finally ending it with shooting yourself in the head. All five British Python's took part in the sketch, not going to tell you who won however, that'd be too much of a spoiler.


This is probably the most well known and appreciated Monty Python sketch, again featuring Cleese and Palin, wherein Cleese has a cold and has recently purchased a parrot from Palin's boutique. The only problem is, the parrot is dead. This sketch is considered one of the funniest in comedic history so it's worth watching.


Cleese is an instructor who guides Palin, Idle, Chapman and Gilliam on how to fend for themselves against the vicious atrocity that is a banana and other various pieces of fruit, vegetables, tigers and guns.

The Lumberjack Song

The Lumberjack Song sketch primarily features Palin and Connie Booth, Palin sings a merry song about how good it is to be a lumberjack, I'll let the video do the talking though.

Dirty Fork Sketch

The dirty fork sketch has all five Pythons in it, with Chapman and his wife out at a restaurant, he complains about having a dirty fork, which leads to Gilliam and Palin crying, Idle dying of horror and Cleese almost killing the two with a butcher's knife.

Mr Gumby and the Brain Specialist

This may be the funniest out of all of them for me, Palin plays Mr Gumby, a slightly stupid man who says his brain hurts, this leads to him getting his brain checked and a surgery is put into place to remove his brain. All six Pythons are in this sketch I think, so it's one of the few times where all six are in the same shot.

You'll notice I didn't include the movie sketches, that's for another day. Enjoy your Monty Python.

Top 10 Games to have on a desert island

Oh no! You're stranded on a desert island, forever, but there's somehow electric, every single games console, a steady internet connection, food, drink and a lovely place to live. How convenient! But you may only have 10 Games. Here's the 10 Games I'd pick if I were on a desert island. These are only games I've PLAYED and they are my OPINIONS. This list is in no particular order

Rules:

- Only games I've played
- No workshop addons/mods at all for PC Games (does not include DLC)
- One game per franchise
- Collection Packs of Games are allowed, but only one.

 Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Xbox 360)

I absolutely adore the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, I wasn't too keen on Oblivion though, which is probably why I picked the sequel. I've sank a little bit too much time into this game now, both on PC and Xbox and I've barely scratched the surface. This game holds a special place in my heart and it'd be nice to be in the great outdoors in a game, rather than real life. The sheer content of this game is fantastic, including hundreds upon hundreds of quests to complete, weapons to collect and that doesn't even include the DLC!

Cook, Serve, Delicious! (Steam)

Cook, Serve, Delicious! is basically one of the Papa flash games made into a much better and broader game on Steam. In essence, it's a restaurant simulator but with a hefty chunk relating to managing customers, cleaning things and upgrading your restaurant, very fun and I could definitely play it for hours at a time.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 (Steam)

I need something to remind me of England don't I? So what better way to do that than with Euro Truck Simulator 2? Well, I can think of a few ways but this seems like the most fun to do, transporting cargo all around Europe, with the DLC adding Africa and Russia if my memory serves me correctly.

Fallout New Vegas (Xbox 360)

Ahh, Fallout, I never played it that much to be quite honest, I wish I'd played a lot more of it, I could do but I can't be bothered to go back and start it again, that's the problem I have with Fallout, I start playing but never finish, so being abandoned on an island would be the perfect opportunity to play the game

Civilization V (Steam)

I love me a good strategy game, I also enjoy history or historical related games, so it's no surprise that Civilization V is on this list, I'm on and off with this game, either playing it for hours and hours at a time or maybe just a half hour session every now and then. But what I can guarantee is fun and that's just the standalone game, while the DLCs are pricey, they do add a lot of content into the game.

Metal Slug Anthology (PSP)

Anthology collections are great. Metal Slug is great. The PSP was, well, it was alright I guess. However, when the Metal Slug anthology came out for PSP, I was all over it. I've adored the game series ever since I was small. I'd definitely keep this on me at all times if I could.

Terraria (Steam)

Yeah, I prefer this over Minecraft. There's a lot more stuff in this game than there is in Minecraft, it's on Steam and the updates are absolutely massive albeit a little spread out. A nice 2D game to play and build my own town in or something like that.

No More Room in Hell (Steam)

Zombie games are great and never have I had more fun than I did when playing No More Room in Hell. It really is a well made survival game, it's free and you're play-through will never be the same two times through. A nice variety of weapons and such, with ammo being very scarce and a lot of little bits dotted about, which is fantastic and everything I love about this game

The Sims 3 (Steam)

The Sims 3, a lovely game. It's basically a life simulator. I need to simulate my life and pretend I have friends somehow on the island, so what better way to do it than to play the Sims and trap them all in a room while I watch them cook themselves to death.

Mario Kart DS (DS)

This was a tough one, I was gonna pick Double Dash because that was the game from my childhood but looking back on that game, it didn't have that many tracks and I played Mario Kart DS a lot and I still do, I prefer it over most of the other Mario Kart games, it has a nice variety of characters, cars and tracks to pick from, not to mention the AI on the battle mode is superb.

So, there's the ten games I'd take with me onto a desert island. I could probably do one of these for movies, honestly who cares, it's more content.

Game Reviews #14 - The Simpsons Hit and Run



Platform: Nintendo GameCube
Store Page
Price I Paid: Free!

Movie and TV show tie in games are never good, see the plethora of games available for that such as Lost and CSI. But there are some good movie tie in games, most notably the James Bond games and this. The Simpsons Hit and Run, which is a GTA-esq type game, but with Simpsons characters and locations for a more friendly audience.

I've had this game for years, but this is the first time I've actually completed it until now, fully, 100%, All the cards, vehicles, races and so on. It sounds easy, but it was. Yeah, it was fun, I enjoyed my time with it and it's as fun as I remember it.

Basically the plot is Krusty is releasing Buzz Cola, but that's evil or something and you play as a variety of characters to do, something. The story isn't really the best, it's strung together through the missions of each level and some lovely cutscenes throughout the game. One thing I am a fan of is the cutscenes, they're well animated, have the original voice actors doing the voices and are pretty lengthy at times.

Control wise, it's good. Very tight controls, movement is assigned to the left analogue stick, it's all the usual controls that you would have used on GTA. Driving is the same, very tight controls and easy to use. There are a variety of vehicles in the game, lots of them being featured on the show in some way, such as the Car Built for Homer and Marge's SUV.

One thing that bugged me are some of the missions are basically just "Collect X amount of Y before the time runs out." There's a lot of them, you collect many different things, monkeys, ketchup packets and even roadkill. You do the monkey and roadkill one in the same level, i.e Bart's level 2.

With all that in mind, I can safely recommend that you play this game, the repetitive missions may put you off, but the tight controls, GTA-esq setting, voice acting and overall comedy of the game is flawless and phenomenally good.

The Simpsons Hit and Run gets a 9/10

The TV shows you need to watch #2

Aye, another one of these lists, because I can't think of anything else to fit into the day, so here's four more TV Shows, albeit comedy, that you should start watching.



Places to Watch: DVD, probably YouTube?

Fawlty Towers is one of the most famed and idolized British sitcoms there is, it features a great cast of John Cleese, Prunella Scales, Connie Booth and Andrew Sachs. The show follows the four trying to run a hotel in Torquay, with a lot of poor service from Basil Fawlty (John Cleese) it ends in a lot of funny mistakes that often lead to the plot of the episode. Only twelve episodes, so it shouldn't take long to watch through everything.



Places to Watch: DVD, YouTube

Another comedy show starring John Cleese, along with Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and the now deceased Graham Chapman. The show is comedy gold, much like That Mitchell and Webb Look, it's a sketch show, but Monty Python's Flying Circus is one of the most respected and funny comedy sketch shows there is.




Places to Watch: Shush.se, DVD

This show was made by the people who made the Simpsons. This show is better and funnier than the Simpsons and this show has come to an end. Features an all star cast, with John DiMaggio voicing Bender, one of the funniest characters in the show.



Places to Watch: Netflix, DVD

This show has also finished, but it's well worth it. The only thing wrong with this is the ending, not gonna spoil it, prepare to be disappointed though. The show is great and well worth watching however.

So there's four more TV Shows to sink your teeth into.

Mini Reviews #5 - Dead Bits



Platform: Steam
Store Page
Price I Paid: Free!

Ugh, another one of "these games". You know the ones, they play some shitty dubstep while you play through a cheaply and poorly made game with Minecraft graphics. Oh, and it's a zombie game. We're off to a great start aren't we? It's also...interesting to see that whenever there's a sale on this game, it can be purchased for around four to seven pence, which is absurd.

Graphically wise, it's poor. Very poor. Little to no effort on that part, but that shouldn't matter as long as the gameplay is good...It is not. Very poor gameplay as well, enemies will just walk in a straight line one at a time, one behind the other for you to beat to death with a silver stick wand thing or a poorly drawn gun. There's two types of enemies, small zombie things and bigger zombie things.

Now, I'd like to present to you, how the game combats it's poor level design.



Yeah, that's how you get around poor level design. mock the player for doing a logical step towards killing an enemy. Bear in mind this fact: Those enemies are pretty tough to kill and that's a very, very, small platform. 1500 times 3 is 4500. 4500 Health, 100 damage done by the gun each time, yeah, mmhm, yeah.

My GCSE in statistics concludes that this is utter bullshit. Yeah, that's the graphics of the game as well.

I'd also like to point out the music, a constant loop of dubstep that not even Skrillex is bad enough to make. Sounds like a tin can being eaten by a penguin, good God it's awful. You can't turn the music off either, if there is then I couldn't find the option for it. This game could've been good if it wasn't so shit.

Dead Bits gets a 0/10

Game Reviews #13 - The Darkness II




Platform: Steam
Store Page
Price I Paid: Free! (TremorGames)

I'm gonna put it straight out there, I didn't play the first game because I didn't think it looked any good. I only got this game because it was cheap on TremorGames, I'll probably be able to get the game pretty cheap somewhere now so I'll pick up the first one and give that a review further down the line.

So, story wise from what I can gather, Jackie got rid of his tentacle octopus backpack of death thing and decides to go out for a nice meal with his friends or something, then it all goes topsy turvy and the restaurant turns into a gun fight, with Jackie releasing the Darkness once more to aid him when he almost died. That's all I'm saying, no more of the story shall be revealed.

The controls are the usual, walking is WASD and so on, pick up guns is Q, slash your tentacles with the mouse. It's very smooth gameplay and enjoyable fun. You can stun an enemy with Q and then hit Q again to do a variety of moves on them, such as the "Wishbone" and the "Eat his heart and get more health" moves.

Gun wise, there isn't much ammo, which is nice, you can just eat people and steal their ammo instead. I must say, the AI is stupid, they have sticks, I have a Kalashnikov and mutant death arms, so they decided to run at me. Poor buggers never stood a chance. But it's fun, certainly not worth £20, it's a bit lacking, the plot is generic. Character X likes Now Dead Character Y etc etc etc...

Another major problem is the light. Yeah, you'll be stopping every five or so seconds to shoot out a light to shoot a box to open a door and shoot a light. It gets repetitive, very fast. it makes sense, but it becomes a chore rather than a feature.

A fun little game that you may or may not enjoy with some neat little mechanics, however it's let down by it's generic plot and a couple of annoying mechanics to balance out the good stuff. It's also expensive which is a problem for a 4 or so year old game.

The Darkness 2 gets a 7/10

Game Collection Update - April 2015

Another month has flown over, now I have to do a mandatory collection update, this month has been surprisingly slow on new games, well, last time I checked I hadn't bought a game in two weeks so something isn't right. When I say a slow month, I mean Jesus Christ about ten games. So, what've we got?

Yeah, I got that big N64 bundle at a car boot sale but I mentioned that in March, I'll quickly go over it here though.

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. The Gold Cartridge, in the box, but no manual. - £3
Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask. In the box, with manual. - £3
Donkey Kong 64. In the box, without manual, box is in bad condition. - £3
Super Mario 64. In the box, no manual. - £1
Lylat Wars. - £1
Turok 2: Seeds of Evil. - £1
N64 Rumble Pack. - £1
Guitar Hero God of Rock Statue. - £2.50

So that was a great start to the month, which is probably why I haven't had much luck with games this month. The rest of the games were mainly filler titles, here they are:

Kinect Adventures - Xbox 360 - 25p
Crackdown - Xbox 360 - £2
Simpsons Road Rage - Gameboy Advance - Free because of store credit
Shrek Superslam - Gameboy Advance - Free because of store credit
Rayman 3 - Gameboy Advance - Free because of store credit
Killer Instinct - Gameboy - £2
Farcry 4 - Xbox 360 - £25
The Escapists - Xbox One - £20
Wolfenstein: The New Order - Xbox One - £20
A lot of posters, including Batman Arkham Knight, Call of Duty and Titanfall
Section 8 - Xbox 360 - £2

So yeah, a pretty lack luster week, those two Xbox One games were bought because I didn't honestly have anything to play through on my Xbox One and I need to use the poor machine for something other than YouTube and 4oD. Wolfenstein is alright, Escapists is naff. FarCry 4, also terribly bad, a review should be out for that soon. Simpsons Road Rage and Rayman 3 were some childhood games of mine that I traded in before I started collecting, I have a feeling that they're my childhood copies because the store I traded them into closed down liquidated their stock to the other game shops.

Mini Reviews #4 - Metal Slug Defence



Platform: Steam
Store Page
Price I Paid: Free!

I am a die hard Metal Slug fan, I absolutely adore the series and each and every game in the series, but this one is just a cash grab, slap in the face to the community and fans. This could have been an entirely different game if it didn't have Metal Slug slapped onto it. So, how was it?

It functions, I guess. Well, that's a lie. I have a laptop that allows touch screen use, very good, don't like getting fingerprints on the screen but this game is a mobile port, so it makes sense that the game would allow you to use touch screen computers/laptops. It barely works, it sometimes works when you want to have a look around some of the items, but it's easier to left click and pull the mouse along. Don't bother trying to push buttons with the touch screen either, wont work at all. You can tell it's a mobile game, at the start screen it says "Tap to start" so it gave me a bad impression to begin with.

Graphics wise, I'm impressed to be honest, glad they got the traditional graphics style as the Metal Slug series, along with the music. They kind of changed the music, made it a little higher pitched. One big problem with the game is mission 3, actually all missions for that matter, One slip up and there is little to no way of getting back into the game. You will lose, lots.

It's a nice idea that wasn't executed well, with a premium currency like all mobile games, I can't recommend this to anyone, not even die hard Metal Slug fans, at least they get the characters and story right...

Metal Slug Defence gets a 4/10

Games You Haven't Played #4

More games you haven't played! Yeah, that's about all I have to say, here's three more games that you might not have played.

Call of Duty Roads to Victory



Call of Duty Roads to Victory is one of those forgotten games that I played because I kept finding money around the house and would proceed to take that money and put it away. This was about £26 or so and I'd say it was worth every penny I "found". The graphics, they're good for the PSP, some very unique missions, especially the "Lucky 13" mission where you move around a plane shooting numerous amounts of planes to the floor, blowing up lots of civilians in the process.

Section 8



I found this in Grainger Games, it was £2 and it's got some fairly good reviews dotted around the place, from the back of the box it looks like a good, futuristic version of Battlefield. It hasn't even been in my Xbox yet, it just looked fun.

Metal Slug 3



Every single person I've talked to hasn't got a bloody clue what this game is, I mean, it's an SNK game for God's sake. A side scrolling shooter, which is a hell of a lot of fun to play with friends, especially on Steam and Xbox 360, the other games in the series are also fantastic but this is the one I remember most fondly.

There's three more games to get started on, I'll just wait here until you finish them all.

A Quick Update

Right, I haven't been producing as many posts as I could have in the past few weeks, mainly because I don't have a laptop to actually do anything on, I'm writing this on a bloody school computer, couple busy things I've got going on like exams are in the way as well, but lucky for all of you is that I have a couple of reviews stockpiled so the one post a week wont be a problem at all.

Hopefully content will resume as normal by next week or so.

Game Reviews #12 - Damnation



Platform: Steam
Store Page: I wouldn't if I were you.
Price I Paid: Free! (TremorGames) I still paid too much for this drivel.

Blimey. That's what sums up this game. I was genuinely looking forward to playing this. Ultimately, it's bad. So bad in fact I could only get so far through the game because my game glitched and just downright refused to let me make a jump at a ledge. So, I'll try my best to construct an opinion of what I played.

Storyline wise, nothing special. Almost non-existant to be perfectly honest. So our almost fedora hat wearing friend Rorke is the guy we play as. He's generic action hero from every game ever mind you so don't be surprised if you think you're playing a different, better game. You're accompanied by two generic characters, woman and ethnic character so it ticks all the boxes for an anti racism cast and you're plonked into the game.

Right off the bat, you'll notice the graphics, for 2009 are very meh. Much like the graphics, the voice acting is meh as well. Very bland characters with no real purpose and obvious gruff voice for the action man of the story that is Rorke. I remember watching the trailer for this and getting excited for it, then I forgot about it and found it on Steam. I seriously can't recommend this game, at all. One of the "selling points" was that it had a whole 10 Steampunk weapons and it gave off a sense of "Vertigo" when climbing. No joke, that's what they decided would sell their game.

No salvagable good part about this game, at least it functions I suppose? Nothing interesting whatsoever in this game, only buy it if you really want to play something terrible or are a collector.

Damnation gets a 0/10

Game Reviews #11 - Peter Jacksons King Kong



Platform: Xbox 360
Store Page: No.
Price I Paid: £2.95 (Too much for this...)

Ugh, this game. I'm gonna be upfront about it, it's bad. I picked this up because the Gamerscore was apparently easy if you suffered through the game, which it is. 100G per mission is pretty good. Do I really have to talk about the game? Fine.

The graphics are horrific, I know the console was new and everything at the time but the graphics looked bad all the way back then too. There's a weird system where you can have people throw guns at you when you're out of ammo, this basically means you have a walking armoury for the first portion of your mission, you will then rely on sticks and fire to get you through the missions. There's a thing for burning bushes until it opens a door in this game, which, is uhm, I don't even know.

Now, obviously the selling point of this game was that you would be able to play as King Kong, not Jack or Rose or whatever their name is. So, how is it playing as King Kong? Before I tell you, I think I should show you some of the reviews this game got, somehow.

Metacritic: 80/100
Gamerankings: 81%
Eurogamer: 8/10

How did a movie tie in game, with one of the down right worst casts, get positive reviews from Metacritic? I honestly do not understand.

But, playing as King Kong. I remember way back playing this on a PS2 when it first came out and I was honestly unimpressed with playing as Kong. It's still really unimpressive. It's clunky and the graphics are bad, even for it's time. Most good games, like the Mario series on GameCube still (in my opinion) have some fantastic graphics that stand up today. Of course, you shouldn't base a good game on the graphics but I thought I'd make a special note of this because they are in fact awful.

If you took the King Kong missions out of this game then you could just as easily have some sort of weird Call of Duty esc. setting with poor voice acting, so Call of Duty Ghosts on an Island basically.

It's clunky, badly made, poor voice acting and doesn't tie in with the movie, I don't remember floating bats in either versions of the King Kong Movie. If it wasn't for the easy amount of achievements then this game would get a flat out zero and the fact they tried something with the weapon throwing system between characters was decent enough I suppose, it was worth a try.

Peter Jackson's King Kong the Official Game of the Movie (which is a mouthful) gets a 2/10
