I do wish you'd stop sitting on the fence Ellie.

Really.

Oh and First!

Fantastic.
Negative reviews are without a doubt some of the most fun things to read.

Surprised this managed a 2/10.

Better than.... umm....somthing that got 1/10 I guess?

Ouch. I'll be avoiding this one.

With a strapline like that you know it's going to be a good read.

Ellie do you think your employers are being sexist and make you review all the shitty, unfunny sexist games?

Don't even rent it. It's the worst 360 game I've played in 2009 so far.

Is this genuinely bad then? I can't really tell from an Ellie review. I remember playing some leisure suit larry games 15 years ago but can't remember how bad or good they were.

An entire review without a single mention that this comes from Team 17 who have fallen a long way since the Alien Breed and Worms. Perhaps only a new Alien Breed or, even better, a XBLA version of Arcade Pool???

If you're reading this Martyn Brown, that's spelt P-L-E-A-S-E!

Can't remember his name but a while back someone from T17 confirmed Alien Breed is happening on the forums.

Anyway shame about larry....but his games were never THAT good anyway....

oh yes... this was the "innapropriate" game. So said my father. Once..., a long time ago...

Oh dear, Team17 developed this? Doing a game unrelated to Worms must have been confusing.

I don't know, at least they used to be funny, enjoyable adventure games. With this and Magna Cum Laude, it seems the developers actually forgot that it was the writing that made the games enjoyable, not the fact that it was all about sex. Oh, and this is from Team 17? For shame.

Hi.

I'm more of a reader of Eurogamer rather than a poster but just wanted to say good work on another great review Ellie. Not only have you saved me a bit of cash but you also gave me a good giggle as well.

Keep up the good work,
Bear

"dreadlocks on white people"

Second time today I laughed out loud at the internet (The first being the Zero Punctuation Halo Wars rant at the end). Classic stuff.

Is this what Team17 are doing these days? I seem to remember they made some good games for the Amiga many moons ago.

Nice review Ellie, but as 'erotic as psoriasis'? I feel itchy and require a shower after just reading that! Ick.

Bought it, played it, completed it 100%, enjoyed it. There, that's my mini-review flying in the face of yet another predictable diatribe from Ellie *yawn*

It's cheap, cheerful, and fun, WTF do you expect for £15 for God's sake!?

I like to play a game on Eurogamer where I try and guess whether the game is good or bad just by reading the sub-title from the review headline. This one actually made me laugh out loud.

@BBIAJ

There are tons of cheaper games on XBLA/PSN/da internets which would probably crap all over this . Let alone the deals I've found from last years game I didn't buy then and can now because they cost me 15-20 bucks. Why waste money on this when I can buy freaking Fable 2 or Dead Space for 3 pounds more, Why waste money on this?

If it's bad on the 360. Believe me when I tell you it's even worse on the PS3...

Low res textures, scenery pop up.. Bloody awful..

Is anyone surprised? As a huge old school Sierra fan, I am glad this is the only corpse that's been exhumed and raped. There are better and funnier sex comedy adventures on Newgrounds.

Awesome review Ellie, made me laugh :D

I bet Al Lowe is loving this :)

Seriously, why on earth did they stop doing good adventure games like back in the good days. I miss my kings/space/police quest...

Oh, Larry, our poor Larry.

Why isn't motherfucking Sierra dead?. Why do they have to keep releasing this shit and tarnishing our memories?. I mean the current Sierra, of course. The old Sierra died long, long ago.
