Ridiculing Releases: New Games the Week of 9/11
How is it possible to ridicule a title that’s the ultimate find-all-the-pickups, hide and seek adventure? Lego Star Wars is fun and all (and I’m excited for the sequel) but there are over 1,000 little pickups — in the form of one-dot Lego studs — in each stage. When a game goes that over the top it’s just hard to find an infantile alternate title to make fun of it so I’m not even gonna try.
