Bite My Shiney PC-Metal Game

  1. Also on Fox... by Otter · · Score: 4, Interesting
    While a Futurama-themed arcade-style game doesn't especially excite me, this isn't the first Fox show they've turned into a game. Check out World's Scariest Police Chases . Now that's convergence!

    The real score would be a Temptation Island game, though. Tiffani may have been underutilized on the show, but I can assure you she'd play a much more prominent role in my fantasies, errrr, gaming.

  2. no thanks. by _ph1ux_ · · Score: 2, Interesting

    futurama is good for its writing. not its graphics. I can bet that the graphics in any futurama game will likely look close to the TV show - in which case, I'll play Hitman 2, UT(X) and other visually pleasing games.

    Its kind of like southpark on DVD - I bought the movie and watched it maybe two times ever.... waste of money.

  3. I hope there are good easter eggs in here by timothy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    - a Fry timeline would be fun

    - centerfolds; one of Leela, one of Zoidberg

    - Good soundbites from the show

    - Digs at Fox for letting go the best thing they had going

    - What else? :)

  4. This is questionable. by deadb0lt · · Score: 3, Interesting

    From my experience with Matt Groening spawned games, they all end up being really bad. The only good ones were "Bart VS The Space Mutants" and "Simpson's Bowling". It's too bad they get a competent team together and produce a great game. Simpsons with the right team of people could make a phenolemal game.

    Cross your fingers for next one guys.

    Just my 2 cents.

    I would create a sig, if only something of value could be said with just 120 chars.
