Last wrestling game I played was WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain.
That was properly fun.
Hard to believe it was 20 years ago.

Mortal Kombat II is the only one here with a cover that could've been released today.
It looks stylish, understated, and powerful.
I can only imagine how exciting it would've been at the time.

I can't remember what it was like to choose your games
often based entirely on cover art.

@lordbeefjerky: Probably just didn't like Ashley going into a bin and Luis admiring her “ballistics”, so decided to write a review and get revenge.
That seems to be how it goes these days.

Shadow Man: The Chronicles of Reddick.
I can't say I was a particular fan.
I could barely remember his name most of the time,
but his presence on screen was fantastic.
Every time I saw him in something it was a treat.
RIP Lance. I'll see you Deadside.

@santinegrete: Oh you're right.
I did forget a fourth categroy:
d) People who wanted to support the devs financially anyway.
Even mid-to-large studios can have their country invaded I suppose.

But you can always use GOG and store the game on a USB stick.
Doesn't get much better than that.

@boodger: Well, at $60, even if I think I'm right in principle
I suppose a 10/10 game is not the place to argue about it.

@timemasheen: What can I say. I'm an educator.

@olddadgamer: .
I think they'll largely leave romanticised literary works alone.
But we've still a long way to go for movies.
No movie that started as a movie is off the table.

I was going to write,
“I wouldn't put it past them to make Passion of the Christ 2.”
But paused for a moment, and decided to look it up first.
...
And sure enough they're releasing exactly that next year.
Jesus Christ. Literally.
That movie started as a Family Guy joke ffs.
