What do you think of when you hear the word "arena"? Perhaps you think of a football game, or a huge concert, or maybe even the magazine that is for liberals looking to vent some frustration at the Bush administration. Okay, maybe you don't think of Arena Magazine, but after looking at this Game Gear game I'm starting to think that maybe you should. This cover certainly doesn't show the type of arena that would house a football game or a boxing match; it looks more like the type of Arena that Iraq and Afghanistan have turned into. Apparently this type of arena is just an all out war in a future world where people don't mind that their city is engulfed in fire.

But it's not the lack of a traditional arena that makes this cover so bad, it's that lead character they decided to put front and center. Here we have a man who looks like the anorexic version of The Thing from the Fantastic Four. Look at that guy's waist; it's smaller than Paris Hilton's! And what's with that skin problem, buddy? Is there no Lubriderm in the future? Apparently they are still selling hair spray, because it's hard to make your hair stick out like that without some sort of gel. Why is this dude even wearing a shirt? It's next to useless now that he's killed a bunch of people in it, and it's not like people are going to be offended if he takes it off. I think people are going to be more concerned about the fire in the background and that tank that is creeping up on the dude. At least he was able to find boots to match his hideous skin, that's not an easy thing to do in a world where war is king and people look like they're made of rock.
