Lure of the Temptress by Virgin - Cover Review

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Lure of the Temptress, the sexiest thing about this episode of The Cover Critic. At first glance this cover doesn't look so bad, the artwork is well done and the logo is definitely unique. I'm not sure I like the name much, but if the game is fun then I can forgive a silly name. If I saw this on a box while browsing my local game store I would probably pick it up and check out the back to see if it was something I could get into. The whole box is certainly well done ... this is one cover I actually like.

So, if the cover is so good, then why are we featuring it in an episode of The Cover Critic? Simple, because no matter how good the artwork is, I still can't get over how ridiculous the whole situation is. Let me explain, the job of a temptress is to, well, tempt you to do something that will ultimately lead to bad things. It's a simple goal, really, all she needs to do is rub those perky breasts on your face and before you know it you're cheating on your wife and have a one-way ticket to Hell. But you would have to be pretty stupid to be tempted by a woman standing next to a throne holding what looks like a fireball. And even if you can get over the fact that her hair is standing on end (kind of like the Bride of Frankenstein) and she's holding a large ball of flame, you still be tipped off by the decapitated heads that are held up by large poles. And let's not forget that in the distance there's lightning hitting a creepy castle ... that's certainly not a good sign. And what about those naked demons that are tied up against their will? Certainly that's not a good sign. Actually, if you're the kind of guy who can still be tempted by a woman even with all these scary (and disgusting) things happening in the background then you deserve what you get. I think I'll just settle for that fat girl I sang karaoke with at the bar last week ... at least she's not going to chop my head off and put it on a large pole. Or will she?
