Five Things I Hate About Valentine's Day!!

Have you been watching the Olympics this week on NBC? Yeah, neither have I ... but that doesn't mean I'm immune to the controversy! Thankfully this game is. So no matter what country you're from you should feel no pressure from the French judge. Well, as an event the Olympics are pretty cool, but this box art is BORING!! It's a collection of the best of winter sport pictures thrown together with no rhyme nor reason. You know what bugs me the most about this box art is the subtle use of color. It's just boring enough to help me stop smoking.

Even if the game doesn't live up to expectation the cover art is worlds better than the last couple of Tony Hawk games. I question what that is picture is in the background, it looks like a school. Hmm ... maybe I shouldn't care, but the rest of the cover is so darn red. Can we do something about that red? Somebody???

The undisputed king of snowboarding box art is the SSX series. So when you go to make a snowboarding game remember to rip off each and every one of SSX's secrects! Don't copy this box, which has poor art, terrible looking expressions, and nothing to offer. No matter how good the game is, this box art is simply horrible.

When I first picked up Wreckless I thought it was a Robocop sequel!! But then I realized that the game resembles Destruction Derby more than anything else. This cover, though, is a tad misleading. Is it just me or does this look like Spy Hunter (PS2)? Hmm, maybe it is me.

Here we are finally to the end of this tragic episode of the Cover Critic. And what do you expect? Me to talk about Sonic Advance? I mean, it's colorful and filled with Sonic standards. But really, it's valentine's day, and if you're reading this it's probably because you don't have a date tonight. So, forget Sonic, I'll give it a good grade. What you need is a good nap. I know I do. Oh man do I need a good nap.
