Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust BOB Game to be Released in 2008

Yep, they're at it again..... it's another Leisure Suit Larry game set to be released in late 2008. It will be called Box Office Bust (BOB) and the story will be set around Hollywood. This game will be available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and mobile phones.

For Al Lowe's comments on this, visit his website here. There are also links there to some other sites that are covering this story.

I did play Magna Cum Laude just to see what all the hype was about. One day I happened to see it at a local thrift store for $3.00 so I bought it. No way was I gonna pay full price for that game. I did not want to support this game, and encourage more lucrative sales, when I knew Al Lowe wasn't involved in his creation.

I found Magna Cum Laude to be uneventful, boring, predictable, and downright childish. Instead of good humor and puzzles, I was stuck with the mashing of buttons x, x, o, o, x, x........

This is my blog, my soapbox. The way I see it, you let Al Lowe back in the picture and Leisure Suit Larry will be a better game. If you let inexperienced game designers and corporate suits handle this series, they will drive it into the ground until there is nothing left - no sales, no fanbase, and unfortunately, you'll end up ruining the image of Leisure Suit Larry and the respect that the series has earned over the years. I can honestly say that without Al Lowe, this series is really going into the toilet.

Video Game Review: The Sopranos - Road to Respect

I just finished The Sopranos - Road to Respect in a record 2 days. I played a total of 2 evenings and even wasted some time playing poker with the boys. I figured between the adult content (rated M for Mature), nudity, and constant F-word, this game would bring about an adult challenge but man was I wrong. It's just an immature poke at gaming so 16-year-old boys can point at private parts and laugh, say the foul lines, and think it's funny, and horrify their parents.

Going in to the last level or so I had over $70,000.00 but I was looking to buy some weapons or something. Instead, you could buy video clips of the TV series that get unlocked. I never bought any video clips and in the end when you beat the game the video clips unlock automatically. I still haven't a clue as to why I spent the time to earn money in the game.

There really is no skill involved with this game. It's mostly the mashing of buttons and there's no real puzzles to solve. I was really let down in the end when Joey becomes a made man. For a minute, I was excited because I thought I could finally spend the money I earned and go on to fight better bad guys, get bigger weapons, and solve some harder puzzles.

The Way I See It - The Sopranos - Road to Respect, is really just the Road to Retarded. If you want a better game, try The Godfather.
