    Normally I am a big proponent of game preservation efforts, but I sincerely wish Amy wasn't still for sale on the Xbox marketplace so I could have avoided playing it. That sentence could use another draft or two but its not gonna get one cuz this game doesn't deserve it.

    I vaguely recall this game getting hyped up before its release and everyone saying "oh man its gonna be so awesome, you get to explore this relationship and stuff". I think Yahtzee described it as "the worst part of any game extended to a whole game" or something like that. The Last of Us then released and promptly wiped any memory of this game from history.

The only hype I really recall for it was seeing an interview about it on G4 I think. The network was on the way out at the time if I recall correct so they were basically trying to just get anything and everything about gaming on there.

    The developers of this game closed up the studio after releasing this masterpiece. This game was so malevolent and unholy that destroyed the very studio that created it.

    Post more of your whole streams. Even if you lock them behind a membership I'll pay. I work when you stream but would love to paint to your streams as background content.
    Do you archive them on twitch? I need more Oboe

      this game is especially egregious with the screen tearing even by 360/ps3 standards
