Lego Rocket Raccoon looks a lot like a Fabuland minifig in that trailer. I would play the frak out of Lego Fabuland! Also HOWARD THE DUCK!

I was hoping this was a sequel to Simpsons Road Rage which is my all time favorite console Simpsons game. Instead it's an open world arcade motorcycle combat game.

Rockstar must be working on a better game engine for modern consoles or something. I didn't play this the first time around so maybe I’ll pick it up for the Switch.

The Sims 4 is back for modern consoles complete with puppies and kitties.

Not sure why but it feels weird to have a Bethesda game on Nintendo hardware...

Do you like zombies and J-pop? Me neither...

Umm didn’t this game come out in 2005? Can’t they come up with different names for Star Wars games? At least unlike the game this a is a sequel to (which is different than the one with the same name) this title has a single player campaign and won't’ charge for DLC as long as you are willing to give EA your email address.
