SLACKERJACK - The Handy Man
January 31st, 2007 at 12:30 by Stuart Heritage
Handy Men are the bane of our pissing life - £30 to change one tiny bit of broken plastic on a shower? How dare you! - but on the plus side no handy man of ours has ever sat outside our house behind a car blasting us with machine gun fire every time we walk past a window. Not that we know of, anyway.
In today's Slackerjack, however, that's exactly what you do. The Handy Man sees you taking on the role of a Mafia handy man who - instead of putting up shelves and fixing curtain rails - kills scores of baddies with three different types of gun. The Handy Man couldn't be simpler to understand - it's more or less like a Shoot The Duck game at a funfair, only you're shooting stereotypical Italian-American gangsters instead of quacking birds. And you have a machinegun instead of something that pushes a cork through the air at 0.5mph. The Handy Man is a diverting enough way to spend a few minutes, unless murdering 60 people in one go is your thing, in which case you should sit tight and play The Handy Man while we call the police.
