Video games these days just aren’t as violent as they used to be. Sure there’s more shooting, burning, blowing things up and prostitute raping, but we just don’t think that sort of thing matches up to Frogger. Seriously – remember how he used to get squished? Halo’s got nothing on getting squished.
Thank goodness then for Skull Kid – It’s a simple game with an opening ‘hint’ that goes something like this:
“Get right up against things before chainsawing them, and keep at it until you cut all the way through.”
Games with those kinds of instructions are never bad. In level one you just walk through an office cutting things in half – things like couches, water coolers, coworkers and what we think is your boss. On level two though – they start fighting back.
So you know, watch out on level two.
