GAME REVIEW – Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People (Nintendo Wii)

By Stewie Sutherland 

Strong-Bad

Telltale Game’s first attempt at making a game for a console (alongside a PC version),  Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People did one of two things: if you were like me, you probably saw it and thought it looked bright and funny, maybe staring a wrestler with a Mexican accent and involving all kinds of shenanigans. For anyone who would spare a bit of time to check out Homestarrunner.com though, it was a dream come true. And so, while it may be a bit late, let’s take a look  back at The Brother Chaps’ and Telltale Games’ joint game “for cool and attractive people – but you can play too!”

I was delighted when he accepted my offer!
