The Problem with Licensed Games/Quotes

"Say it with me, The Cheat: Licensed videogames are never good."

—Strong Bad, 8-Bit Is Enough, a licensed video game itself.

"There is clearly no thought process going on behind this miserable mess. Just make a game based on a popular movie and shit it into the stores."

—The Angry Video Game Nerd, Wayne's World.

"Why did LJN have to make every NES movie adaptation? Couldn't they have given somebody else a try??! No! They wanted to incorporate the entire spectrum of awfulness:
Purple for putrid gameplay,
Blue for bad musical abominations,

Green for graphical farts and garlic,

Yellow for piss-poor lack of loyalty to source material,

Orange for "orange you a fuckin' idiot",

And red for high stress/anger-inducing masochism!

Put that all together, you got all the colors of the shit rainbow. Hooray, LJN."

—The Angry Video Game Nerd, Back to The Future revisited.

"So when we heard that a Ghostbusters game for Nintendo came out, we were so excited we shit our pants! ... It was two of our favorite things coming together. Should've been like bread and butter. But more like dead skunk and dog shit!"

—The Angry Video Game Nerd

"You know, I should have been more careful when I bought this game. I forgot the cardinal rule of movie tie-in games. It's that they always, always, suck. Especially when it's made twenty years after the fact!"

—The Spoony Experiment, on The Thing.
