Just about the only thing funnier than bad box art are bad/ridiculous box quotes. Just as boombastic and stupid as bad art, dumb quotes can add that extra comedic panache to the grand gamer pass time of laughing at the past. Games Radar has an excellent list of the most ridiculous of all, from the sheer “awesomeness” of Gamepro’s Stranglehold quote: “the game is ripe with more awesomeness than Gears of War and Rainbow Six Vegas put together” to the utter stupidity of gamespy’s oh-so-articulate thoughts on Stuntman: “Stuntman ROCKS!”.
This applies to decidedly great games as well. Witness Rolling Stone’s take on GTA Double Pack: “It’s not just a new frontier for games, it’s a new frontier for humanity” no exaggerations there, buddy.
Oh, box quotes. Remember the days (way back) when the children of the world only had game boxes to go on? I don’t miss those days.
