Marissa writes: Tecmo's Family Fun Football is the latest of the publisher's attempts to rekindle the magic of the Tecmo Bowl series. As to whether they succeeded or failed, I offer this bon mot: this weekend I had to take one of my dogs to the vet to have his anal glands expressed. I have to seriously think about whether I had a better time doing that or playing this game. On the one hand, the game has nothing to do with anal glands. On the other, the waiting room did have some decent magazines.
Family Fun Football was clearly an effort to jumpstart Tecmo's legacy and bring it to a new generation of gamers. It is a mixture of some elements of Tecmo Bowl – the predecessor to Tecmo Super Bowl – some elements of Madden, and some elements not borrowed from either of those games.
Overall Family Fun Football is great fun for the whole family. However, if you are expecting another Tecmo bowl from this title you will be disappointed. This game is best played with friends and family, playing this title alone is not nearly as fun as the multiplayer.
This week Cat makes up for lost time with coverage of two GTA games, Tekken 6, DJ Hero, Borderlands and a ton of other games as fall rush continues to dominate.
