GameVortex: Mean Girls Review

GameVortex writes: "This is casual gaming with a very light RPG framework. It may swap heart blocks for red gems and high school girls for barbarian warriors, but it's still Puzzle Quest light. If you don't mind the blatant rip-off or if you are a die-hard Mean Girls fan, you may get a few hours of enjoyment out of this. Otherwise, it's no more compelling in story or gameplay, so there's no reason waste your time with this one".

Video Game Trends that are Killing Gaming Originality

Dana Abercrombie of DualShockers writes:

In 2013 alone, 525 video games were released across all platforms and this year it’s expected to be even more with the new Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles. It’s understandable that not all games can be the most interesting or innovative. Similarities are bound to happen. But what happens when originality starts to go completely out of the window and games just become one and the same? Unfortunately this trend is becoming more and more common as the years progress. I’m going to break down how five gaming trends that are completely destroying the beautiful gift of originality.

I agree with everything, except the crowd sourcing.

Gravity rush, Journey and Tearaway feel original to me!

Lindsay Lohan snubbed on Mean Girls DS cover

"Though the Mean Girls DS game still has Lindsay Lohan's character Cady Heron, said character is curiously missing from the game boxart.

"Her exclusion from the game cover may be an indication that Nintendo or 505 Games are not in love with her current image."

haha serves here right...no way she should be on the cover of a kids game

Noctis Aftermath5516d ago

With how she has been the last few years who could blame them for removing her off the cover.

C-R-E-A-M5515d ago

So...who gives a f***k.. y the hell is this even making the news

"Lindsay Lohan snubbed on Mean Girls DS cover"

Oh No!! What shall we EVER do?? :'(

Shang-Long5514d ago

haha oh well but If there was a ds game called party girls it would be lohan, paris and Richie ha

liquidsnake5514d ago

Not "party girls" Shang-Long, more like "stupid blonde bimbos hooked on drugs".

Mr Pumblechook5514d ago

Unless priorly agreed in the movie contract - if the publishers want Lindsay Lohan on the cover, they have to pay her.

Why is there a Mean girls game?......I wonder if it has action sequence sex scenes like God of War.

Erotic Sheep5514d ago

lol that would skyrocket the sales XD

BeaArthur5514d ago

I had the same question...not the sex scenes, the other one.

thereapersson5514d ago

And speaking of money, after you're done f*cking them (the hardest part of the game is actually getting them to sleep with you), they steal your money while you are asleep, and you automatically lose regardless of the path you chose during your playtime.

NateNater5515d ago

No one will buy the game anyway. So it doesn't really matter if she's present or not.

MaximusPaynicus5515d ago

Just like how nobody buys those pointless "Imagine" games, eh? I know it's hard to accept -- hell, I can barely comprehend it -- but this kind of crap sells.

MetalGearBear 5515d ago

seriously!!!!??

Lindsay Lohan sux.

tdrules5514d ago

Not that ive watched the film *cough* but the cover shows the Plastics.
Lindsay was never properly in the plastics.
Anyway il leave you all to criticise someone you know nothing about...

FragMnTagM5514d ago

So I do know a little about it *shudder.* Anyway Lindsay Lohan used to be hot and I respected her. Now she is just another Britney Spears. It is sad what Hollywood does to such beautiful women.

PS360PCROCKS5514d ago

I'll admit I watched it, more than once too. The chicks were fuc*ing hot, I was like 18 and horny, and saw the previews of them in the santa suits and knew I needed to see this movie. It was lame but I laughed at it

Variety: Pretty in Pink; Clueless; Mean Girls Review

Variety:
Mass-market casual games rarely make strides in innovation, relying instead on the appeal of the familiar. Paramount is doubling down on that trend by pairing tried-and-true game forms with popular films from different eras in its new three-pack of femme-friendly PC games developed with Legacy Interactive: "Pretty in Pink" represents the '80, "Clueless" the '90s, and millennial "Mean Girls" rounds out the trio. Result is derivative and pandering, but with just enough surprises to satisfy a target audience with low expectations
