WorthPlaying writes: "We all have our guilty pleasures, and one of mine is the television show "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?," which tests contestants' knowledge of grade school test material. I love seeing how much the challengers (and by extension, myself) have forgotten since they were 10 years old, and the entire hour is usually a refresher course on things I once knew but have long since forgotten. Therefore, I was understandably excited to get my hands on the PC game based on the show, but it wasn't long before my dreams were crushed like that of most of the contestants. Not only is Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? Make the Grade boring and shallow, but its production values are so low that it's actually hard to look at after a while. This is one game that dropped out of school way too soon."
In this series of OG Reviews of the Week, we will spend our time not complementing games, but roasting games that may do some things right, but inevitably wind up pissing you off. Today's game is "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader" for the XBLA.
Xbox360Achievements.org has revealed the achievements for THQ's upcoming release, Are you Smarter 5th Grader:Game Time. There are 30 achievements for the usual 1000 points.
This coming Monday (January 12th), Amazon will be doing a video game themed day of Gold Box Deals. What games they are listing isn't announced, only these clues are given:
6:00 AM - Romp through the garden with your pets.
8:00 AM - A PS3 game that dreams are made of.
11:00 AM - This should hold you over on Xbox 360 until Final Fantasy XIII releases.
12:00 PM - A kid named Ben + Aliens + Wii = Bensational!
2:00 PM - Slimy and award-winning - what else would a PC owner want?
4:00 PM - An alternative to No Child Left Behind.
6:00 PM - Get bonus goodies with this radiant crescent.

Good guesses, but isn't World of Goo exclusively downloadable? I don't think they'd do a goldbox deal on a downloadable game. I could be wrong though.
