"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."

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.
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
CasualGamerChick: "Most of us remember how cut throat high school can be, well now you can experience that all over again, wonderful, in Mean Girls. Players battle their way through high school by getting three or more matches. As you may have guessed, Mean Girls is a match three game based around high school and the hit movie of the same name.
Players have two choices, charm their enemies or humiliate them with their popularity and skill. Players can customize their character's skills to make each battle unique. As the battles play out, players can create a high school utopia or use their influences to sit at the "cool" table in the cafeteria. Decisions decisions."
haha serves here right...no way she should be on the cover of a kids game
Why is there a Mean girls game?......I wonder if it has action sequence sex scenes like God of War.
No one will buy the game anyway. So it doesn't really matter if she's present or not.
seriously!!!!??
Lindsay Lohan sux.
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...
