This was hilarious. Also, I'd totally fork over cash for "Revenge of the Blood Resistance". You can't go wrong with such an awesome title.

Humans DO rule. Save for Charizards, those things will burn your f**king face off... Like that Nazi guy in Raiders of the Lost Ark...

Love the pickachu thing. Also like the title "A wealth of weaker life forms to enslave" followed by a picture of pokemon

Darkest of Days is basically the 'million selling shooter': it has all the parts, but no one on the team thought about how those parts function together.

Revenge of the Blood Resistance X Edition has probably the greatest box art ever made, and I love the bottom caption.
