    Hilarious as usual Mr. Reparaz. *patiently waits for the Anti-Awards* ReCAPTCHA: Digress bread

    This feature is so hilarious, I was practically crying after Dr.Fizzwizzle's Animal Rescue and Russell Grant’s Astrology.

    just FWI there are around 21 (give or take one) nintendo games. Now if we apply common math we learned in kindergarden, (21 x 4) 84% of this years worst box art was caused by nintendo 3ird parties. On the bright side, great article Games radar!

    Ah yessss, this is why I will forever and always come back to GR. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Love the two deer pics. Thanks GR, for making the life of a half drunk college student that much more intresting.

    One of the best article's every single year, and this is no exception. Hilarious article. Kudos Mr. Reparaz.

    :O

    Wow these are always the best articles on the site. Going back over the 2008 one with the rampaging dick. That game was volcanic.

    I love these articles just made my day!

    Im more the confused about teaching e=mc^2 to 1 to 4 graders?

    Nice article! Mots of nose-pinching here to suppress laughter, I should be working right now. The box with the bunny is a mess indeed. I think its feet are the two red dots under the torso. No legs, no arms... that makes the character more of a Rayman ripoff, with Sonic's colours. The landscape reminds me of Monkey Ball, with Sonic's palm trees.

    " Why is the pig made of ice cream?" I laughed for minutes. Thank yo much for this Mr. Reparaz.

    MIA: Okami Wii for having the IGN logo on it. And here, I thought they had another perfectly good excuse for adding one more reference to Okami on GR.com

  • Cwf2008 - December 16, 2009 5:19 a.m.

    Sure this may have recycled ideas but that only made it funnier. When i saw that picture of the dolphin and the dong i couldnt stop laughing for a couple minutes

  • penguinsrule3 - December 16, 2009 4:36 a.m.

    Haha...DONG

    I would have swapped 1 and 2 but otherwise I haven't laughed this hard in months! I had to gag my mouth when I saw and read the caption for the horoscope one, so I didn't wake everybody up down the street!
