We invite you to sit back, relax and marvel at that fact that hard work and actual money went into making games that let you the player- be a slave to a boy band, fight crime with dance as a pop-star, fall down a toilet and dodge fecal matter to stay alive, play a clown that beats up baby penguins and so much more.
