Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust

Heard anything about this?  It's coming out this week. 

I didn't even know that this series was still alive.

It probably shouldn't be. And I actually (kinda, sorta) liked Magna Cum Laude, but it has nothing to with LSL. The lack of hype and the budget price on this title leads me to expect even less from this new entry.

Magna Cum Laude has some of the funniest writing I've ever seen in a game, bar none. I should see if any of the dialogue sequences are up on YouTube.

Shame about the gameplay, but the game got shat on unfairly. It's a 6-7.5 game and it got a bunch of 2s and 3s.

Consolevania gives a funny and fair review to Magna Cum Laude. Doesn't look like you can embed it cause it's

LSLMCL also has

the only video I could find is in Spanish but I bet you can understand it

I dunno, I think the game is a funnier adult-oriented game than fucking Grand Theft Auto, for example. I wish I could find some videos of the nerdy girl.

Magna Cum Laude was pretty good, I got half way through it and had a few laughs.

Only heard about the new game last week, no idea if I'll get it yet.

Team 17 did this, so I anticipate it being at least sorta funny, and I do like the price.
graphics are ugly as sin tho.

Good to hear the Magna Cum Laude praise, I want to play it just for Artie Lange.

Thanks for posting that review video, Patel.  That probably got me laughing harder than any Larry moment.  The guy has the most hilarious accent.  It's like he's speaking some other language. 

Btw, I don't think Artie is dead.  He's probably famous enough to warrant a Google news headline if he's dead.

Man, I've been wanting to play Magna Cum Laude fer-evar, but don't want to play the bowdlerized version on console, opting for the full-on CG tittery of the AO-rated version. Patel's lavish praise and links are destroying my resolve to resist.

$20 already

Was launching at 20 quid in the UK to start with. Not sure what the US price was though.

Also the Eurogamer review is awesome.

Meh, just pirate it. I don't think they even sell it new anymore anyway, and if you could find it, it would probably just be the M-rated version (although there's a patch for it that removes the nudity bars).
