Leisure Suit Larry creator wasn't consulted on latest game, points out horrible reviews
Al Lowe, creator of Leisure Suit Larry, is just about as happy as a moist fish taco that he hasn't had to experience Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust. Lowe explains on his blog that he wasn't consulted at all about the latest title, which is funny considering the game's executive producer said they were trying to design a game that Lowe would like to play. Lowe also wasn't even sent a review copy -- in fairness, he points out that no advanced copies were sent to press either, "always an ominous sign."The current Metatcritic score is ... holy wow, a 28?! EuroGamer certainly wins the "best jab award" for writing the game is "less erotic than psoriasis." Lowe wasn't happy with Magna Cum Laude either. It's so sad to see how this once titular (don't care if it's the wrong usage, it's punny) sexual series has gone flaccid.[Via VG247]
Watch Carmen Electra and Jay Mohr 'act' in Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust
Codemasters, the recent proud owner and publisher of Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust, recently posted a couple of hard-hitting interviews with two members of the game's impressive voice cast: Carmen Electra and Jay Mohr. Electra, who voices porn actress-turned mainstream ingenue Ginger Vitus, speaks mostly on the importance of the use of innuendo when discussing boobies. Mohr focuses mohr more on his unconventional usage of sweatsocks. Will you find it particularly hilarious? Maybe. Did we specifically write this post so we could include the words "porn" and "boobies," thereby shamelessly boosting our traffic figures? Hell yes, son.[Via VG247]
Codemasters publishing Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust, coming in April
In the weeks following the fateful Activision Blizzard merger, a great deal of concern arose from the gaming community as a number of anticipated titles effectively lost their publisher. However, while most fretting was focused on Ghostbusters and Brütal Legend, the suddenly jeopardized low-brow antics of Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust went undiscussed, and largely uneulogized.Don't feel too guilty, you neglectful so-and-so -- Codemasters' casual games branch Funsta has apparently picked publishing rights for the title. According to the company's site, the adult content-rich adventure title is due out in April for the PC, PS3 and 360, and has been granted a totally shocking Mature rating by the ESRB. Ever the survivor, it seems the Leisure Suit Larry franchise will live to sleaze another day.[Via Big Download]
Leisure Suit Larry's Gears inspired debut trailer
Last month, Sierra Entertainment announced that Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust would be releasing to the Xbox 360 sometime in the Fall and since then, everyone has been on the edge of their seats waiting for a first glimpse of the game. And, this weekend, Sierra met Larry fans' demands by releasing an official Box Office Bust debut trailer. One that pulls a tiny smidgen of inspiration from a popular "Mad World" Gears of War trailer we all know and adore. We guess, if the formula worked before, why change it?Embedded above is the Lesuire Suit Larry trailer that's in question as we challenge you to try and spot the Gears references and nods. And really, it shouldn't be all that hard. Just be mindful of the shiny, bouncing, gold things at the end of the trailer. They will make you go blind.
Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust coming everywhere Fall '08
It's time to prepare for dirty puns and pleb humor as Sierra announces the return of Larry Laffer to the digital screen in Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust. Although Sierra finally made the announcement official today, Artie Lange already spilled the beans late last year that a new Larry was on the way.Box Office Bust will see Larry in "mission-based exploration, platforming, racing and puzzle-solving" and the script is penned by Happy Madison Productions' Allen Covert -- LSL series creator Al Lowe isn't mentioned anywhere. The game will be developed by Worms studio Team17 and is expected on Xbox 360, PS3, PC and mobile phones. Hopefully, a new game with fresh blood will get Larry standing at attention again after being flaccid for the last ten years.
Leisure Suit Larry heads to Hollywood this Fall
Today, Sierra Entertainment announced that a new Leisure Suit Larry game will be making its way to the Xbox 360 this Fall and it's packed full of scantily clad women comedic celebrities.Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust is described to be a third person experience where you, Larry, get into mischief and all kinds of danger while on the set of your Uncle's movie lot in Hollywood. Eh, who cares, it's Leisure Suit Larry, you know what to expect and we're sure it'll be nothing more. Though, we must point out that Sierra mentions that the voice "talents" of numerous comedians will be used in Box Office Bust including Jay Mohr, Dave Attell, Shannon Elizabeth, Carmen Electra and others. So, that should bring some excitement to the game. Right? Heck with it, we'll put down five bucks on a bet that Box Office Bust will also be a video game bust as well. Any takers?
