In the videogame, players assume the role of the rambunctious young Max and can explore the island of the Wild Things, journey across its dangerous terrain, overcome hazardous obstacles and battle fierce creatures. After landing his boat on the mysterious island of the Wild Things – Max quickly befriends the fearsome but loveable creatures and becomes "King of All Wild Things." He soon learns that the island is on the brink of destruction and that it's up to him and the Wild Things to work together to find a way to escape to safety before its too late.

I knew nothing of the books until I looked it up after seeing the movie trailer during Half-Blood Prince. Sounds pretty terrible.

Let's see... video game based on a movie based on a children's book that I enjoyed whilst in kindergarten but have rarely even thought about since?

Pass.

Copy-pasting a press release? Really, sir. Are you asking to get pummeled?

*Brodie* · 07-20-2009, 07:42 PM

Why pummeled?

Its not like hes constantly making ****ing threads of pasted news (or "news), ala Raph's Girl.

The guy probably thought it was ridiculous, and posted it.

Yeah, probably a tad harsh. I just get annoyed with people that copy-paste press releases since all the newly hired over at Kombo used to do that even though we explicitly told them not to.
