I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Futurama: Bender's Game gets released today.

When Cubert Farnsworth, Dwight Slim, and their friends embarked on a new D&D campaign with a 12-sided die made from a mysterious substance, they had no idea what kind of trouble was in store in Futurama: Bender’s Game, the third in a series of four Futurama movies released direct to DVD.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I watched it over the weekend & was disappointed. It just wasn't very funny.

I liked Bender's Big Score, but was underwhelmed by Beast With a Billion Backs.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I was underwhelmed by Beast with a Billion Backs so maybe I should give Benders Big Score a try.

IOGamingNews - I finished Little Big Planet's 'Story Mode' which is effectively the single player option, though you can involve others.

Anyway, after the first 5 levels which are easy, the difficulty starts to climb. There's a couple of real stinkers about 60% of the way through and some absolute bastards towards the end.

Great fun, possibly a little tough in places and definitely too tough for the casual gamer that this game is constantly being marketed to.

I'd like to build a level, but that's a big time investment. Still, I have to try it once, just not right now.

I had my best game ever in Munchkin last night and I still managed to lose.

I've gotten a couple of levels into LBP and am really enjoying it.

ND, I hope you can find the time to dip into a few levels with me. So many puzzles require 2 players. Gaaah!

Yes, there are a bunch of areas that need the two player option. LBP has some kind of issue with my network setup that I need to look into, the game says check the website, but there is no information about it on the website. Sigh.

There are a few areas that need 4 players too. So cruel.
