I downloaded the Paperboy demo on XBOX Live Arcade tonight. I remember hating the game when I was younger, but tonight I thought to myself “it couldn’t have been that bad.” Wow, I was so right to hate that game back then. Aside from the cheesy computer voices in it, the game is terrible, even for an old school game like that. It’s just bad. The controls suck, the idea is stupid and it all adds up to one craptastic game. I even remember hating the controls back then.

I also downloaded the Root Beer Tapper demo… Now there’s a game! I like it enough to entertain me those couple minutes between getting off XBOX Live and before I turn off the system, but not enough to buy it. The game is mildly amusing however and infinitely better than that crappy Paperboy game.
