The Week in PC Games: March 30-April 5
Filed under: Meta BD
We've seen a ton of new PC titles released in the past few weeks but this week we get a breather with just one major title heading to store shelves:
Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust: UK-based Team 17 tries to bring Al Lowe's classic adult-themed game creation to a new audiience. Originally to be published by Vivendi Games, it was one of the many titles that became free to find a new publisher thanks to the Activision Blizzard merger. Codemasters has taken on the challenge of releasing the game this week which has you playing the original Larry's nephew Larry Lovage as he helps his uncle in the movie business. Hollywood voice talent like Carmen Electra, Shannon Elizabeth, and Jay Mohr are a part of the production.
