Except Big Willy Unleashed isn't as mature or witty as that.

Can you imagine what Nintendo's head office looks like these days?

Which are made of polar bear pelt.

The scriptwriters have obviously never watched Jeremy Kyle or spent an evening down our local Wetherspoons, else they'd be more likely to characterise humanity as being "vastly cretinous" and "charged with GBH".

The first viewings of Dante's Inferno suggest the action adventure will be very similar to God of War.
