Star Rating: 
★★★
Dust off your GED, boys and girls, because it's time to think your way through a thousand New York Times crossword puzzles. The great minds in this country can't figure out how to make a car fly or get beef jerky to make itself, but they can pack a thousand crossword puzzles into a tiny cartridge. No, this isn't exactly the future we signed up for either. The worst thing we can say about this game: The handwriting recognition sucks. Sure, we didn't win the penmanship award in junior high—some dick named Josh Steiner did—but why won't this motherfucking thing recognize an "a"? Forget about playing this cart while in transit. A bumpy bus or train ride, and a seven-letter word for "fun" registers as a big "FUCKYOU."
