The Secret of Monkey Island is finally here with Madballs Babo bringing up the rear with it's...mad...balls. Ahem. Meanwhile, Tour De France is sitting in the middle of the peloton wondering how an enduring bike race translates to a video game.
Funny story...last night my wife and I were playing 1 vs 100. One of the questions was, "Which one of these people has a bicycle video game named after them?" The possible answers were Dave Mirra, Tony Hawk, and Lance Armstrong. I correctly answered Dave Mirra and my wife said Lance Armstrong because that is the only name she knew tied to bicycles. I laughed and dismissively told her, "Nobody would ever make a game based on the Tour De France. It just wouldn't work as a video game."
Errr....
