The all famous magazine called Maxim have also taken a look at Fbos and they seem to like it, because they gave it a 4 out of 5 stars:<blockquote>Imagine a world teeming with ghouls, mutants, rogue computers, and mercenary scum (i.e., your office) set in a near-future, post-nuke wasteland that would make Mad Max soil his leathers, and you’ve got yourself a premise for a delightful video game. Choose between mutant freak, obligatory hottie, or wizened badass, ignore the ordinary, top-down perspective, and navigate maze-like levels through nonstop action. Play consists mostly of stopping rival factions from their nefarious plans by blowing up giant rats and killer robots and collecting loot to upgrade your arsenal and armor. The deadly combination of shopping for new murder gear and completing missions of mass destruction make this game more addictive than caramel-coated OxyContin. </blockquote>You know what, stick to gals Maxim!

Well of course they'd like it. Excessive profanity, drugs, and g-strings. That has "Maxim" written all over it.
 
Didn't we already cover this review?

Or was that DaC? :look:

But yeah, this game is PERFECT for the target Maxim crowd.
 
Check out all of Maxim's reviews, Odin. The lowest score they ever give is 3/5 and that's utterly rare. Most games get 5/5 stars. They're really little more than an ad piece on there.

Shopping?

Is the projected demographic a corporate intern, CPA wannabee? The kid in the mail room? Or a frat boy who is destined to be a "" a corporate intern, CPA wannabee"" in his uncle's MEGA MERGER INC.?

Latent 60's conditioning whispers "class enemy" when I see marketing this overt, targeting the drug pacified "masses", but I really don't care for these hypothetical frat boys, the ones that write this flashy text filler and the ones on this "soil"ed sexual hook.

Sorry for sharing the bad taste in my mouth.

Shopping?

Thousands of years of survival in this earth environment and the mighty bi-pedal Hunter Gatherer has morph'ed through
the pre-industrial, industrial, and post partem industrial era's to emerge new born as the pinnacle of creation, THE MAXIM SHOPPER!

Since when has Maxim started reviewing games? No really, since when do they even care about this sort of stuff? Hell, if they want a really a world full of "ghouls, mutants, rogue computers, and mercenary scum" why not try Fallout 1+2?

Three words:

KWEL PARTIKUL IFFEX!!!!!

A game like FoPoS appeals to the general Maxim reader. Fallout 1 & 2 are going to be way over their head.
