...or not enough. Or other games there must be even worse, but that's hardly imaginable.

I was under the impression that "this game" referred to "Big Rigs".

If it referred to "Hitman", mea culpa. Great game.

That Bad Rigs game looks truly shocking. Still, giving bad marks to something that's a blatantly easy target is not difficult.

Yep, off-shore development saves money.

Another example on why saving money shouldn't be the end all objective on development projects.

Perhaps the game's very release was meant as a joke from the very beginning, it wouldn't be suprising....
