When you are attracted to the idea of creating some verses, do not sit there with the pen in your hand trying to force yourself to create poetry.

It is because you do not have direction, and if you think you do, than it is something too t...

Sticking with our theme of XBLA games with uninspiring names, we have Outland. This game shares its name with an unrelated sci-fi cult film from 1981, unrelated comic strip from the '90s, and unrelated region in World of Warcraft.
