New Review Posted: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Tera Kirk reviews Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and asks a fairly important marketing question:

"Do videogames based on movies really need to hit shelves the day their films open? "Of course!" answer marketing teams everywhere. What better time for games like Van Helsing or Fantastic 4 to shake their moneymakers than when their companion films are still big news, burning brightly in people's minds? While this practice makes good money for game companies, it doesn't make good games. High Voltage's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory isn't meant for old fogeys like me; it's designed for children, which makes its technical flaws all the more disgusting."

The rest of the review is available here.
