The Insane Clown Posse meets Eidos Interactive. Could life get any rougher than this? Read Review
Don't Try This At Home is a hardcore weapons-based grappling title that features seven different environments, more than 20 personalities from Backyard Wrestling and Juggalo Championship Wrestling, and several gaming modes. Punish your opponent in highly interactive sprawling environments implementing instruments of pain like thumbtacks, barbed wire, light bulbs, stop signs, baseball bats, tables, fire, as well as the environment itself. Prepare yourself to endure inhuman amounts of pain, and take incredible risks, as you leap from breathtaking heights to beat your opponent, and be crowned "The King Of Hardcore".

Sure, this all sounds better than a pig roast, but is it just another way to sell trash to teens? Since Eidos dropped a build of Backyard Wrestling into my previously clean lap, this is the tell-all expose. Read it here before I take it to Jerry Springer. Read More »
