Topic: Activision Announces Science Papa

At least "party" and "smash" make a game sound fun. Can you name any fun games with "science" or "papa" in the title?

"Death, Jr.: The Science Fair of Doom" wasn't that bad of a game.

It does seem strange to attach the word "Papa" to this. Isn't there any non-gender-specific title they could have come up with? Although I suppose anything with the word "science" in it is going to sound boring...

That totally defeats the purpose.  The game is obviously designed to appeal to the crowd of people who purchase the Mama games (there was a news story last week that proclaimed the series has already sold 4 million copies in the USA).  Since Activision can't come up with a Mama game without getting sued, they did the next best thing.  Everyone who likes the Mama games will immediately be drawn to this game (in theory) because it's practically the same thing.

Dr. Wily Crap Clone is nowhere near as adorable as Mama.

Well that sounds pretty stupid, so it must be true.

Sadly, this seems true.

Mama-san has appeal.

FACT: Females are inherently more adorable than males.

[Stogi]

but is science adorable?

Admirable maybe.
