What’d you think?: The Crow is almost certainly best known for the on-set accident that killed its star, Brandon Lee. Somehow, the movie got a sequel two years later, and somehower, that movie got a video game adaptation, and lord is it ever awful. It makes frequent appearances on “worst games ever” lists, and deservedly so. Better writers than I have talked about this game, so seek out their work, watch my blessedly brief attempt at playing it, or just seek it out and experience it for yourself.
