You've probably already been inundated with news that Universal Studios opened a theme park last year in Osaka. If you have any interest in seeing that park, do not try to preview it with "Universal Studios Theme Park Adventure" (UA), a relatively new game for the Nintendo GameCube published by a company called Kemco.

UA is bad. It is so bad, in fact, that the publisher did not send me a copy of the game. For the record, UA is the only GameCube game that I had to find on my own.

To those who believe that you should not say anything at all if you do not have anything positive to say, let me encourage you to stop reading this column after the next paragraph.
