While this one looks pretty hilarious, we're always a little wary of games that require work (see also: Animal Crossing and more), but when that game is centered around working, we're doubly uncertain. Maybe we shouldn't be translating everything into a waggling mini-game simply because we can. Then again, Hard Working People really does look like Everything Mama, and thus could be promising. The jury, as they say, is still out. Out working.

This could very well go down as the worst video game idea in history. I mean, seriously, for fuck's sake! I bet Ubisoft is kicking themselves that they didn't think of this in their shovelware board-meetings.
Yeah, there really is nothing like coming home from a hard days' school/work and relaxing with a nice bit of hard work....
PS. I notice in that screenshot all the "games" have 1 out of 3 stars. Well, at least they're honest about the quality.

I'm displeased that "Everything Mama" isn't one of the choices on their poll. I voted for "Hard Working People".

How about "Not Immigrants" since it's essentially what the phrase means when it's used in the papers?
