Darkened Skye is probably the best marketing tie-in game I've ever seen. I mean, from the box cover, it's pretty difficult to tell that it even is a marketing tie-in. Darkened Skye is a game about Skittles, see. Yeah, the little fruit-flavored candy, "Taste the Rainbow," that stuff. If you can get past the fact that you're using Skittles to cast magic spells, though, it's actually not that bad a game. I mean, it's not that good a game, either, but it's not that bad. For one thing, the main character, Skye, is a sarcastic, witty little thing with great voice acting supplied by someone whose name I can't be bothered to look up right now. Really good, though. Plus there's...um...well...okay, that's really the only good thing about the game. The rest is pretty mediocre third-person action-adventure fare. But with Skittles. I'm waiting for the sequel, featuring Tropical Skittles. With the bad guys using Sour Skittles, or something.

But what do I know, anyway?
