Friday Fives – Xtreme Edition

Posted in Friday Fives

Many games claim to be extreme (or Xtreme – in rare cases, maybe even XTREME 2 THE MAX) but how many can actually back it up?

We weed out the gnarly from the bodacious in this Xtreme edition of Friday Fives.

Each game gets a rating based on how extreme Keanu thinks they are.

5. Toy Golf Extreme

Extreme Rating 0/5 whoas

On the one hand, unlike say, extreme sudoku, it’s an actual sport (albeit in the loosest possible sense), thus making it eligible for Xtremeification; on the other, it has the word Toy in the title: not very extreme (not to mention, Golf).

This game could have been extreme, perhaps with the inclusion of barbed wire, electric fences and landmines to navigate your ball through. Instead, they opted for pens and tipped over teacups.

4. Extreme Hangman

Extreme Rating: 1/5 whoas

While my mind was conjuring up images of illegal underground gatherings where Hangman is played with a real noose and high stakes, Extreme Hangman appears to be regular Hangman, but with animated stick figures.

Having said that, the ESRB content rating does warn of alcohol reference, mild cartoon violence and animated blood, which seems pretty extreme for a game played on a chalk board.

3. Bible Trivia Extreme

Extreme Rating: 2.5/5 whoas

Featuring some of the toughest Bible questions ever posed, this game is certainly more challenging than regular old Bible Trivia.

However, compared to other Bible trivia games available, there is a distinct lack of extremeness. Not enough hellfire, brimstone or other extreme things. John Constantine disapproves.

I disapprove

2. Lego Island Xtreme Stunts

Extreme Rating: 3.5/5

Finally, a game that has the balls to opt for the X spelling, thus immediately granting it a minimum score of 3/5 whoas. It also has Stunts in the title, which is what stuntmen do, the most extreme profession in Hollywood, another 0.5 to the score.

After that it’s all downhill. Legos are the least extreme toy ever invented, sitting right at the bottom of the ladder, just below Barbie, who at least has an extremely small waist (and extremely large…)

1. Shimano Xtreme Fishing

Extreme Rating: 5/5 whoas

You may be thinking that fishing can’t be all that extreme (or Xtreme, +3 whoas). Well you’d be wrong.

The only game on this list to feature weapons, check out the box art: that’s one scary looking fish, its about to swallow that dude on the left who came ill prepared with nothing but a rod and is now reeling back (har har) in sheer terror.

Meanwhile, the guy in the middle is shooting an arrow right into the face of some unseen piranha, and far right guy is fishing for sharks with a harpoon!

Double eyebrow whoa!

    I really like a decent game of sudoku. The more you play the faster you get and also it provides the brain a good workout as well! I recently attempted an evil sudoku puzzle but I am completely stuck with it, some people state sudoku is just a simple numbers game but there is a lot more to it specially when you play the much harder puzzles.

    For sure that is a trying matter deal with,really should it actually seem to be of use in the foreseeable future Most likely this can be a lesson learned. Never ever that has it occured along with such excellent publicity of a wide range of the effects,the actual fishing may well change but it’s certainly not all-around an individual man or women because our mother earth is at complete control.

    Sportfishing is without a doubt my best favourite outdoor activity,there has to be a lot of different places to snatch a number of bass within this area also consider using this type of strategy, the people I know in this community never have pointed out this process thing therefore im trying to find an easier way to get even more. The kinds of fish in most of these streams all around here manage to nibble a clean hook occasionally nevertheless its not necessarily the fish i’m attempting to get. Many thanks with the information and even will be looking forward to the following post…

    You might want a variety of fishing equipment for different angling situations. The most important valid reason just for this is always that it will help a person catch even more fish. In case the completely wrong fishing rod is being used, hits might be even more difficult to identify, and therefore not as much fish is going to be hooked

    Eh? No DOA: Extreme Beach Volleyball game is not on your list ah.

    If Bible Trivia Extreme wishes to accentuate its extreme-ness, it needs to put in more questions from the Book of Revelations. Apocalypse of John FTW!
