It's not like I have cash to spare during this busy season, so maybe I should be thankful that Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? is heading up Xbox LIVE Arcade this week rather than something halfway decent.
One might argue that I don't fall under the target audience of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? and it appeals to someone entirely different. Ordinarily, I'd agree with that sentiment, but not when the title in question costs 1200 Microsoft Points.
At that price, the only people who will buy this game will ultimately never be able to finish it as they'll likely be dumber than a 5th grader.
It's not all bad news, though. Marble Blast Ultra will recieve a free multiplayer level complete with one new achievement on Wednesday as well.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Not that I would have bought this game for $5. I wouldn't download it for free. I was through with this game the first time I played the board game and it tried telling me that the Pythagerian Theorum related to equilateral triangles.
But freakin' 'Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader'? Wow.
And no offense, because I do own a Wii, but I could see this being slightly more popular on WiiWare, what with all the soccer moms and "I want to be cool too" dads.
But XBLA?
Can a game be de-listed even before it's released? Please?

I know. I saw a web-cam of him playing the game. :O)
