Perhaps it's time to switch from the Bible to another thing people take entirely too seriously, Golf. Over the past 60 episodes of The Cover Critic I have had incredible restraint when it comes to bitching about all of the golf games. It's not like I haven't had the opportunity, let's not forget such gems as Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf or Ninja Golf. I could probably do an entire episode of The Cover Critic based entirely on silly (read: stupid) golf games. But I've held back, every time I wanted to lay into some uptight golf simulator I have stopped myself. People take their golf very seriously; people even jokingly consider it a religion. So now that we've alienated all of our religious readers I figured it's about time to piss off the golfer, too. FORE!

So get this, I actually like the Links series. To be fair, I've never actually played this Sega CD version of Links, but if it's anything like the PC versions then I have no doubt that it's a solid sports game with a lot of courses and great graphics. But what's with this cover? I look at Links: The Challenge of Golf and I wonder if I had too much to drink. I can't even see the ball; it's all blurry and multicolored. The Challenge of Golf indeed, I can only imagine how much more difficult this already frustrating sport is when you're plastered. Even the sky is changing colors ... that can't be a good sign. At least the grass doesn't have French fries growing out of it. Oh, after looking at this box art I think I'm going to be sick. Maybe it's time to wrap this up so that I can run to the bathroom before I make a mess all over my keyboard.
