In 2010, my friends and I hunkered down in the basement and basically played one game all summer:Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game. Inspired byBryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novel series, and coming out the same year asEdgar Wright’s feverish adaptation of the material, the video game took all the retro pleasures of side-scrolling beat-em-ups and streamlined them into a wholly refreshing, modern experience. Addictive, accessible, surprisingly complex, full of wonderful aesthetics and incredibleAnamanaguchitunes, the game straight up ruled… and then it was discontinued off digital stores some four years later. Now, after years of fan outcry andcryptic tweets from Wright,Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Gameis back. And I need a basement to hang out in all summer again.
