AdultSwim.com Gives You 5 (More) Minutes To Kill (Yourself)
Last year we mentioned a curious little game over at AdultSwim that had you running through an office, trying to off yourself in less than five minutes. Now the sequel, 5 Minutes to Kill (Yourself) 2: Family Reunion, asks you to do the same in a new setting.
After getting a call from his Mee-Ma, Stan rushes over to his family reunion, only to realize that he'd rather die painfully than spend five more minutes surrounded by his kin. As the clock starts ticking down you're challenged to find the quickest way to kill yourself, from eating garbage to poking a scuba tank with a hammer. The game world is quite a bit bigger than the last, with several distinct areas including a beach and a pavilion. You also get a fanny pack, which lets you carry several different items for later use. Missing from this installment are the dialog sequences you could use to enrage your coworkers, but instead you can trade items with other characters in exchange for better, deadlier ones, or just have them inflict grievous bodily harm directly upon you.
It's definitely a game that rewards multiple play-throughs, as you discover new and better ways of committing suicide. The basic idea of the game is still a lot of fun, and although on my first time through there was a bit too much eating and puking for my taste, I'm sure I'll find some more inventive solutions before too long.
