I absolutely hate writing bad reviews. I know that other people like some of the games that I don't enjoy. But, I have not been this unimpressed with a game in a really long time.  Affair Bureau is a horrible dark game with a bad storyline, and a bunch of swearing. I am glad my boys were too involved in their own games to see this one. My teenage daughter and I tried to get into the game and give it a chance, but were not able to. Affair Bureau left me so unispired that I dreaded the start of each level, and finally gave in and quit the game.
