I have no idea what anyone sees in parley. It's a painfully bland and unfun minigame that has no business being anywhere near a AAA title. It's the sort of thing one would expect to find on one of those dreadful 1990s "1000 Great Games" CDs. I can only imagine one of the old team developers has a 7-year-old child learning how to program who created it and Dad put it in the game out of pride. I implore the current dev team: no matter how gifted you think your kid is, just stick their drawings on the fridge and leave it at that.
