Speed Dates is no feeble full-motion video game – it’s a bold art film, subtitles and all | Games

Published by Sam Flores

I spent Valentine’s Day not with my wife but with 18 Turkish women. No, wait, I can explain. It’s a new game called Speed Dates – Winter Edition, which I only chanced upon when I searched “Winter Games” on Xbox Live hoping for some Olympics fare. And boy, did I find it! The game is in Turkish, with English subtitles. It already feels arthouse; like those films Channel 4 used to show with a red triangle in the corner of the screen.

By simply pressing play, you now get subtitles that are synced and usable.
