The Arcade Is Dead, Long Live the Cyber Cafe
I spent the past two weeks in what should have been the glorious sunshine of the Bahamas, but crap weather seemed to follow our cruise ship around.On the bright side we learned that a motorboat riding 8-foot waves makes my son vomit... repeatedly.
I brought both the Playstation Portable and DS Lite with me on the trip along with a ton of games, for all of that down time when my son is napping. But I ended up spending most of my time playing New Super Mario Bros. and replaying it. I still haven't gotten to a couple of worlds. Dammit.
I also spent a little time playing arcade games. How depressing is that.
.Our list of worst film sequels ever
Life is a series of firsts -- first love, first job, first car, first therapist, first eating disorder, first sex-manual photos shot strictly for instructional purposes.But the second? The third? The fourth? In terms of films, although not coffee-table sex guides, it becomes harder and harder to recapture the elusive X factor that made the original so very special. And by the fifth-go-round, you've got a straight-to-DVD starring Kari Wuhrer.
Not that Hollywood stops trying. And to be fair to the lovely Ms. Wuhrer, whose aforementioned sequel work was in Hellraiser: Deader, it's not like the original left you wanting more.
The same could be said, I suppose, of today's theatrical releases of the third The Fast and the Furious instalment (sans Vin Diesel or Paul Walker) and the second Garfield flick (again starring the voice of Bill Murray).
