Sometimes the word “stop” evades the ears of certain people. The people I’m talking about are those who seek to capitalize on a successful franchise by releasing a half-assed sequel.
While these people are no murderers or rapists, I still feel like smacking them in the face for selling out some classics. At least then I can pay back some of the pain those developers have forced me to endure.
Anyways, here’s an ode to gaming sequels that should be shot, sterilized, and blasted into space so we may never see them again… God help any aliens that get their hands on these games. (Okay that was an exaggeration: These sequels aren’t necessarily bad, just disappointing — with exception of the first game on the list.)
For some reason, every time I need a piece of creative genius for Video of the Day lately, something super-schmoopy presents itself and demands to be shared. Enter: the Mario Kart Love Song. With a surprisingly catchy and soothing melody, lyrics both touching and nerdgasmic, and a singer/songwriter wearing a yarn Waluigi ’stache taped to his face, you have no reason to not hit play. And again. Let’s go again.
Sick of playing Rock Band or Guitar Hero every time you throw (or go to) a party? A lot of people are. Even though Rock Band 2 and just came out, and Guitar Hero: World Tour is almost here, sometimes you just need a break from that type of game. And there are still plenty of other games that would make a good party great.
