I won't lie: I was pretty pumped for the Terminator game until I read the review. Come on now...Gears of War with perhaps the world's greatest robots (number 2 next to Robocop. lol). Hell, I was thinking of renting the game just for the trophies that are ridiculously easy to get as well as rewarding as hell: every trophy is gold, idiotically simple to obtain, and I'll get my first Platinum in a couple days. Still, after reading the review (which is rather sad: the iPOD game actually blew the console versions out of the water in reviews) I'm not as ecstatic over watching the movie as I once was. One is the fact that it's PG-13 (Bleh!), and reading about a crappy tie-in just added to that mixture. This actually reminds me of a childhood memory: I was a huge fan of Ninja Turtles, Terminator, Power Rangers...well, just about any hyper violent, cheesy children's cartoon. Before I played videogames, I had to settle for imagination and a handful of badly assembled hunks of plastic that vaguely resembled their respective character. Heck, back in the day, Darth Vader was the new Black Ranger, Leonardo was the new Green Ranger, Spawn was just some dude that kicked ass in that synthetic universe, and Optimus Prime was the Megazord's secret lover, and bore children of Terminators that for some reason, were on a mission to kill the X-Men, which Professor X was replaced by a T-Rex ( I called him Professor Rex. :P ) Anyway, point of the story is, movie cash-ins are the new action figure craze, and just like said action figures, are cheaply assembled, not worth the price, and you'll feel like a doofus the moment you pop the disc in (or move the toy's arm, and watch your childhood dreams burn to ashes as you accidentally break the arm off). Which are two sides of the coin: Terminator made me develop a lower standard for the film, opposed to the Wolverine game, that makes me want to stop procrastinating and just see the movie already. Anyway, I'm back from vacation (and don't ask me about it...it was HORRIBLE. Let's just leave it at that) and I'll just say that during those four days, I actually wished I was at work. Honestly...I had the "hunchback, cellar dwelling mutant, embarassment to the family because he dropped out of college" treatment from people I haven't seen in ten years. I just want to go back to work and get the Hero's Treatment and make me feel better. Anyway, take care fellas.
