Van Redd Reviews: Wet

Wet is an interesting game. It is not going to win Game of the Year on anyone's list. It is not going to revolutionize the industry. It is not going to be remembered years form now as a hallmark or watershed title that broke boundaries. What WET does, and does well, is put you into a pseudo sequel to Grind House. If you are the type to enjoy this is going to be determined by a number of factors.

Major Issue 1) The grainy filter over the screen may be a deal breaker for some. It never bothered me and I actually felt it added to the game. However I know some people may get disoriented by it and while you CAN turn it off...the game just loses something with out it.

Major Issue 2) You are going to be spending a LOT of time in slow motion....A LOT! In fact you may think your in The Matrix by the amount of slow mo in this game. If you jump and shoot...SLOW MO!...slide and shoot? SLOW MO! Go to the bathroom? SLOW MO!

The game gets kind of repetitive around the halfway point or so but it is a fairly fun time throughout. The story is mostly throw away but then again so it the kind of stories the narrative is based on so I'm not sure if it should count against it. The acting is ho-hum and uneven but gets the job done, again, not unlike the source material.



FINAL WORD: Give it a rent, buy if you like...IN SLOW MO! However, if you wanted a controller during Planet Terror...this game is for you.

The B-tier of video games which once housed low-budget on-disc titles for consoles is now largely disestablished or has arguably evolved into something else entirely with the explosion of independent games over the past several years. That’s what makes something like Wet such an oddity; it’s essentially a B-tier console-only title, but it was released as recently as 2009. In Wet you play Rubi Malone, a no-nonsense, tequila-swilling specialist in wetwork, a term used to refer to assas...

  The female orgasm and gaming have by and large been kept two separate entities for decades. While its easy for male gamers whom have never known a kiss beyond their mother to seek arousal from a blocky Playstation-era Lara Croft and her triangular cleavage, women tend to need a bit more. The onset of force-feedback controllers and in particular that Rez vibrator thingy have given grrl gamers too ashamed to buy a real sex toy something to get themselves hot and bothered with, and now we have th...
