Hot Brain

All right, it's official: We're fucking sick to death of video games that purport to make us smarter. Seriously, if we wanted to be smarter, Midway, we wouldn't be playing games. Or riding dune buggies without our helmets. Or fixing food in that one nonstick pan that seems to be losing its coating. (We don't even bother to pick the nonstick flakes off our burgers anymore. Next stop: Alzheimer's-ville. All aboard!) In fact, if we wanted something to tell us how stupid we are, we'd just ask our wives/girlfriends for free, instead of spending $30 on this UMD. Logic, memory, math, and concentration are all put to the test here. We're giving the game a bonus Fred Willard Point, since Fred is on hand to lend some levity to the proceedings. But in general, all this brainiac bullshit leaves us feeling cold. And dumb. Very dumb.
