Rubi Malone is the sort of girl you'd see across a bar having a wild time, chugging whiskeys like Oliver Reed, singing, dancing, and looking great while she does it. You'll stroll on over all cool, ready to dish out one of the three chat-up lines you know; you'll close the gap, get close, take a deep breath, and then choke because she sleeps rough in a scrapyard, hasn't had a shower in a month, and stinks like a rickshaw boy's jockstrap. Sexy from afar and stinky in your hands - that's Wet, that is.
Verdict
Limited by design but successful on its own terms, Wet fails - but in a likeable way.
Uppers
* Cheap thrills
* Bee-yoo-tee-ful Rage mode
Downers
* So very, very cheap

There were a number of cult classics that didn't sell like gangbusters, but still worked their way into gamers' hearts. Here's WWG list of nine great titles that deserve a second chance on newer consoles
I'll point out that these games are all from the X360/PS3 era - they've already had HD releases when they first came out. Split/Second and Blur - with the crazy vehicle physics capable today, why would we not want sequels to them?
The other games, all a matter of opinion of course, but... thank you for your ads between every single game. /s
Problem with sequels is that they aren't very likely. Activision dropped Blur like a bad habit, and Disney isn't doing games anymore. So I'll happily take the originals.
As much as I'd kill for a Demon's Souls remake, isn't likely. We'll probably get Bloodborne 2 instead.
Dafuq kinda title is that? These games were already released on HD consoles though...
Is the largely forgotten, 2009 game Wet worth a second look? Miguel Penabella considers the game in relation to grindhouse films and the phenomenon of the "B-game".
