Can It

On the surface, DVD games like the ever-popular "SceneIt" puport to take the unadulterated fun of interactive bar trivia contests and transfer that dynamic into your living room.

Reality, however, is less entertaining. Since DVD players were designed to play movies, they don't provide the same sparkling game play as bars. There's lots of disk-whirring and menu-loading to slow down the action.

And there’s no waitress that knows every answer because she’s been there 50 hours so far this week and seen every question to help you out.
