Worst Gaming Decisions Of 2003 Rated

Thanks to GameSpot for their feature rating some of 2003's videogames that deserve negative awards. Some of the 'winners' among this motley crew of letdowns include most pretentious game awarded to Namco's Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht ("a game that takes itself far too seriously"), most disappointing title to Capcom's Devil May Cry 2 ("a complete letdown in the face of the first game's genius"), and flat-out worst game to Activision Value's Gods And Generals ("looks and sounds absolutely horrendous.")

yeah. right...

Please... That's ridiculous.

People wanted "Mature" games, just like people want "Mature" movies, magazines, books, etc.

If you don't like it, that's fine, but please don't shove your morals down others' throats.

The article is only five crap games, nothing really worthy of a /. thread.

Look on the right side of the page, and there are links to the rest of the article:

* Most Embarrassing Game
* Most Despicable Product Placement in a Game
* Worst Use of Celebrity Voice Acting
* Most Disappointing Delay
* Most Pretentious Game
* Most Disappointing Game
* Flat-Out Worst Game
* Best Game No One Played

They don't exactly stick out, though. I thought the article was pretty short until I noticed them.

But, but, but, mildly sexual titillation featuring completely virtual women is EXPLOITATION!!!

(...stupid Gamespot...)

And yes, Itagaki (head of Team Ninja) did say something like that in an interview. (scroll down about halfway, or just search the page for 'female')

And for what it is worth, my GF loves the game...
