    For those who believe that the best game this year was that badly named expansion pack that they have the nerve to call Halo 2,

    It was obviously the $40m tech demo called Half Life 2

      D3 is a flashlight simulator, while HL2 is a full tech demo.

      Halo 2 is a "retro remake" of the first Halo :)

    Okay, I've come up with a solution to all of the hurdles this horrid article is making you jump. Step 1: Close your browser. Step 2: Shut off your computer if the temptation is too great. Step 3: Find something better to do.

    I didn't see any ads either. Well, except for that "500 Internal" company. For some reason, a lot of the sites Slashdot links to have their ads. :P

    No - they do it to increase ad views. Trust me - I know this to be a fact.

    For all those who think that the best games
    that came out this year were all sequels Game
    Tunnel presents a different angle on things
    with their 2004 Independent Game of the Year
    awards. For those who believe that the best
    game this year was that badly named expansion
    pack that they have the nerve to call Halo 2,
    check out the awards for a different side of
    gaming than you are used to.

    Please visit my site, it is only 8 pages full of pictures and I think I can survive a slashdotting.

    Um, yeah. My 15 year old daughter is using the word "meh" now, so I think it's nearing the end of it's usefulness. Also, you need to address that nasty cold you have - you're actually coughing in text.

    And my stance is I refuse to get opinions or advice on what is appropriate behaviour from anyone named "Pussyjuice". Or who uses the expression "is The Suck", for that matter.

    You, sir, need to get out of the basement.
