What a load of shit this list is

They don't even mention the GBA release of "That's So Raven", without a doubt the lowest point in gaming last year.

Site's characteristically slow, and they intentionally spread out the article over three pages for the page views. Screw it, here's the text:

Nice attempt at justifying cheap-ass karma whoring, but unfortunately it didn't work because the site is neither slow nor annoying to read over several pages.

Therefore, you rightfully find yourself modded down. Enjoy...

19) Duke Nukem--A Decade in the Making
Just when everybody forgot the existence of Duke Nukem, 3D Realms announces that it signed Swedish firm Meqon to handle the physics engine for its vaporous sequel, Duke Nukem Forever. While 3D Realms has a reassuring "it's done when it's done" stance for the shooter, the numerous delays either signals a new Half-Life--or the new Daikatana.

Ah, come on! This isn't a low point at all. A game that has survived ten years of development without being officially canned is nothing short of amazing. Duke sets new standards for vapour. A true legend in the making, haha!

I'll third that motion. Definitely not worth the 60$ or so I spent on it.

If I wanted to be in dark room with monsters I'd just turn the lights out at a Bush war-time briefing. ba-dum-dum-ching!

Alongside SCO and Microsoft, geeks now have found a new giant to shake their digital fists at.

Now, don't get me wrong, they are all "evil" but I have not found a place other than slashdot where I hear people argue on how much SCO or EA "suck" but geeks are found everywhere (or almost). In conclusion, the author is then a member of slashdot, isnt' that right COWBOY!

I was halfway through your first paragraph, wondering what Rod Stewart had to do with gaming, when I realized my eyes are playing tricks on me. I misread "red star".

Bizarre.

The Ngage sucks, dont try to justify buying one

[Scrameustache]

I happen to think the N-Gage QD is quite a nifty device [...] Sega just realeased a MMOG for the N-Gage [...] they have shifted more to online advertising than offline ads

Such as paying people to hype their crap on slashdot?
