  1. Sense of History? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You know, when I first read the /. headline, I thought... "Cool. Nice to see some sense of history in the gaming biz."

    But then I RTFA and came across this...

    Bungie's masterpiece Halo became the first video game to have its own star on the Walk of Game - a riff on the Walk of Fame stars in Hollywood.

    Give me a break. The number of games that are not only superior, but also of greater historical significance are too numerous to count.
    Sense of history, indeed.
