    2. Halo 2
    3. Half Life 2
    4. Counter Strike

    Ahh - this it the list of THEIR favourites. Not yours, or mine, but theirs... If you can convince them that they like Scrabble or Chess better than the games in the list, then maybe they'll update the list for you.

      I think one of the requirements was that the reviewers had to have had experience playing the game.

  16. Re:Something to be said for Counter-Strike by cyclomedia · · Score: 5, Funny

    not my cup of tea, for comparison half life's DMC (Death Match Classic) mod played along these lines

    1. spawn
    2. run towards nearest big gun
    3. kill people
    4. die hilariously
    5. repeat = fun

    and counter strike, (which admittedly i havent played much since one of the original beta's back in 99) goes something like this

    1. chose from vast array of guns in a menu and not being a firearms expert have no idea what's what or what's any good about them
    2. spawn
    3. try to find players on other team, half of whom are camping
    4. die from single bullet shot to toe
    5. wait 20 minutes for round to end
    6. finally repeat = suckage

    obviously the former falls into the arcade category and the latter into tactical, so whilst it's most certainly a question of taste i prefer my games to place their emphasis on fast furious fun

    Personally, I usually tend NOT to trust companies or people who ask me to just trust them. Me: Hum... Are you sure this wifi card comes with linux drivers? Retarded Store clerk: Of course! Trust me, it's my JOB, I know what I'm talking about... Me: Mind if I make you sign this declaration swearing that this card comes with linux drivers?

    What would be interesting though would be a top 5 games slashdot commenters play eg:-

    1) Trolling
    2) Providing a link to the ad free version of the article
    3) Saying something totally obvious but because you write more than a paragraph hoping it'll get modded as insightful
    4) Karma whoring
    5) Karma whoring other posts (eg mod parent up please!)
