Still, it'd be way cool to be able to road-trip to Europe! You can already get there if you use Google Maps, just start from Boston, MA and go to Paris, France and you'll have your answer.
Might take a while to get there, so plan ahead...
My experience is more with the Final Fantasy RPG's more than anything, and I don't really experience that much walls with FF. But without any form of challenge then what's the point of a game?
What I find funny though is that there are "mini-bosses" that are harder to beat than the final boss themselves. For example: Emerald Weapon for FF7 (a LOT harder than Sephiroth) Sephiroth for Kingdom Hearts I & II
Now those are only a couple from Squaresoft games, but it does kind of make you wonder. If mini-bosses are supposed to be tougher than the final bosses, why aren't they the final bosses?

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy MMO's just as much as anyone. But the article mentioned up front that they weren't included, which is fine, because they deserve an article all to themselves. Not too mention that there are hundreds of Multiplayer games that could have been included on the pathetic list that they brought out.
Then there were: Master of Orion II Diablo I & II Starcraft Warcraft II & III (Didn't do much multiplayer with Original)
But there are so many games out there that you can't really squeeze the selection down to just 10 games, I mean, come on.
You spoke, and we listened. Because of the wide variety of answers we received, tabulating a top list of award winners was impossible." - Gamasutra Maybe they should post a list of the games that they received before they get flamed more.

I would love to see the headline for that one... "Non-existant Satellite kills homeowner" (if/when the satellite loses orbit)
