What do you think? I actually haven't played most of them, but I was just surprised to see something other than Doom on top, lol.

I was 7, lol. I obviously don't really remember any hoo-ha when Doom came out either, but it's still mentioned a lot, which I guess is what surprised me that it was only #3 on the list.

If so, there's the reason for your controversy... this is America, where it's OK to show violence, explosions, beheadings... but you show 2 guys making out, and the apocalypse is coming!

Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on September 19, 2007, 12:32:49 PM: the problem with SimCopter was it was supposed to have a like 1/10,000 chance of happening but he messed up the random number generator so there was like a 1/3 chance of your simcopter session ending in LA GAY PARADE. oops.

no thrillkill? tsk tsk

Post by: Robo on September 19, 2007, 03:24:19 PM: uh, what was "controversial" about Resistance? Or BioShock? The little sister harvesting could have been an issue, but I don't recall anyone getting up-in-arms about it. Even the Manhunt 2 issue is pretty tame.

Where the fuck is Conker?

They didn't like how you had to fend off alien-like creatures intent of enslaving humanity inside the actual church building...
