I just saw this list of GAF:

The A.V. Club's 15 Best Games of the 00's

15. SSX 3 (EA Sports BIG, 2003)
14. The Sims (Electronic Arts, 2000)
13. Ninja Gaiden (Tecmo, 2004)
12. Braid (Microsoft Game Studios, 2008)
11. Advance Wars (Nintendo, 2001)
10. Left 4 Dead (Valve, 2008)
9. Final Fantasy XII (Square Enix, 2006)
8. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (Rockstar Games, 2002)
7. Ico (Sony, 2001)
6. World Of Warcraft (Blizzard Entertainment, 2004)
5. Portal (Valve, 2007)
4. Rock Band (MTV Games/Electronic Arts, 2007)
3. Fallout 3 (Bethesda Softworks, 2008)
2. Katamari Damacy (Namco, 2004)
1. BioShock (2K Games, 2007)

My only thought is it's nice to see SSX get some recognition.

Also, I never thought Out of This World was very good.

[Don Flamenco]

Yay, finally some recognition for ninja gaiden. even though the write up for it is kinda dumb.

[Bildi]

Oh yeah, I was going to mention Ninja Gaiden too. 

[M3wThr33]

I fucking hate Portal.
It's not like it spawned a new way of making games. Hell, Prey did it better anyway.

[Vizzys]

portal was amazing, sorry

[TakingBackSunday]

That AV Club list is awful.

[iconoclast]

Ikaruga is the most overrated shooting game of all time.

[Don Flamenco]

That AV Club list is awful.

No Mario & no Zelda. The only Ninty game listed is an awesome niche game; yes, awful.

not even aonuma likes zelda:

[Cormacaroni]

Posting in here just to bump the number of views from 108 to 109. It seemed wrong.

[Human Snorenado]

List doesn't contain ICO or SotC; it does have a MGS game on there, but it's the superior 3 as opposed to the dreadful in every way 2 so I can't hate on him TOO much for that.  Not the worst list in the world, needs more BioWare/Black Isle.

[pilonv1]

It's Tim Rogers.

Who is Tim Rogers.

Guitarist for awesome australian band You Am I.

[Bildi]

FFFUUUUUUUU... I thought that name sounded familiar.  Tim is such an awesome dude.

[pilonv1]

indeed, one of the few local bands from my teenage/uni years i havent seen live that i want to

[tiesto]

It's not that terrible a list, but wtf is Gears of War doing so high on there? And I must be the only one who has never played Out of this World... not really into those slow paced Prince of Persia type sidescrollers.

[Great Rumbler]

Hell, Prey did it better anyway.

Unlike the later game Portal, the player cannot create portals directly, and portals remain fixed in space.

Really?

[archie4208]

M3w is still upset about the Orange Box PS3 port.

[demi]

Ctrl+F "Secret of Mana"

Oh look at that. Evermore > Mana

Manafags ANNIHILATED

[magus]

meh both are crappy game

9. Chrono Trigger

i smolder with generic rage!

[APF]

Noby Noby Boy is a game?

[Joe Molotov]

Ctrl+F "Secret of Mana"

Oh look at that. Evermore > Mana

Manafags ANNIHILATED

And Tim Rogers is a super-weaboo desu uguu~, and even he acknowledges the Square USA developed Evermore. Secret of Mana sucks, confirmed.

[recursivelyenumerable]

i haven't had a pedantry fix in awhile and am getting antsy, so:

Evermore was developed by Square Soft Inc. (in Seattle)

Square USA (in LA and Honolulu) developed games: Parasite Eve, Chocobo's Dungeon 2, Chocobo Racing, FF9.

So some of the BEST games came from America, who would hve thought

M3w is still upset about the Orange Box PS3 port.

Nah. Fuck Valve games on all consoles. I buy on Steam. Like a real man.

I just think a 2-hour game concept got way too much praise because it was probably one of the few games people finished. And it wasn't even the game that was good, it was the in-jokes that made every person feel like they were in the cool club and FUCKING RUINED BIRTHDAY PARTIES at my work for a whole goddamn year. 18 of the 20 levels were fucking tutorial missions. The real replay in the game comes from time trials? Fuck that. There's a reason the game sells for the same cost as Diner Dash.

It turned people into fucking parrots, "The cake is a lie!", "The cake is a lie!", "The cake is a lie!", "The cake is a lie!"
Arghfuck. Yes, I get it. The voice in the game talked about food and the same food is now here. And you're pointing it out, again. Do you also only see 1 movie a year and try to make a reference to that every chance you get?

It's like no one gave a shit about the real meat of the Orange Box. Thankfully the jokes have finally died down, but I hate people that thought they were being clever for pointing out the stupidest fucking shit ever put in a game.

So yeah, fuck Portal.

[M3wThr33]

Even that shit I don't mind as much, because that was an interesting concept. Still taken a bit too far, but it's not as bad because there's not as much opportunity to shit up a discussion with references to it.

[demi]

Dont worry bro. Portal is trash.

I replayed it a little bit ago and chatted online with some people about it without the references.  it was even funny again since I had some distance from the launch of the game.  I think you're still shellshocked from the initial outpouring (understandable.)  There really was about a 3 hour window to enjoy the dialogue of the game untainted by nerds...the 3 hours after it came out on steam.

I liked it because it was really FUN.

[M3wThr33]

I don't know what angers me more. "Cake is a lie" references or people to referring to all puzzle games as "Like Tetris."

[chronovore]

One of the things that's nice about this board is that Tim Rogers' name doesn't automatically result in some Godwin's Law-esque thread meltdown. Though I LOL'd at "weaboo desu uguu~"

[Don Flamenco]

I kinda like his site.  No way in hell am I reading those full reviews, but reading a quarter of the Out of this World one prompted me to DL it and play it a bit.

This is my kind of meltdown

[FlameOfCallandor]

Gears of war is #6 

[Don Flamenco]

Gears of war is #6 

and he called it game of the decade.   

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Tim Rogers

I didn't read the list but since it is Tim Rogers, I assume it is a shit list.

[ferrarimanf355]

OutRun 2 is too low on that list. 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Gears of war is #6 

Noby Noby Boy is on that list.  That right there is insane enough.

[Great Rumbler]

Flashback >>> Another World

I couldn't get into Another World but Flashback... man... loved that game. It was also one of the first games I have ever finished from start to finish. Of course back then I used maps & solutions printed in gaming mags

Man, I loved Flashback. Everything about it was just so awesome.

 I never made it very far though because it was so hard. :'(

[demi]

Both of those games are garbage. Heart of Darkness hello

[Don Flamenco]

anyone played Out of this World 2: Heart of the Alien?   I picked up a long time ago, in case I ever got a sega CD...never happened (sold off the game too.)

[Herr Mafflard]

Flashback is my favorite game on the Genesis. 

Back then, I don't think I played anything that had that much atmosphere.

[drew]

so im browsing through his site and reading through the ninja gaiden 2 review, i invite you to try (key word here) to read it @

http://www.actionbutton.net/?p=474#more-474

this guy is so stupid that its actually pretty impressive, he sounds like a 13 year old that just got the dosage of his adhd meds bumped up trying (key word here too) to be funny on the internet
