Hating the numerical ranking of games by Flavio 02/28/2006, 3:53pm PST
apparently doesn't get in the way of writing up endless top 10 lists.

To people like you, there's no point trying something utterly genius like Fatal Frame III (80%) when you could be playing Resident Evil 4 (96.1%), which is nearly one fifth better.


Some day I'd really like to peek inside that misguided, fun-hating head of his.


Resident Evil 4 not even cracking the top ten games of this year because "it's nothing groundbreaking (it's all about design!)" and the only reason people like it so much is because the previous games sucked. Meanwhile thoroughly mediocre Goldeneye clone Timesplitters - which adds aboslutely nothing new to the design formula - nabs #2 of 2005. Humor was the absolute only thing that game had going for it. If I wanted a crap FPS that coasts entirely on atmosphere I'd play Killer 7 (#8). To people like you there's no point in trying it when you could be playing Timesplitters (#2), which would have been remarkable had it been released seven years ago.


Fuck motherfucking Eve of Destruction already. To quote the Filthy Critic, I'll give anyone $100 for every person you know who liked it if you give me $1 for everyone who quickly grew bored with it and went back to playing Burnout.
