Rift (PC): Rift review
I got a feeling... that the Rifts are going to suck big time in a very short while. WoW had something very similar just before Cataclysm opened up. there would be this huge invasion of major faction cities and everyone could jump in and play whack-a-mole. There was no loot but the fights were interesting until about the 10th or 12th or 15th time. The city was useless during a "rift" and if no one bothered to kill the mobs, I would have to go somewhere else. Rift can do this right smack in the middle of your questing and if no one bothers to fight, you are stuck till it eventually goes away. That will be a REAL pain. Bad enough to have your assets smoked by Blackwing for 10 minutes and the NPCs dead for bit, but to close down the zone for any length of time? No thanks...

Amazing! What a poster this would make. I am still trying to find lemmings and pitfall though...

13 Worst gaming innovations of all time
Geez, you missed "Checkpoint saves" or even worse, "x number of lives". So if you are NOT a expert thumb twicher, you get to REPEAT, REPEAT,REPEAT the level, level, level. How about "unlockable stuff" that I will NEVER see as I cannot click a button fast enough to earn the game developer's respect.
