The article made a few mistakes regarding a few games.

The most obvious is Halo: Reach.
Seems ironic that he starts talking about it with "any Halo fan can tell you..." then goes on to say Reach was destroyed "years" before the trilogy, when it's stated in the first game (and in numerous other instances) it was destroyed mere "days" before Halo 1. The Pillar of Autumn (ship from Halo 1) made a "blind jump" to escape Reach... That's when the Halo trilogy begins.

Meh...

Sorry, mr article creator... i just don't "feel" any guilt for "the act".

There was already some games who looked and played almost exactly like that game that were released decades before. They are still being released now and then.

Dragon's Lair, Space Ace...

You pushed a joystick or a button on "cue" to change the animation sequence of the "game". Same as the "act" where you turn a knob to change the animation. They all look the same exact kind of game.

Trial and error games like those are somewhat a thing of the past (and should mostly stay there if you ask me)...

i pre ordered from gamestop and didnt get any thing. Should i have?

huh... ODST was made in a single year. MW2 took about twice as long, at minimum.
Even Halo: Reach was started before ODST... They are not made by the same Bungie "team".

So no, MW2 should not be compared to ODST for the length of development, as is mentionned in the article.

Just sayin'

A shame about the entire Thief series really.

It got it's whole light "stolen" away by the Splinter Cell games.

Splinter Cells, i've enjoyed some, but they always "felt" more like linear "puzzle" games to me. It was more a game of "find a way to get through a room without being detected. Retry and repeat until you figure it out."

The Thief series was really a "sneaking experience" that hasn't been seen outside that series to my knowledge, outside very specific (and rare) quests in Oblivion, and the "occasional" instance in Deus Ex 1 & 2.
It wasn't a "puzzle" game, it was trully about sneaking past guards and to try to be inventive in the way you approached the game. Can't get in a building through the front-door? Get from the rooftop, the basement, the balcony, the window... Usually, the "easier" entry points would mean more rooms to cross toward your objective once you were inside the building. Trully genious design.

Here's to hoping that Thief 4 will actually be released. I'll be the first in line.

The Magic of Scherazade on the NES (maybe a typo there in the title :)...) was an arabian night-style where you had to keep going back and forth in time to solve puzzles.
Can't go to an island to reach a temple? Travel forward in time a few hundred years when there will be no lake around the temple.

Can't defeat an ennemy boss/demon thing monster? Go back in time a few millenias when he was still new to the world and beat him then.

I still think it was a better "Zelda-like" game than Zelda itself.

Chrono Cross/Trigger, Darkest of Days and yes... even the very known, but rarelly played DaiKatana could've been mentionned here. All games BASED on time travel.

@ DeadGirls
no fallout 3 is one of the best games ever made. It deserves a ten out of ten.
I raped the game and got all 1550 achievment points and it was a very very enjoyable 120 hrs that i am glad i had done

yea this dlc wasnt good at all all you did was shoot aliens and press buttons and travel so far just to go in the same looking hallway as you were in before. what a waste of $10!

is spider man pissing on the wall

its only $3 at gamestop though
