The worst videogame TV shows of the decade
Hmm. AotS isn't bad, and it hardly focuses on games, so it's an odd pick for the list. Considering how you missed one of Spike's old gaming shows (which they showed alongside what is now GTTV). I don't recall the name, but it was everything you would expect from a Spike TV show about videogames. Retarded sketches (Like trying to have old people set up a PS2), biased reviews, and a segment called "Get kicked in the nuts for a free videogame.". 30 minutes of stereotypical gamer bullshit, and it could have warrented a WoH article all its' own.

The Top 7… Games you don't want for Christmas 2009
Wow. Just wow. I know that you guys have a serious fetish for pissing on Wii games, but now you're letting it interfere with what should otherwise be a solid article. A good "Worst games of the year" list, shouldn't just be predictable casual titles like Twilight or Imagine. No, you should be taking this as a chance to dig around and find TRUELY miserable games. Failures like Rogue Warrior, or Guitar Hero : Van Halen. Games that are actually intended for our audiences, not just games that you happen to think are are boring and childish. Nobody that reads this site is actually going to RECIEVE Scene It : Twilight, so why bother talking about it? Oh, that's right. Because you think you're hilarious for talking smack about something popular. Even if it doesn't make a damn bit of sense in context. Same with Imagine - nobody here is going to get one of them, so there's really no point in listing it. You did make some decent choices though - ones that are actually relivant. Ride? It's been a bit overdone, but certainly deserving. Band Hero? It's possible that a music game fan could spot it under the tree, so I'll call it a positive addition. Super Hero Squad? Now you're just acting like a horde of angry Marvel fanboys. But I assume in a stretch, some nearly-blind grandmother could pick it up, knowing how much you love "That Spider Man fellow". Though since even grandmothers are able to percieve that you don't give a teenager an E-rated game, I'll call it a Bullshit addition. Republic Heroes? Geeks like Star Wars, so I'll give this one a pass. But it's after here that you lose all sense of originality. As I said - not even a blind great aunt who only knows the vague location of where the video game section is in Wal-Mart will end up buying the average GamesRadar vistor a copy of "Imagine : Ice Skater". Plus, they've been around for the past two years - are you simply too unoriginal to look for something from this year - IN A DAMN YEARLY LIST? That would be like me saying America's Next Top Model is the worst show of the year. Sure, it's bad - but I'm not really who they're trying to entertain, and it's been on for the majority of the decade. I already called you out on Scene It : Twilight, which I'm confident is only there so the writer could release the same rage that I've been seeing everywhere for the past year. And finally there's Call of Duty : Modern Warfare : Reflex. It would've been a smart edition, IF THE GAME WAS ACTUALLY BAD. The writer even admits at the beginning that it got a decent 7/10, yet completely ignores that fact, and makes it seem like cyanide compressed into a disc. Think about this from the perspective of somebody who only owns a Wii - Shocking, they do exist. It's a pretty fun & addictive online multiplayer game. If you owned two consoles, I suppose it'd be a shitty gift - but not deserving of a Top 7 list. I like you GamesRadar. You have clever ideas on how to talk about gaming - but you've let it become clogged with basic fanboy-level console bashing. It's disappointing.

What's the story with Sonic the Hedgehog 2010?
*buzzer sound* Wrong again, GamesRadar. http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=95970 Despite the HD claims, the Wii is not in fact "ruled out". Research before deciding to add in more of your self-loving fanboy bullshit.

QOTW: What peripheral let you down the most?
WiiSpeak. When I got it, I figured "Finally! Voice chat on the Wii!". Then I realized no other games took the time to support it, it was locked down by friend codes, and NOBODY ELSE OWNED THE THING.

The games of fall '09
Seriously, no Silent Hill : Shattered Memories? The only promising game to come out of the Silent Hill franchise in years? Plus, no Rabbids Go Home, a twisted platformer from the same people behind the ACTUAL Rayman games? No Dead Space Extraction, a revolution of the on-rails shooter? No Muramasa, the sort of 2D game that you people need to be covering with all your heart and soul simply for the hope that more games like it will release? Oh GamesRadar. Your blatant console fanboyism just stands on the edge of being adorable.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii): Super Mario Galaxy 2 - first-look
I see this one as more of a Mario Bros 2 dealie (the REAL one, none of this US-only crap). It's the classic formula, remixed for a far more experienced crowd. I expect challenges that will make Luigi's Purple Coins look like NOTHING.

Why 3D is the new HD
I disagree with something like StarCraft not using 3D well. Zoomed-out presentation with your units lifted off the screen? It would be a huge step in immersion. At the same time, how will this fit in with our other gaming future - motion control? 3D usually works best from one stationary viewpoint - moving around may eff up the picture. Full head-tracking is an option, but it doesn't work for more than 1 person. I say that Playstation will be the first to really try this. They really show themselves as THE HD console, with the best processing power - so I think they'll jump on this new generation of visuals first as an upgrade to the PS3.

E3 09: Why wait? E3's hottest games reviewed NOW!
Really? Scribblenauts only gets a 7? Despite being the most unique game made in DECADES, and working perfectly, you give it a 7. I know you're not a serious gaming site, but at least TRY to hide your raging PS3/360 erections.

Shocker - you continue to bash Wii games. Honestly, half your agruements against NSMBWii were just random BS. "There were only 10 levels in the demo". Really? You could at least try and hide your insane bias, but no. You shit on games simply because you know that's what the people who take you seriously - PS3/360 fanboys who got pissed at IGN for whatever reason - want to hear. You're a bunch of spineless twits with no opinion of your own.
