Please don't get me started on The Monitor. The other two need not apply.

The fact that AI controlled team mates are more useful than human beings in Left 4 Dead kind of makes me want to lose faith in humanity.

1. Metroid Prime

2. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

3. Super Mario World

4. Super Mario Bros

5. Pokemon Silver

That's all I can think of at the moment.

The idea for a game is just commercialism but god, I don't know where to start with that challenge video.

I saw three copies of Too Human, two copies of Dark Sector, and a copy of Facebreaker. Now obviously he gets all of that for free but the punchline is that he has about 40 games and only 3000 gamerscore. /facepalm

I have noticed a decline in video game quality over the years. There aren't a lot of games were you can actually use intelligence and strategy. Its more of a button mashing madness extravaganza filled with ACTION ACTION ACTION.

I have heard a theory of why video games have declined in such a way. The theory is that Halo killed intelligent gaming. I know that at some point video games devolved into being nothing but run and gun, non-stop action. And the theory is that Halo was the catalyst.

From what I here, Halo introduced a whole new generation to gaming; people who weren't previously gamers. This new generation wanted nothing but fast based uber action, and video games have changed to accommodate them. I am talking about the guys like my friend, who upon seeing me play a turn based final fantasy game said "Oh, its one of "those" games". Ya knucklehead, it's one of "those" games. Where you take time and plan a strategy rather than mash buttons like a monkey.

For those who doubt this Halo generation killed gaming as we know it, I would like to point out that it has happened somewhere else in a much more notable way. I am talking about MMOs. World of Warcraft introduced a massive new wave of players into the MMO experience. About half the people playing MMOs started with WoW. Modern MMOs have changed drastically to accommodate these new players. They have a much greater focus on PvP, uber loot, massive raids, and pwnage.

So we do have proof that one major game can completely change the format of the video gaming industry. I just wonder if Halo really was that game. If it was, then this is the time for us to send a few brave soldiers back in time to go all Sarah Conner on the original Halo. On November 15, 2001 Halo became self-aware.

Oh for the love of christ.

If you seriously support this bullcrap, go to GiantBomb where egotistic fanboyism runs wild like cattle on the prarie. Never buy a Tomb Raider game ever again; I'm sure your decision will affect Eido's profits. If you need any more proof to confirm how completely false all the controversy was just look at the way GS dealt with Underworld; still a relatively low score, posted on schedule. Jeff got sacked for a reason; he sucked at his job.

Congratulations to Gabe, Tycho, Khoo and anyone else associated with the comic, it rules.
