The website www.games.net has an excellent feature called Net Ten Features. The concept is simple; list 10 things related to gaming in general. Topics are varied, ranging from the Top Ten Hugely Overrated Games to the The Ten Best Apocalypses in Gaming. Good stuff. Here’s the main list.
In a lazy sort of way, I thought I’d list a few of my favourite ones that’ll make you either grimace, agree or get violently angry. It would have been apt to have listed my ten favourites, but I didn’t want to, so there.
- Ten Games With God-Awful Names. I don’t know how WWE Smackdown! Shut Your Mouth isn’t occupying top spot in this list. Oh yes, because ‘Syphon Filter’ is first. Syphon Filter. Honestly.
- Top Ten Disturbingly Sexual Game Characters. Ooh, Birdo, what a lovely big perfectly round mouth you have.
- Ten Modern Classics Every Gamer Should Own. I own 5 of these, thus improving my quality of life by 50%.
- Pants Optional: Top Sexy Gaming Moments. Proof that gaming equals smut.
- The Most Kickass FPS Guns Ever. A travesty of justice on this one, I’m afraid, as Doom 2’s double-barreled shotgun fails to make first place. Shame on you games.net, shame on you!
If you’re reading this then you’ve managed to escape the allure of the Ms Pac Man picture in the Top Ten Disturbingly Sexual Game Characters. Congratulations, you’re a stronger person than I.
i once windmilled the club and smacked pete in the face!...
How is Halo’s energy sword a gun? The mind boggles. Also, er, no BFG 9000!?
Sorry, just needed to rant about that one a little bit.
