kitty.gifRakka, over at Aeropause, posted up a great, great response to a post “THE 10 MANLIEST VIDEO GAMES OF ALL TIME” that went around the ‘net yesterday.

I think it’s briliant, especially in this day and age when the industry is really trying to figure out how to reach out to the fairer sex instead of staying in a niche on the testosterone side of the fence.

Game Revolution has posted up what they consider to be the top 50 worst video game names of all time. The bottom 10 or so are a really reaching, but it’s still a funny list. Included: Yo! Noid. Which may also be one of the worst games of all time, too.

Found a great little editorial piece here on Cathode Tan about Duke Nukem Forever. Should this game be canned, finally? Will it even stand up to the modern gamer? I mean, really, the kids that play 3D shooters these days won’t even have known The Duke by the time the game is actually finished.

Duke NukemAh, the laughing stock of the game development world. How easy it has become to make fun of the never-ending wait to see the next Duke Nukem game. I wonder what has happened since the original announcement. If only there was an easy way to find out.

Oh, wait! There is!

I’ve never uncovered this little tid-bit myself, especially since I don’t use in-game music, but check out this video from WoW. Creepy.

I’m not sure, but I think Ikaruga may be the hardest SHMUP I’ve ever encountered. It pwned me on Easy mode. This video is of someone playing on Hard. But, like anything well practiced, the player makes it look like nothing. It reminds me of watching my sensei demonstrating a technique.

Joi basically sums up my own personal experience with this game, too. It’s not just addiction, though. It’s addiction in terms of a new way of socializing and learning social dynamics. To sum up,

It represents the future of real-time collaborative teams and leadership in an always-on, diversity-intensive, real-time environment. World of Warcraft is a glimpse into our future.
