100 Years 100 Games (under contruction)

Well okay, not 100 years but AFI had such a good title for it...

Anyway, if IGN can do it, so can I. From 100 to 1. These are my personal favorites and games that have had a lasting impact on me, so no, they won't be exactly like the generic best games ever lists, but may be similar because some games are just damn good.

100. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault (PC)
Made the list thanks in no small part to the unforgettable scene upon Omaha beach.
99. Forza Motorsport 2 (360)
Realistic, polished, and fun, something I don't find often in racing games.
98. Mr. Driller (DC)
Unusual, I know, but this is a game I constantly popped back into my Dreamcast for it's simplistic pleasures.
97. Jet Force Gemini (N64)
Not the best Rare game, but the great-for-its-time 3rd person shooting and co-op made it memorable.
96. Mafia (PC)
Realistic, sometimes too realistic. A compelling story made it memorable.
95. Timesplitters 2 (PS2)
Goldeneye for the PS2 age. Fun singleplayer settings, even better multiplayer with very original characters and modes.
94. The Sims 2 (PC)
The first game was flawed and frustrating, so is this game, but something I enjoyed messing around with for a few hours.
93. Mario Tennis (N64)
Not Mario's best cash-in game, but really addictive, fantastic multiplayer, and cool courses and characters.
92. Final Fantasy VIII (PS)
Good soap-opera plot and characters,well-built system,but a bit overwhelming in terms of difficulty and interface.
91. Condemned: Criminal Origins (360)
Freaky, atmospheric with coolmelee combat. Jumps the shark at the end, but one of the creepier games I've ever played.
90. Kingdom Hearts II (PS2)
Too easy, but very cinematic, compelling story and generally great characters made this satisfying. And a great ending.
89. Final Fantasy X (PS2)
Great FMV scenes, Auron's speechs brought the game to life with an intriguing plot and a unique but flawed sphere system.
88. Super Street Fighter II (SNES)
Not much of a fighting game fan, but the ****c characters and arenas were a part of my childhood with the SNES. Blanka for life!
87. SimCity 3000 (PC)
To be honest, I may be thinking of 2000. But really, this game was all about going big, then blowing it all to hell. ****c fun.
86. Star Wars Rogue Squadron (N64)
Simply well made. Good variety of vehicles and missions made it fun. Not overly difficult like it's sequel.
85.Silent Hill 2 (PS2)
One of the scariest games ever, hands down. An eerie plot and terrifying sound effects will kept this game in my nightmares.
84. NBA Street Vol. 2 (PS2)
For someone who hates bball games, this was great. Over-the-top and a complete change of formula made me a lifetime fan.
83. Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (PC)
A bit too vast for me, but the freedom was something unseen at that point and made Morrowind something to come back to.
82. Dead Rising (360)
Defintely overly difficult and irritating save system. But is the dream game for anyone like me who loves Dawn of the Dead.
81. Pikmin 2 (GC)
Never played the first, this game was wonderfully innovate. A great twist on an RTS game, though got too difficult too fast.
80. Crackdown (360)
Short, but did what GTA didn't dare to do. Add the element of superhuman powers. Mindless fun for hours on end.
79. Rainbow Six: Vegas (360)
Flawed, but compelling campaign. Great setting, graphics and cover system. Multiplayer was fun for ranking up.
78. Wave Race 64 (N64)
Waves changed how racing worked, making it much more fun than the typical racing title. I came back to this many times.
77. Pokemon Snap (N64)
When released, seeing my favorite Pokemon in 3D was awesome, getting pics was more fun than it had any right to be.
76. Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards (N64)
Not the most praised Kirby game, but for me, it was insanely replayable with the levels and graphics some of the best on the N64
75. Doom 3 (PC)
Say what you will, this is the scariest game I've ever played. The criticized flashlight actually made the game better and scarier.
74. Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield (PC)
The last of the true Rainbow Six. Planning out missions and terrorist hunts were great, the weapon selection was fantastic too.
73. SSX 3 (PS2)
I rented this for no real reason, and ended up loving it. My first SSX, but definitely memorable. Fun hills and characters.
72. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (GEN)
Sonic always frustrated me a bit, but Sonic 3 stood out because I actually owned it, Knuckles made his appearance too, yay.
71. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (DC)
This was great because my favorite characters all got to duke it out in face-paced high-res 2D action. Tag-teams were a blast.
70. Super Mario Kart (SNES)
Single-player could often frustrate me, but multiplayer, especially battle, was epic in my childhood.
69. Rampage: World Tour (Arcade)
As a child, and still today, this simple pleasure of climbing buildings and smashing and eating anything in sight never gets old.
68. Halo 2 (XBX)
Great to me not for the multiplayer, but for the compelling story no one gives it credit for. Adds so much to the Halo story.
67. Donkey Kong Country (Super NES)
Not a game I played a lot, but a game I liked a lot. Great looking even today and challenging while still being fun.
66. Saint's Row (360)
Looked like a cheap-knock off, but turned out to be more fun than GTA. Better missions, but activities and great physics.
65. Full Spectrum Warrior (PC)
Combining tactic 3rd person shooting and RTS was too bold for some, but I thought it was brilliant and it worked.
64. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii)
The formula is old, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The Wii makes it feel new and the setting& tone reminds me of an old fav.
63. Kingdom Hearts (PS2)
Daring and original, with Zelda inspired gameplay and a story deeper than most realize. The ending left me wanting more.
62. Fight Night Round 3 (360)
Jaw dropping graphics, no HUD, and the famous control scheme all together made Fight Night 3 the best in series. Still love it.
61. Duke Nukem 3D (PC)
Even when I was young I recognized this as a Doom knock-off, but it's humor and areas were fun enough to make an impression.
60. Dead or Alive 2 (DC)
Maybe it was the girls? Maybe not? But DOA2 wasalways in my DC, cool fighting system and dropping people off ledges was fun.
59. Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (GC)
I hated the cel-shading at first, but once I played it, it rocked. They really work, and the sailing is fun too, until the Triforce maps.
58. Age of Empires (PC)
****c RTS. Great units, structures, resourcesand epic battles. Truly original and the map editor made it a game of my childhood
57. Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now (PC)
I played this game as a kid, against the wishes of every American politician. And it was hilarious fun, I'm not crazy from it, yet.
56. Empire Earth (PC)
Empire Earth took what was good in era-specific RTSs and put them into one. The ages were great and the units were even better.
55. Halo 3 (360)
The story was a bit hazy, but it was truly cinematic, epic, and the co-op is fantastic. Forge keeps me playing for hours.
54. Super Mario 64 (N64)
Something I didnt experience until Wii VC. Didnt have the same impact on me, but I can appreciate it. Collecting stars is addictive
53. Pokemon Blue (GB)
In it's time, it was more fun than any other game. I took it with me everywhere, connecting to others added a new level of fun.
52. Halo: Combat Evolved (XBX)
Breathtaking graphics, a reason to system link, co-op for hours, Halo had so many reasons to play, I just had to play them all.
51. Devil May Cry (PS2)
Cheesy and over-the-top but truly bad ass. Dante was one of the slickest characters ever and the gameplay was fun if simplistic.
50. Shogo: Mobile Armor Division (PC)
Lesser known, but one of Monolith's best. Great FPS no matter if your a giant mech over a city, or a human roaming the hallways.
49. Jet Grind Radio (DC)
One of the Dreamcast's best. Soaked in ****and originality and fun, free-roaming gameplay that I got hooked on.
48. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (PC)
Strong improvements over predecessors, and unique multiplayer madeit not only the prettiest game at the timebut the most fun
47. Quake III: Arena (PC)
Cool characters, great arenas and quad damage. Unfortuantly, it was short and lived mostly online, but overshadowed by UT.
46. Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butchers Bay (PC)
Surprising. Had the best melee combat ever, some cool stealth elements and great visuals. A cinematic story didn't hurt either.
45. Call of Duty 2 (360)
About as good as the first with a satisfying campaign and simple yet fun multiplayer. Very passionate campaign made it great.
44. Claw (PC)
Monolith's brilliantly difficult 2D platformer was original, memorable and featured a cat pirate. How could I forget it?
43. Splinter Cell (PC)
I neverthought a spy-themed game could be so realistic while being fun. Complicated but extremely rewarding and is a ****c.
42. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (360)
Easier to follow and progress than Morrowind, Oblivion is pretty and fun to do quests and to mess around. Rage spells = hilarity.
41. Spider-Man (N64)
As a big Spidey fan, this game satisfied me a lot. Limited freedom and web-swinging felt natural. All the best baddies helped.
40. Grand Theft Auto III (PS2)
The missions sucked, this game is just ****c for it's freedom, for it's violence for it's no brains necessary entertainment.
39. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)
Unlike Mario 64, I didn't wait years to play this. The mini-worlds concept is creative, fun, and the graphics are great.
38. Super Smash Bros. Melee (GC)
New challengers were neat, new arenas fantastic, graphics phenominal. Continued the ****c gameplay but with new fun tweaks.
37. Bioshock (360)
Genius plot and setting that disappoints at the end, but the amazing graphics, world, enemies and plasmids make it a keeper.
38. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (PS2)
By adding civilians, larger areas, scripted events and online, Tony Hawk became my reason for buying a PS2. I don't regret it.
37. Resident Evil 4 (GC)
Unsure of it at first, I quickly grew to love RE4. Overly tough but, the combat system is fantastic and graphics even better.
36. Goldeneye 007 (N64)
I didn't own it, so it wasn't the godsend to me thatmany people swore by, but many of the levels and multiplayer are ****c.
35. Star Fox 64 (N64)
Several different ways to play through, different endings, years ahead of it's time. This game truly rocked.
34. Mario Party (N64)
Some of the best mini-games ever, and ridiculously fun multiplayer makes it a party game for the ages.
33. StarCraft (PC)
I sucked at it, but it's level-editor helped me create an unfair advantage for myself. Amazing units and design, ****c sound FX.
32. Rollercoaster Tycoon (PC)
Managing became fun, hiring staff, making people puke, creating your own rides, then deliberately crashing them. Timeless.
31. Perfect Dark (N64)
I actually owned it, so it meant more to me than 007. Great for using bots, cool levels,plot, and some of the best guns ever.
30. Quake (PC)
Iconic. Despite not playing too far in to the campaign, Istill love it. Great enemies and the nail gun and rocket launcher still rock.
29. Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings (PC)
The first game was cool, this was ****c. Great to look at, insane fun to invade and conquer. Plus it was easy for people like me.
28. Gears of War (360)
A gun with a chainsaw on the end is like love at first sight. The best co-op ever made and ridiculously addictive multiplayer.
27. Call of Duty (PC)
An epic WWII storyas goodas Band of Brothers. I'llnever forgetwhen the Germans were bring us coffee thanks to Call of Duty.
26. Guitar Hero II (360)
The first GH I bought. Afterwards, listening to rock constantly made me imagine little coloured circles flying towards me.
25. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (N64)
Few games are awesome enough to actually make me want to learn to skateboard. The coolness of TH made me want to, it rocks
24. Super Mario Bros. 3 (Super NES edition)
I'm talking the All-Stars version. ****c levels with great suits that I've played more times than I can count and still love it.
23. Super Mario World (Super NES)
Just a bit better than Bros 3, introducing Yoshi, some great castles,and the cape all help Mario World be as great as it is.
22. God of War II (PS2)
The first game was only so-so to me, this one truly rocked. An epic first boss battle that was better than most games last boss.
21. Portal (PC)
Few games dare to be as creative as Portal. Using a simple portal gun and solving puzzles and conspiracies proved to be ****c.
20. Worms 2 (PC)
Friends& Iwould play this for days on end, creating our own arenas and finding ways to kill each other in unique ways.
19. Burnout 3: Takedown (PS2)
Itis the most fun a racing game can be. No more am I penalized for hitting enemies, now I smash them to hell! Glorious!!!
18. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (PC)
Good vs. evil, at the time this idea was exciting and rewarding. It actually challenged my morals which is no small feat.
17. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (GEN)
I had this on Genesis, and 4 players and a few hours to spare made my childhood very repetative but very fun with TMNT.
16. Conker's Bad Fur Day (N64)
Absolutely hilarious, I played it when I was very immature so the jokes really worked for me. The multiplayer is still fantastic.
15. Battlefield 1942 (PC)
This single game dominated an entire summer of mine. No other game could overthrow it, it rocked. Planes, boats, tanks, wow.
14. Half-Life (PC)
Shoot AND think? Half-Life changed everything, greatpuzzles and a weird sci-fi plot made me come back to it many times.
13. Super Smash Bros. (N64)
So much fun, it's not even fair. The best Nintendo characters ever in a street fight. Cool arenas and awesome powerups = ****c.
12. Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64)
Disgustingly under-rated. The unique timeline added new elements to the game and the masks were creative and fun. I gotemall
11. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (PS2)
Say what you will about the plot and Raiden the game was still addictive and compelling, it had intelligence to it andwas cinematic
10. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (SNES)
My first SNES game. The graphics were creative, the concept was great and the gameplay original and addictive, very memorable.
9. Unreal Tournament (PC)
UT defined early online shooters. The modes were fast-paced and frantically fun. The maps and guns were perfect, and smacktalk
8. Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)
Beautiful is the best way to describe it. A Zelda game where the puzzles and bosses are the same thing. Just fantastic looking.
7. World of Warcraft (PC)
Haters don't know the BURRRRN of Warcraft. Addictive and unusually satisfying, partying and socializing is unnervingly fun.
6. Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence (PS2)
Intelligent and political, the most realistic plot of the series, heavily inspired by great filmsand an emotional ending.
5. Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne (PC)
Almost as good as the original, fantastic graphics and physics and great comic cutscenes, a bit short but great enough to forgive.
4. Doom II (PC)
The game that I played young and inspired me to love video games as I do today. Addicting, satisfying and tricky, plus the BFG.
3. Counter-Strike (PC)
No online game compares. Several maps were flawless, teamwork was essential and the weapon selection was great. Still amazing
2. Max Payne (PC)
The story was over-the-top but ambitious, great art, wicked gameplay and the slo-mo made the game extremely cool.
1. Half-Life 2 (PC)
How did Valve manage to top HL1? They did. The gravity gun changed how I think about physics and gameplay. Nearly flawless.
1. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
The music, the items, the locations, the dungeons, the vastness, the amazing finale, the length, the endless sidequests. Everything about Ocarina of Time is fantastic, the game is as flawless as a game will ever come. Years ahead of it's time, it perfectly translates the 2D titles that I wasn't too familar with into a great 3D world. Nintendo did it before with Mario and later with Metroid and show they now how to evolve a series. I doubt ay game will ever be able to top OoT for me, it's just too damn perfect.

Go Die PSP!

So my brother got a PSP for Christmas. Pretty snazy. It was slick and really nice menus and resolution.

So we try to connect the bugger to the internet. It was a no go. What were they thinking making it so difficult? 90% of the gamers aren't going to understand wtf WLAN is. Personally, I don't know my WLAN, MAC, WEP address/number/code WHATEVER. I don't know anything about a Proxy server.

It's a royal pain in the ass to get the thing online. I need to screw around with the access things on my router to get the bugger to work on it. Not to mention the pain that wireless is, "dont be near radiowaves, don't be near lots of metal" Signals this and signals that, losing connection and last time we set up a wireless connection in my household, every wired connection got shut offline when the wireless one went online.

If there is one thing in the computer world that is confusing as hell, a HUGE pain in the ass (especially on houses with more than one computer) is internet. God damn.

So, we need this "update" to play Star Wars Battlefront 2. GOOD LUCK. You can download the update to your memory card through the PC which I did. Then recharged it, went ahead and started the update to be greeted by a glitchy BLANK screen. I know the text is there, I just can't see it. So the update was not successful.

My last resort, a UMD with the update. Where do I find those? You tell me.

I'm sure the PSP is fantastic, the preview UMD I got really spelt that out for me with the wonderful videos I got to watch of games. Great graphics. If I got to play it'd be even better. And whatabout single player people? They just want to play GTA alone and they have to download an update primarly for online capabilities. Blah, stupid.

The NEW Gamespot. *gasp*

Well, since the whole system has been down for weeks we're finally back up.

Hmm, the layout gave a bad first impression because it was buggy and I have to say that the GS staff didn't make the transition the smoothest ever, unfortuantly. Oh well, most glitches are aside and the forums are working (for now).

I've come to like the new layout. There are some nifty features though I will still miss the previous layout since it rocked my socks big time.

I do like that my blog is on the main page of my profile, more people will actually read it! Hurray!

Anyway, I'm still playing WoW a bit. I subscribed for 3 more months (about 2 months left now) and I am losing interest, so I'll just try to power level up to 60 by going in dungeons like mad or something. I'm currently Level 37.

I also got Day of Defeat Source which rocks. Next I'm getting FEAR and hopefully Quake 4 (assuming it's good) and maybe the odd PS2 game (ie MGS3 Subsistence)

I finished watching Season 1 of LOST. Best drama series to ever grace the primetime TV screen. No jokes.

WoW Log #1 - I hate WC [voodoox]

Today, I was playing through World of Warcraft as usual, stuck in the Barrens doing the seemingly never ending quests there.

I got a bunch of well paying quests for the Wailing Caverns so decided to party up and head in. We got a considerable way though, I completed one of four quests, then decided to hit the hay.

The next morning (today), I load the game up and I'm still in WC so I msg some people in the Caverns and party with them. It took a while to find them since those caverns are freakin mazes. But, being a rogue and all I was able to slip past enemies to find them.

I quickly level up to Level 21 yay! Now I can enter the Battlegrounds.

But then all the anger and fury in me was unleashed.

Stupid, stupid enemies always seem to ambush you because the raptors scream for help, buggers. So we constantly had like 50 enemies kill us all. Everyone says WC is easy, well we must really suck. We died from too many enemies, we died from accidently going in their view, we died from returning to life, trying to get back to where we were and having an enemy see us when we were seperated.

It took 3 long hours but I completed all but one quest. Thing is, the last quest only required me to kill ONE, JUST ONE more of those stupid serpant things which I can't remember the name of. Stupid snakes with wings. Of course they are FAR into the cavern, the opposite direction the rest of the party was going.

There was one guy in the party, Verdungo, who was a total jerk. He was dedicated, I mean after like 40 deaths he was the only other member who didn't leave. But he was the kind of guy to point fingers really quick. We die and he'd say something like "voodoo you really f***ed up." sometimes it was true, sometimes not. He exploded at every death "OMG! This is such an easy instance! You all suck at this game!"

I eventually realized that I'd never get that last enemy and even if I did, the amount of money I spent on fixing equipment because of the STUPID durability penalty for dying (better than losing xp) so the quest was hardly worth it.

So eventually I just hearthstoned my way back to the nearby town of Ratchet and fixed my equipment, sold the items I had found in WC and left Verdungo to fend for himself and find new party members. Did he ever complete his quest? I'll never know.

Me and that mean Tauren, Verdungo in Wailing Caverns. Now check the scaling, while sitting down I'm sure a Tauren could squash an undead's bones into powder without even knowing it! Ahhhhh.

Click for hot chicks

Now that I have your attention, I have 2 new sigs that are in rotation on my random sig thing. Check em out, and by the way, I don't take criticism very well :evil:

Crappy Game Plots Vol. 1

Here I will list some of the worst game plots in recent memory. Now that plots actually mean something, it's my duty to share with you developers who suck at being innovative and publishers who suck at caring about quality. Some of the games are good but their story is crap. Also there are probably spoilers in here, so it's your own fault for reading. I'll add more games later if I think of them.

Halo 2

The first game that comes to mind. After advertising like mad about how "earth would never be the same" and that cliched garbage. Now basically every sci-fi movie in existance that was good spawned a sequel where they bring the battle home to Earth. This theme has been used to death but still Master Chief lovers couldn't wait to fight in the big cities and honestly neither could I.

For one moment, lets not think of Master Cheif as a Power Ranger or Green Goblin clone but as an elite badass ready to wreck havoc on earth and provide us the most kick ass battles Xbox has ever seen. But then....

For some reason, Bungie reintroduced that stupid ring world and after one mission on Earth you're sent back to that retarded mimic of Earth and guess who is back? The flood who continue to attack in their mass, relentless and moronic fashion. For some reason Doom 3 got bashed for their zombies not being smart enough but when Halo's Elites and Flood are dumber than President Bush there is no problem.

Also, speaking of elites, in the first game they appeared to be super pissed off that Master Chief interupted them from standing in one place doing nothing. They would scream and run like a mad man. Then when we get to Halo 2 we realize they are an intelligent race with Prophets and lots of religion. Suddenly the bad ass killers in the old Halo are all softened up and wussified to become generals who care about the lives of their soldiers and about respect and honor. Screw these stupid Prophets sitting in their chairs, I want to just kick Elites asses. I hated playing as an elite, like there were rebels. Shut up, that's such a side story it's sickening. It's Bungies way of avoiding a real plot. What ever happened to those sweet scenes we saw in the trailers? The warthogs? The ATV? All scrapped because Bungie couldn't piece it together well enough? Frankly I would have been happy if they slapped those scenes and vehicles anywhere, I mean the plot is already as disjointed as it gets.

Then the ending, that's a whopper. I mean talk about retarded. We get this shaky, temporary alliance between elites and Master Chief to destory Halo. So where's Halo 3 going to start off? Master Chief has Elite babies? I want to kill them in the next game not have them as stupid team mates. Earth's savior my ass, Master Chief ditches the near apocalyptic earth to go blow up a ring. Here's an idea, shoot it with a god damn missile! You do have space ships for military, I hope they can defend themselves. I mean why can't they just launch a nuke at the thing? Why must it be up to Master Chief to get the main controls for the thing and self destruct it, putting yourself and everyone else at risk to get away, not to mention giving the enemies a great window of opportunity to escape and go occupy yet ANOTHER Halo.

Also, was it ever made clear what those stupid flying bug things were? Were the covenant? Flood? I'm sure the uber geeky Halo fans with the complete book collection could tell me. What I'm saying is, Halo 2 had wicked Xbox Live play but the lame plot ruined the potentially great game. Here's an idea for the next game. Master Chief gets a sexy side kick with no Power Rangers armor and they kill everyone in their path with ragdoll physics, sweet guns and lots of gore. God, why doesn't Bungie hire me? Man, I can't wait for the Halo movie, that plot will seriously own.

Lord of the Rings: The Third Age

Nope, I've never played this game. And for good reason. The plot sucks so bad it makes Halo 2 look like a nominee for best original screenplay. Now since I talked so much about Halo, I have to cut this one short.

The Third Age is something about these losers in Middle-Earth who were obviously rejected from the original Fellowship of the Ring but still want to have an adventure. Thing is, no one asked them to come. So they stay away from the Fellowship and just help them out when they aren't looking, giving an extra hand. These wannabe's are just like super nerds who dress up as Orlando Bloom as Legolas and walk on the set of the film pretending to be Orlando. Thing is, you're not. You're a wannabe. Which is what this game is.

It perfectly moulds into the EA Games theory that if there's money to be made, you don't have to work as hard. EA's amount of crappy sequels and expansions show their lack of interest and using licences and names of previous games make crap and pass it off as an official brand of in this case, Lord of the Rings. The idea is you can probably make a Lord of the Rings game in any genre. They did one for hack and slash, strategy, RPG and hey, who knows, soon there might be Hobbit Kart Racing avaliable.

The Third Age obviously was never meant to be made and was only created out of the previously rejected ideas from moronic EA executives. I am assuming of course, but this is the way that makes most sense and makes EA look best because how could anyone think this is a good idea? The ultra generic characters are so stupid you feel like punching them right in the face. But here is where EA has got you. Since the characters are in your TV you are helpless to stop them, only having the option of destroying your TV and/or disc. EA still gets the money, you still have the hate. I would say buy the games based on the books but they really suck, so you're sort of in a stalemate. I own Battle for Middle Earth and it's good but if you really hate EA, you could always just buy Midnight Club 3 instead of Need for Speed Underground 2?

My intense Splinter Cell Chaos Theory Review

http://tinyurl.com/8fcq3

That tiny url link will bring you to my Gamespot Splinter Cell 3 review. I touched down on the games great features as well as the AMAZING techincal problems. I mean were those technical problems deliberate? Like it's a new kind of game where you have to manually hack the game files to de-bug the bugs yourself? Or is it the developers lack of responsibility?

I also went into my elite hatred for Ubisoft. Check it out, it's long and boy, it's a doozey but if you like it, or like it as far as you read. Then recommend it and trust me but only if you want to.

P.S.

I like Splinter Cell, but I still hate Ubisoft.
