Arcades are dying. Sad but true. I remember the glory days of bags full of quarters and sweaty nerds gathered around a screen, waiting in line for their turn to stump the champ. I wasn't a beast at arcades, I actually kind of sucked. But having skill was only part of the experience. The other part is just being there and feeling the excitement. In these days LAN parties have taken the place of that feeling of being in an arcade but it just isn't the same.

I haven't touched a Perfect Dark game since then in fear of my eyes exploding in my head.

"It's a shame when a supposedly inferior studio like Treyarch develops a better multiplayer experience than the creator of the series."

Ouch....

$1000 for a PC? If it costs you that much then you're doing it wrong.

Most people who want to play PC games are just going to upgrade and not totally build a new PC.

Assuming you already have: monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, crap computer.
GPU: nVidia 9800 GT = $120
RAM: 2Gb DDR3 = $50-$100
Processor: AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core 6000+ @ 3.0 Ghz (more than enough for most games)= $100
Memory: 250Gb = $50

I pretty much just upgrad...

Torchlight should have been on there. Actually there were a lot of sleeper hits on PC this year. Most of the media focuses on consoles though.. shame really.

I have been playing Plants vs. Zombies, Shattered Horizon, and AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! A Reckless Disregard for Gravity a lot lately. Those deserve more praise than people give it.

Why so soon? 2 isn't even released yet.

Stem has had achievements for a while and I'm pretty sure TF2 was one of the games that started tracking achievement progress.

Oh please.. come back when you have HD screenshot comparisons and not this 720p crap.

[EDIT] I mean true HD. 1080p.. 720p is barely HD (Wii)

[EDIT] Holy crap you're right. nvm then. Haha just checked my Wii settings. But still. I want to see 1080p screens.

@ SuperM
I don't play games at 1080p. I play games at 1920x1200. My perception of good graphics might be different from yours.

Devs make the tool so people can run those dedicated servers...

Steam: Go into the tools tab you will see a list of things. Those are the tools that the devs made so that people can host dedicated servers. It doesn't cost them any money to host but to support it they would have to invest time and resources(which they could be using for something else).

If you're playing online with that low of a number of people then I see no reason to have dedi's. Dedi's are used for massive amounts of gamers playing in the same server (18, 32, 64, etc.) and Ubisoft would be wasting time and money by making the tools for dedicated servers for a game of 4.

I'm all for dedicated servers but in some cases, it's better for the developers to use their time wisely (IE polishing the experience) and not worry about stuff like multiplayer if their game...

OMG man epic. Props to GTA: San Andreas for being the ONLY non Nintendo thing on that list.

Wii Play. Nintendo = genius. Packing a game with CONTROLLER.

FTW. Maybe we can even record something else to take the place of snakes and plane.

Almost passed out after 8 shots....

Still, 126Gb is definitely a lot for an iPod Touch.

TF2 deserves it. Personally I think Half Life and Half Life 2 should trade places but that's just me. HL2 was great but the original revolutionized FPS story telling.

I also think System Shock 2 deserves to be put up a little higher. I'm surprised they put GTAIV in the top 15 because that game was so bug ridden and ugly. It's ok on the consoles but on PC it was a mess.
