HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THIS IS BASED ON GAMES THIS YEAR
TUROK WAS 08
CONDEMNED 2 WAS 08
GEARS 2 WAS 08
MGS4 WAS 08
WRATH OF THE LICH KING WAS 08

Sorry, but FF8 WAS 1999, HALO 3 WAS 07.

You could argue Kratos, since Chains of Olympus was released this year.

note how all the games are sequels

uh doomguy

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

Heh, those 5 pussies you posted on top, Kratos will slit their throat and bath in their blood, then promptly proceed to fuck 2 hot chicks at once (and then tellt hem to fuck off)

much like true everydayt life of gutts, pimp king of malibu

no, not all games are created equal. some games are wrought by virtuosity, a desperate look in the eyes of a tile savant, the hand of god at work in the map editor, the grid a living reflection of reality as he breathes the sigh of creation into his twisted, vibrant dream

To be honest, there is such a major lack of new IPs for action games and FPS' these days, which is such a shame... Personally, the only new IPs this year that are in that sort of catagory are Dead Space and Left4Dead.

dude that doesn't matter, then just don't make it the top 5 of the year if there weren't 5 new characters.

What should have stopped you was the fact that absolutley nobody will care about this by this time next year.

That is unless of course, you have already made this top 5 for 2007, 2006, etc, and intend to continue it forward for 2009, 2010 etc. That way, anyone could track the upmost manly factor as the years in game design pass from one generation to the next. (For one thing, if one of those guys from a sequel made the top 5 this year, while not making top 5 last year for the original, then it would be a serious issue. Because it would mean that there was an even more manly guy that didn't get a sequel this year!)

yeah. don't know why you bothered making such a horrible fucking article. i mean. fuck. why even bother living if you're not going to attempt to chronicle the evolution of masculinity in video games. what a fucking waste this was.

will reconsider this post if you make one for every year since pong first came out. please begin each article by crediting me with the idea. thanks.

Okay, let's chronicle the masculinity of people in games, then. :P
Okay, here's the deal, next year I will continue this... Maybe with nominations, even, next year? I think that would be quite good

Yeah, I loved San Andreas, but it was just such a black game. :x Like. Eh, I dunno, it was all so frickin' black, and I enjoyed the atmosphere of Vice City more.
