Some innacuracies in the timeline, they said the PS2 was the first console released with greater graphics capabilities than a PC. This wasnt true then, and never will be true ever with any future consoles.They also said that Americas Army went on to be the #1 online action game, CS has always been #1."PBS knows how to put together a show about videogames and yet, G4 is teh suck." G4s show "Icons" is nothing but documentaries about video games, pretty good stuff too.
