  • jboitnott, on 11/12/2009, -0/+36Dugg for this article letting me pretend that a game called ZONE OF POWER actually exists.
  • LetsGoToClass, on 11/13/2009, -0/+25I always drove really fast at teammates and bailed at the last second. The jeep would keep on its crash course and run them over, killing them and registering the death as a suicide. Then I would masturbate and feel lonely...

  • MrFisty, on 11/13/2009, -0/+19I'd play REVENGE OF PEACE.
  • bixby1, on 11/12/2009, -0/+18It's always important to have a good "science enthusiast" on your squad
  • DrKillaphus, on 11/13/2009, -0/+16Dugg for Blow Job Magazine
  • NathanLands, on 11/12/2009, -0/+15It's amazing how many best games ever come out every month. The game industry is really kicking ass...
  • MassoukenBomb, on 11/12/2009, -0/+15My favorite cliché is the guy who dies in the first cutscene.
  • sexbobomb, on 11/13/2009, -0/+14I'm personally looking forward to GUNS OF BLOOD. There is no way that game would not be good.
  • McGrude, on 11/13/2009, -0/+12You forgot

    Army of Two

  • burketo, on 11/13/2009, -0/+9For me it's all about WAR OF WAR.
  • Frankzulla, on 11/12/2009, -1/+10Haha this is spot on. Beautiful.
  • LBUCHA, on 11/12/2009, -0/+8i wish i was THAT science enthusiast
  • casspa, on 11/12/2009, -2/+10Yeah, there's an app for that.
  • reticulate, on 11/13/2009, -1/+8To be fair, Company of Heroes is an RTS, and probably one of the greatest ever.
  • Julie188, on 11/12/2009, -0/+7Dugg for the awesome graphic.
  • MarineOnDope, on 11/13/2009, -0/+6I've got the best game idea ever... okay... it's set in WWII, but instead of Nazis, you are fighting Somali Terrorists, and instead of playing some private in the army, you're A BIO-ENGINEERED SPACE MARINE COMMISSIONED BY DELTA FORCE TO DESTROY THE SOVIET CONSPIRACY!

    Also, the game will feature unskippable cut scenes and every mission will be a timed underwater escort mission.
  • sexbobomb, on 11/13/2009, -0/+6Clearly the key to naming a game is to make it sound like a straight-to-video Steven Segal movie.
  • fuzzynyanko, on 11/13/2009, -0/+5It's getting to where I can spot the red shirt, who just happens to appear in the first 5 minutes of the game and die 2-3 minutes later
  • FattyMagee, on 11/13/2009, -1/+6My favorite was to place explosives in a jeep and drive the jeep to a spawn point. Then get out and when your teammates jumped in and headed off, press the plunger. I could do that for hours.
  • ryanfaith88, on 11/13/2009, -0/+5I really wanna play ZONE OF PEACE

    wait...
  • sciencelovesyou, on 11/13/2009, -0/+5Call of Juarez is about cowboys and lost gold. Oh, and Gul Dukat.

  • Treshnell, on 11/13/2009, -0/+5..Army?
  • AdmiralAcbar, on 11/13/2009, -0/+4GEARS OF TWO.
  • daEvan, on 11/13/2009, -0/+4Ha of lo
  • scarlettletter, on 11/12/2009, -2/+6I'm guessing you should have the words World..... and Warcraft in there somewhere for marketing purposes!
  • vpotok, on 11/13/2009, -0/+4don't be sad little buddy... come on, lets go for a jeep ride down this bridge. I promise you'll love the scenery.
  • thebreach, on 11/13/2009, -0/+4Still waiting for Siblings in Armed Combat: Siege of Iron Fate

    Honestly if I see another WWII based game I will have a hernia. Enough already, please. We get it. WWII is ***** awesome to pretend you are part of. Now how about a good game based around a different war, and yes there were actually other wars that took place that were just as insane to make a game franchise out of.
  • Shadic, on 11/13/2009, -0/+41) Burly man with gun.
    2) Lots of brown.
  • vpotok, on 11/13/2009, -0/+3nothing like joining the nazi side in BF 1942 and driving them off bridges, crashing planes, etc... Those were the good old days.
  • Dr3w, on 11/13/2009, -1/+4PSSHHH. Just bomb digg with ads and you're set!
  • Doonce, on 11/13/2009, -0/+3I already preordered that.
  • LetsGoToClass, on 11/13/2009, -2/+5War games were only cool when you could get away with teamkills. Now it's all a bunch of pussy *****.
  • mattyboy555, on 11/13/2009, -0/+32!
  • mattyboy555, on 11/13/2009, -0/+3WAR OF PEACE!!
  • jaydog3199, on 11/13/2009, -0/+3ZONE: OF MANKIND
  • sTiKyt, on 11/13/2009, -0/+3It's always the one with the crappy quality model.
  • Antz0rz, on 11/13/2009, -0/+2Why hasnt dragon age shown up yet?! OH WAIT.
  • dirtylaundry101, on 11/13/2009, -0/+2Another marketing gimmick: Release multiple versions of the game even though they're all basically the same but just have different covers and packaging.
  • reticulate, on 11/13/2009, -1/+3The joy of griefing in the Battlefield games still rates as some of the greatest seen.

    So many different ways to piss people off, so little time.
  • jander86, on 11/13/2009, -0/+2I'm surprised no one has claimed "Battle Hymn of the Republic".
  • vpshockwave, on 11/13/2009, -0/+2I'm not really defending jshhmr's trolling, but if you're saying that every failure (or even a large portion of them) was because of mistreating the console, you need to go back and re-read the numbers.
  • LostOverThere, on 11/13/2009, -0/+2REVENGE of VENGEANCE

    What, what?
  • Antz0rz, on 11/13/2009, -1/+3Oh go ahead, bury 80% of the things on digg then.
  • b3owulf, on 11/13/2009, -0/+2Soldier of Fortune
  • flyinfoofighter, on 11/13/2009, -1/+3Call of Duty has always put Halo to shame.
  • gameboyhippo, on 11/13/2009, -0/+1Uh... I own all consoles. The PS3 is much better than the 360. None of this $200 a year for a family of four to play online. Better integrates with MythTV. Does Netflix at no extra charge. Not much of a game console, though (but neither is the 360).

    If you want fun games, get a DS. If you want a media center get a PS3. If you want boring 3rd party crap, get whatever.
  • TaccyP, on 11/13/2009, -0/+1Brilliant article.
