I wasn't aware that all it took to troll was making poor claims. I thought there had to be some kind of malice involved.
In the meantime... I'm disappointed at how few of the games on these lists I've played. ::(:

I personally think Diablo 2 is right up there with Street Fighter 2 in terms of its Actual Quality to Dudes Telling You It Is the Best Shit Ever ratio.

I agree with this statement but not with the implied sentiment.

Unless you actually were saying they were worth the hype, then yes.

No, but somehow I still manage to play my Wii! I guess somebody made a mistake and released a lot of games that aren't related to the Wii Fit!

EDIT:
Yeah, I stupidly enjoy the dogfighting minigame.

To be fair theres some fun Wii games. Muramasa, Madworld, No More Heroes. I mean, none of these games are must play and both Madworld and NMH has some repetitive flaws, but they are legit good games. NSMBW is pretty damn good (but nintendo games tend to be, unless it's more first party shovelware). TvC is coming out for fighter fags like me and Envy (even though i am so not buying it).

It's not a worthless system, it's just like every nintendo system since the N64. Only difference is TONS of games are coming out for it (mostly bad) and nintendo is making an assload of money. But the rate of good games seems to be consistent with post snes history.

This year is going to bring us Monster Hunter 3, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M, among others. Rune Factory Frontier is also good if you're into that sort of thing, and it's much better than both of the DS Rune Factory games (the two that are out in the US, that is).

The Wii has an abnormal level of shovelware, but you should just take comfort that it's proving that shovelware does not deny good games from existing on the console. I'd say the Wii has a reasonable number of games unless you game at an accelerated pace.

For some reason I decided to compile one of the most boring, non-offensive, popularist and uninteresting "Game of the Year" lists ever.  Prepare for a total lack of surprises, except near the end where it becomes apparent that deciding "Game of the Year" days after the year is out is a dumb thing to do anyway.

2000   Diablo II
2001   Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
2002   Metroid Prime
2003   Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
2004   Half-Life 2
2005   Resident Evil 4
2006   The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
2007   The Orange Box
2008   BioShock
2009   Street Fighter IV

I think later I'll try to come up with my actual favorites rather than "oh this game was really popular that year".

EDIT: And here we go:

2000   Diablo II
2001   Serious Sam: The First Encounter
2002   Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
2003   Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
2004   Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
2005   Dynasty Warriors 5
2006   The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
2007   The Orange Box
2008   Super Smash Bros. Brawl
2009   Batman: Arkham Asylum

Kind of pissed that I wasn't able to put "Borderlands" for 2009 in the end.  :(

I think they're both okay games for when they were released, but there are so many MANY better games in their respective genres now (okay, maybe in the fighting game genre, but not so much the rapid mouse button clicking genre that D2 is in) that I feel that dudes who suggest that they're still the hottest shit ever are dumb dinosaur levels of retarded.

I don't know why people put Bioshock and Mass Effect down for 2008 when they were both released in 2007, this isn't that hard to check people.
