The boys of Penny-Arcade have taken the torch of my crusade against GameSpy's horrid list (a list so bad that it makes David Letterman's Top 10 look brilliant) right to the butt of GameSpy and lit them on fire. I look forward to every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to read what Tycho and Gabe have to say about an industry I love very much. It almost makes me and my teensy little site feel relevant to know that they think the very same about GameSpy's "expose" that I do. Tycho put his finger right on the heart of the matter:
You can go look at it if you want, I'm certainly not putting a link to it here - suffice it to say, where it is obvious it is obvious, and where they attempt to be brash and iconoclastic it's just insulting.Amen. Any gamer that didn't expect to see Daikatana and Black & White in the Top 5 haven't played a video game since Pong. But any gamer that expected to see beloved games like Final Fantasy VII, Donkey Kong Country, and Halo in the list needs to have their spark plugs replaced because they're obviously not firing correctly.
