IT hurtses meesss presshusss 

I remember playing a couple of the reader rabbit games as a kid, I remember preferring Blinky bill myself "you just went up a level" ah good times...

To be honest, I've never even heard of Reader Rabbit- is it more of a US thing? As for the article, they appear to have removed the dozens of scathing comments that I saw on it last week.

This

Yes, a game that had years of updates as opposed to a game that has been out for months will always be better!

::rolls eyes::

I think Starcraft II is already better than Starcraft in every catagory, especially since it's more or less an expansion pack ( and that's not a knock on it, it's a really good expansion pack).  And when the Protoss campaign finally releases, the game will be about as near to perfect as possible.

I really hope once the Protoss campaign releases they will let the missing units like firebats be in multiplayer. 

Out of all those games. I only like these.

24.The Witcher 

19.Diablo II 

1.Half Life 2 (and I don't even like this one that much)

Left 4 Dead hahahhahah
