I am one more Duke Nukem Forever away from putting a bullet in Wired's annual Vaporware awards.

The never finished game has made the list six times and frankly I don't think it deserves to be considered in development. We get the point already, the game is vaporware, get on with it and use the slot it takes up (number one on the list this time around) for something that everyone doesn't already know about.

The rest of the games included on the list seem a bit shaky too. You've got Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl, a nuclear first-person shooter first previewed in 2001, last updated to hit next year. Then there's the always Gran Turismo 4 Mobile, a portable version of a game that is perpetually delayed and Spore... not really sure why this is here. While the game has been pushed back once, it's not big enough of a push to be considered vaporware, that and EA's been promoting the hell out of it.

What games do you think should have made the list? Brian Crecente
