I think I'll just wait for the upcoming Carmageddon reboot. It's always been more my series anyway.
Haha, yes, I was just being a little silly with the Luddite side of my comment. It was "buzz texture mapping" or "bloom lighting".
Speaking of, I know one game I'll never see on a top ten list is the Wonderswan Guilty Gear.

But I'll find it on a top 20 list! [www.youtube.com]

Platform: Should be fairly obvious

Wonderswan?

Besides being funny and fun, Psychonauts is just more proof that aesthetics are much more important than polygon count and current buzz texture mapping.
So you played the tutorial level on PS2? Way to go, sport.
I declare a bad Sonic fanart-off.

Sanic counts.

Yeah, Tow was great. I wish they would release Half-Life 2: Episode Treeh.
That sounds just like one of my Japanese animes!

Etc.

Best part of the Mass Effect ban by the MDA. Thank you, Kotaku. This gift is eternal.
Well, yeah, obviously. If you have another way to run a swf file.
If you don't know the Demon, you're really missing out.
ones where band members died

To be fair: [en.wikipedia.org]

But not really. Some tribute bands are just because people want to see big names without paying 70 bucks a ticket, so they take the next best thing. Or, hey, some are gimmicky, too, like The Iron Maidens or that all midget KISS cover band.

This image is always there for me when I forget the "industry" in "game industry."
BUT THEN WHO IS BASH ON KOTAKU JAPAN!?

Maybe my whole life is a lie.

Popular amongst people in Japan and people who watch fansubs, I assume.

No, wait, after a cursory check, it's on Hulu and ANN. Huh.

You mean this one? With the magic castles and super wire of death? Right.
