    ah yes, i clearly remember the internet imploding when kotaku posted the story about FF13 coming to the 360. that was the craziest amount of comments in kotakuland.


    ANd WTF, what about the article in which kojima talks about mgs4 not being to his vision? that was insane.

    @azn_nerdguy: Yes, it was. I was surprised of not seeing it here either. Given the fact that Kotaku kept bringing that article up again and again (no doubt to generate hits) I think we should count all comments together and give it an honorable mention.

    I have a feeling the gizmodo hack where tubgirl was stuck on the front page of kotaku for 5 hours is still the most commented article ever.

    "Surprise! The most popular involves nudity!"

    Really I could of sworn it was because of Wii Fit, who doesn't love Wii Fit. *leaves to do yoga*

    Have to agree with the praises the review system gets as well. I can only imagine how tempting and hard it not to put a numerical value on each and every game.


    What I liked most about it was/is it's not a chore to read. Read the bullet points and read the summary. That's it. Heck if there was a "big" game, IGN's review would normally consist of 4-5 pages of text. I'm ok with reading but sometimes it's a bit much.


    Any chance for video-reviews coming into the site? I would want to hear Owen and Luke banter on how a game sucks...While they're drunk! =D

    Jack the Thompson is DA KING! 3 out of 10 original headlines! Now that he's been disbarred, who will step up to the throne in 2009?

    If Glenn "We're training our kids to be killers" Beck can keep this kind of shit up, we're looking at a very serious contender for NOTY* 2009. You go, Glenn!

    @Reverend_MoJo: Well, Crecente does control what's said in the comments, to some extent. :p


    With that being said, Kenny's comment was funny, but in comparison to similar sites, Kotaku does a great job of keeping the conversation (both that posted on the site and that in the comments) generally intelligent/witty.
