Contra on the NES.

The FAQ on the Mass Effect 2 site states pretty clearly that it's currently only being developed for the 360 and PC. Even if it was eventually ported to PS3 it would likely take a year plus. There is zero chance of it being released anywhere near the announced street date for the other...

ITT: A lot of people that don't seem to know the Nobel prize isn't American and has nothing to do with his domestic policies... Seriously though, if you want to know why they awarded Obama the prize, why not read the announcement? They state their reasons pretty clearly. Unless this topic is...

Geez, that's not a particularly flattering pic of her up there.

It doesn't say he was on his death bed. Just that it was his dying wish, as in "if you could do one thing before you kicked off, what would it be?". It's not "how do you want to spend your final moments on this plane of existence?" If he was actually about to expire, it's probably unlikely he'd...

Right, so obviously StarCraft can reasonably be said to have stood the test of time.

PacMan Space Invaders Asteroids Half Life StarCraft Super Mario RPG Super Metroid Super Mario Bros 3 Super Mario World Final Fantasy VII and Tactics Monkey Island Diablo II TRON (even though it's easy once you know the patterns) Super Metroid Metal Slug The Legend of Zelda

Your best examples are games less than 10 years old? That's hardly a test of time. Hell, they still hold WC3 tournaments.

I'm still waiting for all of those 1999/Y2K apocalypse predictions to come true.

The Real World. Mostly because it is generally credited as being the progenitor of the current reality TV crapfest.

I loved it at the time, though I don't know if I'd have the patience to play through the entire game again. I definitely enjoyed it a lot more than any of the FF games since, with the possible exception of FF Tactics for the PSX. It's easy to look back at any 12 year old game and say the...

Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy XI, Parasite Eve, Fallout 2, MechWarrior 3, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead

The Last Stand survival map in Left 4 Dead. Back when survival mode was first released it was talked up pretty heavily as being nigh impossible, but myself and 3 friends got Gold on our 2nd try.

I have not pre-ordered, and will probably wait to buy the game. I enjoyed the first MW well enough, but its single-player campaign was too short, and everything that has been put out indicates MW2's campaign won't be any longer. The multiplayer isn't bad for a console FPS, so if you're stuck...

I'd got with KOTOR as well, but I think Sith Lords would have a strong contender if they'd actually finished development and released the complete game instead of cutting out a third of the content in order to make an earlier release date.
