Hmm this survey shows Sega and Microsoft are winners over in the UK.
No, this survey shows that 3500 people are fucktards over in the UK. That, or Dr. Who was actually a documentary and a surprising number (like, say... 3500) of British people are time travellers from the future.
Shoot-em-up Halo 2 was voted the best console game of all time, ahead of 18-rated GTA Vice City and Tomb Raider.
I also find it amusing that The Sun writes this information as if a wholesome game won out over two 18+-rated games when Halo 2 is sure to get that rating when it's released, because the sequel to a game with an "M" rating from the ESRB is sure to be gorier and darker than the first one, rather than tamer. And doesn't Halo already have an 18+ all on its own in the UK?
Gotta agree with that. Halo 2 comes nowhere near as close as Vice City,Kingdom Hearts,FFX,Soul Calibur 2,e.t.c

Wait, is there some way to get Halo 2 early or am I just missing something here?

Axl Low, Billy Kane and Dudely? No way!
Oh and Lara Croft has sucked since day 1.
Axl Low- He's the bastard love child of Jay and Billy Kane, and as hot as that mental image is his weapons is also the worse in the game unless I missed the super secret trick to make it hit people and not suck.
Billy Kane- He's always been the lamest member on his team, granted his team mates have been Iori (when he was brand new so still interesting), Eiji, Blue Mary, and Yamazaki, so that's like saying "he's the poorest billionare"... but still
Dudley-Oooooooooh! A boxer! Sure it's same damn style used by Mike Bison, Vanessa, Heavy D, everyone in Punch Out, whatever the Hell Nina William's son name is, me when I play that cool Boxing game with the motion sensors at the arcade, and any other Mike Tyson rip-off... but he's got a bow tie and a car!!!! let's throw a parade!!

I have to say that I like Sonic, but he is nowhere near the top of my list. That spot is reserved for the likes of Mario, Link, Simon Belmont, Rockman, and many, many other characters that I played as in videogames as a child. And my favorite fighting game characters (Ibuki, Terry, Blue Mary, Ken, Iori, etc.) all come before Sonic on my list. And also most Final Fantasy characters.....I think you catch my drift. Yeah, their choices on best game weren't too hot. Heh. Maybe I just take my gaming too seriously.

Bah, according to theTim Rogers Cold Fifty , Lara Croft should be 1 on some sorta of list. I don't know what kinda of a list, but it's a list so that's good enough for me.
And in the end, isn't it that the most important thing? The answer is...no...
Wow, I'm reading through the list and have noticed two mistakes so far. First of all, isn't Irene in Ninja Gaiden Irene Lew and not Irene Louis? Secondly, Protoman was NOT introduced in Megaman X2. Oh my gosh, this dude doesn't know the difference between Protoman/Blues and Zero. Protoman came way before Megaman X2. And he even has a picture of Protoman up there for the talk about the character, when the character he describes and talks about is Zero...
EDIT: Ok, Irene is actually on the list 3 times, the other two times as Irene Lew and Irene Lewis. Goemon is on the list twice and I think some other characters are two. Unless this was intentional (and I don't get that feeling) these guys are dumb.

You're just looking at it through your sad, military-industrial complex rose-colored glasses. You're not postmodern enough in the yin-yang to understand Insert Credit. By their standards of offbeatnikness, you're just, like... mundane, man. You're a square. You're a square peg in a classical rhombus hole that's just not getting the new paradigm of the third gaming millenium. Like Viewtiful Joe, you just haven't come to terms with the fact that you're an 'attempt' at a postmodern human being. I say 'attempt' because you're not completely successful.
But seriously, and I don't mean to be insulting when I say this, the level of comprehension that I reach when reading most Insert Credit articles is basically a few seconds of vacant head-nodding and an unspoken "WTF was that?" sort of feeling. He was obviously being sarcastic and joking around for most of the article, but some descriptions of the characters were flawless (except for the jokes) and others got the oddest little things wrong or just didn't make sense. I guess it would be sort of amusing to just completely switch Protoman and Zero around and make a joke about Capcom's originality, but neither character was introduced in Megaman X2 and there weren't any secret characters in Megaman X3 that were unlocked by codes.
The bit about Irvine was pretty funny, though. But then again, making a joke about the rift between the story of an RPG and the actual nature of its gameplay is about as difficult as making jokes about airline food and men leaving the toilet seat up.

Well here's one blatant factual error.
"Recently, the developers of Tomb Raider had their franchise yanked out from under them due to less-than-stellar sales. The reason? The latest movie -- The Cradle of Life -- didn't do so well."
It's actuallythe other way around, but then again... the reason they got the franchise taken away from them is because the game didn't sell. And why didn't the game sell? I'd say it's because it was a piss-poor attempt to reinvent the franchise.
Of course, you only get such massive errors in the most prominent part of a feature when your gaming ego is so goddamn bloated you consider yourself infallible and don't bother with fact checking. Which can only be good for membership!
