The Year in Media Corrections:
"A Nov. 26 article in the District edition of Local Living incorrectly said a Public Enemy song declared 9/11 a joke. The song refers to 911, the emergency phone number."

Top 50 Video games of the Decade:
http://www.destructoid.com/the-top-50-videogames-of-the-decade-10-1--155591.phtml
Here are my personal favourites for the decade
10) Diablo 2
9) Resident Evil 4
8) Left 4 Dead
7) Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
6) The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion
5) Company of Heroes
4) Rome: Total War
3) Half Life 2
2) S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl
1) Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Here be games that should have been included if I was a proper games reviewer and trying to make a list that was fair and balanced (i.e. not just a list of my favourite games):
Portal
Crysis
World of Warcraft
Deus Ex
Team Fortress 2
I say again, that destructoid.com list is horrendously bad.

I mean take 3 for example, you play less than 2 minutes of the game before a 20 minute cut scene ensues. 4 is almost entirely cut scenes with less gameplay than video. I might well put MGS2 in my top 50 I guess, but it's too damn annoying to consider for top 10.

Was it any good?
