World Famous WotR Top Fives

ELY'S

Top 5...

Games that have stopped me going to bed

1. SWOS
2. Gran Turismo
3. Burnout 2 - Crash Mode
4. Super Monkey Ball - Billiards
5. SWOS

Argue-the-toss here

(WotR top fives are nothing more than the wrong opinion of the clueless twonk whose name appears at the top of the article. Ely, for example has included one game twice - could be an error, could be a terribly clever wheeze. Who knows?)

 

 

BOO!!

Well…

Halloween. It might be a twee, over-sugared, Americanified celebration of non-threatening, dress-up spookiness, but it annoys the fuck out of earnest Christians, so yeah. It's okay by us.


”Haha. Yes. Excellent costume. Let me just go and get you some Kit-Kat Kubes…”

WooOoooOOOooo!

This week, in between unfeasibly long sessions of Gradius V , PES4 and The Sims 2 , we've been compiling a feature about spookiness in games. Please read it and mock-startle obligingly in places. And then look at the Bonus Stage images. Or we'll kill you very slowly.

In other news, DIO fetches up a quaint tale of gaming competitiveness back in the mists of 1985, PAULEMOZ desperately clings to a spook-theme with a review of Fatal Frame 2. Oh, and despite having had about forty minutes' sleep in the last week (see last issue), SICKBOY explains why Kung-Fu Master is ace.

Contentulations…

Set fire to what is dear to you and then pour some Original Videogaming Spirit onto the flames, while laughing. Ideally.

Scary Games. Curtains drawn, lights off, absinthe on. RODENTIA

Sherlock Holmes Thing. When losing feels good. DIO

Kung Fu Master. It's great. You're wrong. I'm right. SICKBOY

Fatal Frame 2. My camera-ra-RA. PAULEMOZ

Image Of The Week. Shivers and shakes. RODENTIA

Right, before I have to get the next nappy change done I'd just like to mention our new best friends at www.rongtones.tv - can't explain just go and preview their ringtones. Utterly, utterly wonderful hatstand silliness.

And finally…

Mr Pharmacist

In your usual lovely way

The Fall – Mr Pharmacist

“This is on Shit Catapult Records which is such a great name for a record label. I always like finding stuff on that label so that we can play it and I can say, ‘That's a track from Shit Catapult.'”

John Peel, 1939 – 2004
