is that list on their website? Seems odd... I mean Mario Galaxy had an average of 97. Unless its user votes then it was 91

I'd say Mario Galaxy wasn't on there because it was released in 2007. This is a 2008 list. ;)

no L4D tsk tsk tsk.

America got a black president.

And some other things.

It's strange how I've never heard of any of the games that made the top 10 worst. How badly can you **** up 'Woman's Volleyball Championship'? :roll:

Bioshock kinda cheated to get in there I reckon. Just because the PS3 version has some "additional features" doesn't make it qualify for a spot in the top 10 I don't think. The original waz released in 2007 after all.

GTA IV? I mean, i enjoyed it, but it's definately not #1 material.
Imo MGS4 shat all over it.

good to see world of goo up there
