Good afternoon. It has been a while since my eyes managed to spy another videogame-based list for a gander. That was until I saw this;



Hey, a semi-laddish technology magazine will get your attention if it has GAMING in BOLD BLUE LETTERS on the front. I also spotted the '20 Best Games Ever' tag on the cover (its just under the rather hyped subtitle 'Onlive kills the console'. I highly doubt that). Of course, you must think I'm a complete sad act for mentioning all this ahead of the hot model pictured. Well, I have a reason for that, and it is not because this model isn't the best-looking I've seen out of others. Oh no. The exact cause for relegating her importance is because of the PS Move controller in her hand. To the knowledgable, it is Sony's effort to grab some of Nintendo's market share in motion-control, fitted into a gun controller. If you didn't know anything about this, it is just going to look like some woman trying to look sexy with a toy gun. With a ping-pong ball on the end.



See? It doesn't look anything near hot. It just says 'I must pose with this as if it is a real gun'. If it looked like a real gun, the combination of smouldering lass and self-defence device might have set an explosion off in my pants, but not so. I may, however, have a better idea to improve the image...



...on second thoughts, let's get back to the list. One, two, three...













This list seems pretty good, thankfully. Certain decisions, like Sensible World of Soccer's inclusion ahead of the more recent FIFA and Pro Evolution series, as well as Beatles Rock Band over any of the Guitar Hero games, get reasons to go along with them. Final Fantasy VII's inclusion is, once again, mostly down to Europe having been passed over for the sixth game in the series until the Playstation generation. Red Dead Redemption stands above the highest-placed GTA game and... well, there really isn't that much to complain about. I guess that's the advantage of picking only twenty games for the list.

So, is there anything about the list that you take issue with? Is Flight Control really that good? Feel free to comment below. And remember; don't let your girlfriend take a photo of herself with some day-glo Fisher Price laser blaster. She'll just look stupid and your boner will disappear.

You sir are clearly not "the knowledgable", or have some issues with logic and the art of observation...

Sony is not trying to "grab Nintendo's market" because Nintendo's Market don't play games like Socom, MAG, Resident Evil, The Fight, RUSE or Gran Turismo, sure there are SOME casual games in there, but who doesn't love a little casual action in your awesome hardcore lineup?

The basic form factor of "something you hold in your hand which tells the console where it is" (hell without Motion plus the wiimote only tells the Wii which direction and how fast it's moving in) is ALL the Wiimote and the Move stick have in common.

(that is unless you can't see past the fact that "It's something in your hand, just like the Wii hurp durp")

That "ping pong ball" on the end is akin to one of the little balls people wear on their bodies while doing motion capture for films. It's not there to look pretty it's not there to light up in a colour relative to the game, it's there to show the camera EXACTLY where you're hand is in the 3D space.

It lights up so that it can be the optimum colour for the surroundings you're playing in, so that it doesn't struggle with "won't work properly if your wearing black" type bullshit Kinect users are reporting.

Also, she is pretty hawt, Move gun in hand or not.

(I'm so getting that move gun)
Oh I do so get annoyed when they use a pretty girl to sell some aspect of video games. My cock and my consoles are two separate things and I plan to keep them that way.
@ Occams;

Phew. No console-fetish there, then. ;O)

@ Sexualchocolate;

Point taken regarding the games. You're right, Sony do have a big advantage with that. Also, I stand corrected; Sony's Move isn't motion-control based as I thought and I now understand how differently that controller works (thanks to your comment). I haven't really been bothered to follow news of Move even when it was announced, so that was the main reason for my ignorance.

Btw, if I ever get that Move gun, I'm tempted to paint it black or something.
Move gun does look kinda cool to use... but yeah, I won't be posing with it in my Victoria's Secret undies and posting pics of myself on the web with it! :)

... though I can't speak for my husband. He may get the urge to post sexy pics of him in his boxers posing with the gun...
I'm so gonna be posing in some silkies with that gun.

Elsa, if we play MAG after the Move launch/update, you can rest assured (and have a nice mental image) that I'll be playing in my boxers posing in between rounds, wearing only my boxers and headset, telling people for the millionth time that we don't get English Muffins in England!

@Batthink - Impressed and kinda surprised at your mature response. But but but, i was hoping for an argument?!
@ Sexualchocolate;

No way. You were right, and (as far as I can tell) I'm not really into fanboy-style behaviour.
