<a href=http://www.ugo.com>UGO</a> posted a <a href=http://www.ugo.com/channels/features/2003/games.asp>list</a> of "games that didn't suck in 2003". Only 3 PC games made the list: Deus Ex:IW, Call of Duty, and KOTOR.

<blockquote>Of course, it's no surprise that a company like Bioware could pull off a great RPG - they've done it before. But with KOTOR, they took stat-based gameplay and wrapped it up in a dazzling visual package that did the next-gen Xbox - on which it first appeared - proud. They also implemented a real-time system that had numbers being crunched under the hood, but that ran smoothly, at times looking almost like a third-person action game. Driving it was an elegant interface that provided an impressive degree of control, allowing the player to queue commands and pull off great combat maneuvers. On top of it all was a compelling Star Wars story, set 1,000 years before the first movies, that allowed the player to solve problems in a number of ways and choose to follow a Dark or Light Path. End result: Lightsaber-swinging goodness all around, and one of the best games released on any platform all year.</blockquote>

Elegant interface? 1,000 years? It's always fun to listen to people who have no idea what they are talking about, which is, unfortunately, a trademark of the gaming media

I think someone should send them a suggestion and attack a big "YOU SUCK" message on it. Or better yet, send them a link to that site that spawns infinite "you are an idiot" pop-ups.

I think we can dismiss anything UGO might have to say right away given that one of their picks for movies that didn't suck was Matrix Revolutions.

I didn't check the movies section, but yeah, Matrix 3 was the biggest disappointment of the year and the lamest movie I've seen in awhile. It clearly shows that Wachowski brothers had no clue what to do with the movie, and it looks like they stole the idea for the first one from the Otherland, imo.

Coulda told you Matric Revolutions would suck. Heck, the original Matrix sucked and was overrated big time. I didn't watch the first sequel so bleh.

You know, I went to UGO a loooooooong time ago for the first time. I remember reading some article.... or maybe it was a review.... fuck, I can't recall, it's been so long ago. Anyways, I remember I was so disgusted by what I read that I never ever went back to that site. Still haven't.
