The most hyped games indeed. Some of them were pretty good, and some of them really couldn't be worse :/

i beg to differ. red alert has never been serious. its like the scary movie of games. while the tiberium universe offers potential beyond EA's wildest dreams. the way Nod worships tiberium, and the way GDI loathes yet requires it... the biblical references... the Mammoth series... the atmosphere... its simply far superior.

IMO, RB2 is a little too realistic. Hey, you must be only half a ms off the note inorder to play it, I wonder if the best guitarists in the world can do that good

Obviously a game made by Blizzard, that has 11+ million active subscribers and holds a sales record (Burning Crusade - 2.4m back in 2007, WotLK - 2.8m) in 24 hours is an uber crap? Don't think so.

Somehow i get a feeling that most WoW haters never even played it or played it for a week and quite, without leveling even 1 char to the max level to actually explore high-end PvE and PvP content Blizzard constantly developing.

It is a great expansion which improved and added to the already proven great formula.

You got a point, but I've played it and was extremely bord. Then again, I'm not a fan of most role-playing games anyways, because it eventually takes no skill. Whoever has the best weapon/spell wins, and when they are equal, well, whoever can hit a few buttons faster.

MMOs are a different story when it comes to games, your right. The most popular mmo, which people who like those sort of games, should try out WoW. But, as for the greatest games of all time, WoW would only win for an MMO award, and IMO, should not be considered the best game of all time, but differently in the top 10 (just saying when they ranked it #1).

Remember, popularity doesn't mean it is a great game, or Halo would be considered one of the greatest games of all time and be put above Half-Life. If that ever happens, my head might xPl0de....

Just don't be off and you're set. I love playing Songs like Visions and Panic Attack on drums expert. Fun as hell if you know how to play the songs.
