Civilization's death knell

When IGN.com and the new KFC Snacker team up, weeping follows.

The fan-selected IGN/Snacker 100 greatest videogames of all time, it appears, was voted on by a disproportionate number of 5 year olds and blunt-trauma victims with no long term memory.

From a set consisting of all videogames ever created, John Madden Football 2005 is number 22. Meaning that, in the opinion of these mouth-breathers, an updated roster and minor gameplay changes make Madden 2k5 so much better than 2K4 as to essentially render the previous 30 years of videogame history a mere footnote toward the glorious genesis of this lumbering corporate regurgitate.

Everything up to now has been useless, with the exception of the latest Ratchet and Clank.

IGN is a sociological experiment masquerading as a videogame website. Their studious chronicling of America's videogame tastes has changed my opinion of eugenics.
