Not that I agree with a lot of what it says, but it is fun to look at.

Ken Shima - Most Disappointing: Operation Flashpoint. Could have been more fun, but too many quirks with the sound, graphics clipping, and controls. An indication that U.S. sales were sluggish for this title: the game was released in the U.S. in August. OF: Gold Edition (with the fixes) was released in December.

I thought it was released in Europe in August... and the Gold Edition was the first release in the US. I personally give them bonus points for beta testing the game on Eurotrash.

As for the site.. most of it seemed to be uninformed and trendy. That's just the general feel I got.

I kinda got that feeling too AKDejaVu. I posted it here before I finished reading it... I just saw WW2 Online mentioned and I thought it might be interesting, but it kind of ended up disappointing me.

Bloom, I'm suprised you didn't mention the Nvidia motherboards? They seem to love em, if I recall, you were all that impressed with them? I've never seen one.

These guys are shooter-boys for sure. I don't think they'd know what to do with a joystick. A gamepad, yea. They called WW2OL for what it is/isn't pretty well.

I did mention the nVidia boards ... sort of. nVidia doesn't make motherboards, they make chipsets for motherboards. So far 2 manufacturers, soon 3, make boards based on the nForce chipset. (MSI - K7N420 Pro, Asus A7N266, and soon Abit. My pick would be the MSI board, as the Asus board does not take advantage of the top notch sound the nForce provides OR the ethernet controller built on. I don't know what the Abit board wil have.)
