Around the Crispy offices, we take the subject of videogames very seriously. How seriously? We argue over such topics as "Which is the greatest videogame console of all time?" (Answer: Super Nintendo Entertainment System; Runner-up: Sega Dreamcast). We fret over subjects like which Devil May Cry is the best (Answer: the third one), invisible walls (we hate them), and non-moving clouds in virtual skies (hate them, too).

We squabble. We debate. We threaten bodily harm. All of it in the name of delivering the sharpest, most poignant gaming coverage found anywhere.

But at the end of the day, we pinch ourselves -- and sometimes each other -- to remind us that this business of videogames is, at heart, still about having fun. Sometimes, with all the grandstanding and pontificating and soap-boxing that has of late become the norm in this business, it seems as if some of our colleagues -- and sometimes we ourselves -- forget that simple fact. When all is said and done, it's still entertainment. It's still about having a good time. And yes, there's no business like it we know.

To misquote a classic from Irving Berlin: "There's no people like videogame people! They smile when they are low! Even with a turkey like Fusion Frenzy 2 that you know will fold; You may be stranded out in the cold; Still you wouldn't trade it for a sack o' gold! Let's go on with the show! Let's go on with the show! The show! The show!"

Without further ado, here are our Unawards for 2008. Enjoy.

    wow, i had a really good point to make but halfway through this article (Ah, Good Old-Fashioned Cleavage Award) I forgot what it was. All I know is I feel warm and fuzzy.

    I usually skip the arguing and go straight to the threats

    I think it has just the right mix of comedy, truth and chicanry - and not because I contributed to it either.

    And I still heart you.

    Let me guess. You all finished up this 'piece' in the wee hours of the morning? You know, when everything is funny. Who forgot to re-read this before posting when you all woke up?
    I still love you though.

The Games That Time Forgot


The games we're pulling together in this feature won't appear on any of those best-of lists and get confused looks when you mention them in conversation. Just because time has forgotten these titles, though, doesn't mean you should forget them, too.
