Levine picks his top five games News

PC PlayStation 2 Xbox Xbox 360 PlayStation 3
News by Robert Purchese

7 April, 2008

BioShock creator Ken Levine has revealed his top five games of all time, admitting he spends rather too much time playing one of them: World of Warcraft.

"I don't want to ever make the mistake of typing /played again," Levine told MSNBC, while looking like Luke Wilson. "You know how in the movies when the father comes home, and he puts on his slippers and drinks a glass of scotch? Well, that's [World of Warcraft] to me.

"I boot it up every day. Sometimes for a few minutes. Usually more. It's my always-reliable secret shame."

Levine put Blizzard's creation up alongside Civilization IV, Beyond Good and Evil, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Heroes of Might and Magic on 3DO as his favourite games.

They all sound like good choices to us. Apart from the ones we don't agree with.

The only one I have played in his list is Zelda, which I didn't really like.

Ho hum.

Seem pretty much as good as most of these other 'top 5' lists to me. A man with good taste, that Ken ;-)

I like Beyond Good & Evil - about time someone did a sequel.

I agree with WoW, BG&E and LttP but why on earth do we care what this guy thinks about his top 5?

Why doesn't he do a sequel to BG&E while Michel Ancel works on the rabbit minigames?

@ Dezm0nd

Because he created System Shock 2, which would be in a large number of other people's Top 5s?

So what if he has spent ages on his /played time on WoW? By the time people die they must have spent ages on the bog, scratching thier behinds etc. Time is there to be spent ;)

Well you may not care but enough people do. Unfortunately I have to remind you that this is planet Earth, not planet Dezm0nd. Sorry.

I think its your use of the word "we" that is maybe out of place then :) "You" don't care, but "we" [some of us] do.... a bit.

On the subject of BG&E, it seriously needs a sequel but I doubt it will ever happen. Shame.

@louyfitz re: "what a pile of shit, worst games ever."

Can I quote you on that? Because that's zero credibility from now on if you truly believe that. What a fucking preposterous statement! I only play one of them myself (Civ 4), but I can recognise that other people really like the others, because they're top games- if not exactly my kinda thang.

But if you really think these are the "worst games ever" your opinion is so utterly worthless it's practically untrue, and anything you post from now on will be ignored like the ill-informed fuck-wittery it undoubtedly will turn out to be.

Or you could, you know, belt the fuck up, and post something with an ounce of thought behind it...



Edit: (took out the unfounded personal slur. Left the rest in though ;))

I think he was joking. Otherwise he's clearly insane and we should pay no attention to him.
