The Time article from that site makes me

Civ4 is one of Times top picks of the year thumbsup:[/b]) along with 50 cent: bulletproofthumbsdown:[/b]) and Nintendogs confused:[/b])

May 30, 2005
The annual E3 convention is the place to demo upcoming game software. Here are TIME's top picks

CIVILIZATION IV

Religion has a starring role in Sid Meier's latest (for PC), in which you try to convert your neighbors--or rip them to pieces in bloody, crusading wars

50 CENT: BULLETPROOF

You play a gun-toting rapper protecting the hood and rescuing your homies (for PlayStation 2 and Xbox). It makes Grand Theft Auto seem like Pong

NINTENDOGS

Game designer Shigeru Miyamoto, known for his cute characters, delivers the Holy Grail of cute: pick a puppy from the virtual pound and teach it endless tricks

 

[faZZter]

Don't forget C & C and Red ALert....two of my all time faves.......

 

[Tab]

* OFFICIAL LIST * - Games you MUST own!

Battlezone (Too bad the second one flopped )
Rome: Total War (Very cool)
No One Lives for Ever 1 & 2 (Contract Jack, sucked)
Starcraft and Warcraft Series (This includes expansions)
Battlefield 1942 (The second one doesn't look that promising, expansion packs SUCKED.)
Half-Life 1 & 2 (Again, the second one wasn't that great but still fun...)
Age of Empires Series (Age of Empires 3 looks amazing)
Rise of Nations (Very cool)
Fallout 1 & 2 (Awesome game, very gritty. Too bad Tatics sucked)
Thief 2 & 3 (Amazing game, very innovative)
System Shock (Scariest Game I've ever playied, to this date)
Dues Ex 1 (Second one flopped)
Unreal 2004 (So, very cool)
Total Annihilation and Core Contingency (Never heard of absolute Annihlation)
America's Army (It's free and FUN)
Bladur's Gate Series and Expansion (Amazing game, why we have a third?)
