Movie Addicts. Celeb Dishers. Gamers. We're All Here.

After hearing about this list of idiocy thanks to my good friends out at Destructoid (I’m really beginning to love Destructoid), I figured it would be entertaining for us all to mock GamesRadar mercilessly via their list of the thirteen worst gaming innovations of all time.

So let’s go check out what GamesRadar hates, and then wail on it like Trekkies at Lucasarts Ranch.

GamesRadar Hates: Swimming.

Swimming. Are you serious? You can’t be serious. A minor play mechanic actually made it on your list of WORST INNOVATIONS OF ALL TIME. The kind of overkill required to add swimming to the worst innovations list is just astounding. That and you clearly haven’t taken on the Wii’s take on it, which promises to be the last word in Zen experiences.

GamesRadar Hates: Bullet Time

Okay, granted…Bullet Time is a marginal and heavily overused gimmick, but that’s not reason enough to call it one of the worst gaming developments of all time. That’s their reason, folks–it’s USED TOO OFTEN. So basically, by GamesRadar logic, the toilet is one of the worst inventions of all time because you can’t go anywhere without finding one.

GamesRadar Hates: Minigames

Give me a minute. I can’t stop laughing. They hate MINIGAMES. Those tiny little bits of fun interspersed into a larger block, that mean almost nothing to the plot but just serve as a tiny distraction are SO HORRIBLE to GamesRadar that they qualify as one of the worst inventions EVER. It’s like calling ant poison a weapon of mass destruction.

So you can see, just from these three, that the guys and gals at GamesRadar are reactionary, hyperbole-driven psychos who really shouldn’t be allowed within twenty feet of a keyboard lest they throw drivel like this at us. But thankfully, there are plenty of other, excellent gaming blogs out there for us to enjoy.

Like this one!

…and of course, Destructoid.
