Games which say Indian instead of Native American or Eskimo instead of Inuit?
"Native American" is just as wrong as "American Indian", and for the same reason: the latter asserts that the aboriginal American peoples were born elsewhere, the former asserts that everyone else was. :p I believe the proper term nowadays is "First Nations".
And although "Eskimo" is said to be an offensive term in another First Nations language, I once got flamed on a newsgroup for using "Inuit" -- apparently not all so-called "Eskimo" people are Inuits, and those who aren't will be offended if you call them that.
I never make misteaksmistrakesmisyaleserrurs — oh, sod it.
I dont think anyone thinks its the most influential game of the year, think they were being sarcastic as this is the game we've been talking most about this year (due to the controversial subject).
The animation in the game is excellent, the subject matter is utterly stupid about shooting gay people which just seems like it wants to shock.
This is my point exactly. We tried to use a voting system to rate games, but that failed because some pranksters would always suggest that Abadia Del Drivel is the best game ever written, when it's plain that this is not the case. I mean, it's not bad as a bit of homebrew, but there's lots and lots of games better than that - pick any isometric game, for instance.
Hell, Cybernoid is a better isometric adventure game than A-bad-ear.
So, what other metric do we use? I suggest that we use the size of the discussions around the game. And to that end, because you maggots decided to make such an enormous fuss, Gay Shot must be declared best game of 2010.
It's your fault for being pillocks and getting offended.
I remember reading someone from US Gold talking about how in all his years in the video game industry, no game was the subject matter of as many phonecalls from the public as World Cup Carnival. Therefore World Cup Carnival is the best game US Gold ever released!
I've never played Abbey Of Crime, but I remember Sir Joffa berating it for being too slow to be playable, so that's enough for me right now. I do think it's a great idea setting an isometric game in that location though, great potential for atmosphere.

It obviously worked as once again this thread pops up :lol:
