Wii Makes Worst Tech List
CNET has published their “Worst Tech of Q2 2006” top ten list, and four game or game-related technologies make the list. Nyko’s Intelligent Remote 360 is the top game-related offender at number 2 on the chart. The remote control makes it for “Worst use of the word intelligent,” which, if you have tried to use this remote, makes a lot of sense. At number 4 is And 1 Streetball for “Worst electronic referees” and X-Men: The Official Game gets dinged for “Worst Game Based on a Movie.” Finally, the last game-related entry is the Nintendo Wii at number nine, garnering the title “Worst name change.” While the name change shocked a lot of gamers, Infinium’s announced name change to Phantom Entertainment had to be in the running for this narrow category. For a company that has been synonymous with vaporware to change its name to something as ephemeral as a phantom may have been too easy of a target. CNET’s weird quarterly restriction feels kind of like when a restaurant names itself “Best Barbeque On the Block”; the attribution may be true, but is ultimately meaningless.
