Here’s an interesting fact that I was unaware of…hell probably the only person on Earth who didn’t know…I had to google the term Noughties . Yep, I have never heard of that word before. In fact, I even had to run it thru a text-to-speech program just to make sure. Well, at least I was able to learn it enough in time before the decaded ended!

Speaking of the last 10 years, VideoGamer.com takes a look at the top 100 video games of The Noughties with a listing of games from 100 to 91.  The Sims 3 barely makes it on the list as the 100th game:

Originality is a rare commodity in the world of gaming, but it’s even rarer to see an original game that sells well. The Sims is the best-selling PC game of all time, a roaring success people still buy and play (and indeed pirate) some ten years after its first appearance. Since then we’ve had two full sequels along with countless spin-offs and console versions, but the series’ main draw remains largely unchanged. The Sims is a living doll’s house, a unique gaming experience that allows us to play God while simultaneously engaging with our all-too-human hopes and fears. It’s a game about doing the dishes, paying the bills, and trying in vein to shag your hot single friends. It’s also the only game on this list that lets you trap a man in a room with no doors and no toilet – an activity that has to rank as one of the cruellest pleasures in the history of gaming.
