Levine is just one of the choices, and so far, 91.24% voters think he should be included on the list, and 8.76% of participants think otherwise. What the hell do they know anyway? Go vote for Ken.

Time has said that the faux cover for the magazine featuring Modern Warfare 3 is “is a great way to connect with millions of people” who normally may not read the magazine.

Time Magazine has gone “Top 10″ mental and has issed loads of lists on its website – but only one should be near and dear to your heart.

That would be the list of the top 10 videogames of 2009. Whether or not you agree with the list is entirely a matter of opinion, but here it is anyway:

Top 10 Video Games

1. Modern Warfare 2
2. Batman: Arkham Asylum
3. DJ Hero
4. Borderlands
5. New Super Mario Bros. Wii
6. Geo-Defense Swarm
7. Scribblenauts
8. Halo: ODST
9. Assassin’s Creed 2
10. Uncharted 2

If you thought anything else would be listed as number one, you are in denial and we pity you.

Just kidding. We still love you, just know we’re laughing at you secretly behind your back.

Time Magazine has listed the top 50 best inventions of 2009, and Project Natal is one of ‘em.

The list includes the “best new gadgets and breakthrough ideas of the year”, and calls Natal “cool”

A $10 million dollar lightbulb is also on the list, and so is teleportation.

Go see for yourself.

Time Magazine has published its top ten video games of the year, with GTA IV at number one.

“It’s a grade-A shoot-’em-up that doubles as an interactive novel and triples as a sly critique of American consumer culture,” says the piece.

Jonathon Blow’s platformer Braid comes in at number two, while LittleBigPlanet takes third.

The full top ten:

1. GTA IV
2. Braid
3. LittleBigPlanet
4. Rock Band 2
5. Gears of War 2
6. Dead Space
7. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
8. Hunted Forever
9. FieldRunners
10. Spore

Shigeru Miyamoto is in third place in Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people of the year award, as you can see here. Go and vote if you haven’t already. It’s a bit like putting “Jedi” as your religion on a census form, but should distract you for at least two minutes, and therefore worthwhile.
