The Five Finger Discount: Top 5 Zelda Games

Last Updated on Sunday, 29 November 2009 09:45 Written by Wrathie Thursday, 15 October 2009 09:00

Welcome to the 2nd edition of “The Five Finger Discount”, a column dedicated to giving you the “Top 5” in the gaming industry. I am currently trying to figure out whether to post this column on a biweekly or monthly basis; I’ll make my decision by the next column though. For those who are new to the column, I rate a gaming topic’s top 5 via a finger count down:

Pinkie = 5

Ring = 4

Middle = 3

Index = 2

The Thumbs Up = 1

This week, I’ll discuss the “Top 5 Zelda Games”! Last time Mario, this time Zelda? Think I have a Nintendo fetish? You bet youe ass I do! 😀 (Note: I am going to omit Zelda II: The Adventure of Link from the list because I never had a chance to play through it completely, so don’t hate). Without further ado:

According to Tom’s Hardware, Microsoft has recently constructed a deal wth Fox to advertise Windows 7. This deal has been agreed to be Family Guy’s creator, Seth MacFarlane, and is set to air on November 8th. Keep in mind that this is three weeks after Windows 7 if launched.

The current title is “Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show” and it according to Tomshardware, is, “a mix of live-action musical performances, animated shorts and celebrity guest appearances”.

Will this actually boost sales or adoption of Windows 7? I highly doubt it! What do you think?
