Website review of Old-Wizard.com

RKRigney | September 29, 2008 | Reviews | Misc

SlapStic.com begins a new trend of reviewing "nerd sites" with a review of the ever-controversial Old-Wizard.com. The review shares parts of the sites history that many readers might not know about, and actually contains an explanation for the blog's hatred of all things Sega.

Old-Wizard.com is one of the consistently controversial "nerd blogs" on the internet.

There can be no other introduction for the site that is both hated and loved by tens of thousands. It's amazing to me that exactly half of the comments on OW articles are from people who thought the article was fantastic, while the full other half of comments are from people who want to stab the author with a rusty butter knife. There is no in-between. You either think the guys at Old-Wizard are heroes to nerds everywhere, or the biggest bunch of morons that ever bashed their faces into a keyboard until a website popped out.

I think more sites need to be controversial like old-wizard.com. Too many gaming sites tell you what the general opinion is, while old-wizard just says "Here's what I say, I don't give a *bleep* what everyone else thinks".

Good article, you shoud write more like this.

Agreed with the part about the lists having a retro slant. Seriously, what's the point of making an all time list if you don't include anything beyond the 80's and early 90's? Not that I'm bashing games of that era.
