Sometimes we come across gaming websites that just plain piss us off. They are overly objective or filled with too many rash “on the spot” opinions. There are a couple websites that stand out for us here at Old-Wizard, and Slapstic.com is one of them. Ryan Rigney and crew have created what we think is one of the best new video game website on the internet.

Like us, they write about Nintendo, which obviously gives us a kinship with them. What makes Slapstic standout from the rest of the video game websites on the net though, is the personality in their articles. These aren’t just news stories, but solid opinions on video games that are always well defended. Check out their “Top 10 Worst Enemies in Gaming History“, or their “15 Great Games that are Playable on Low End PC’s” to see what we mean.

Rigney and crew just don’t have personality, but a comedic appeal missing from many of the video game websites on the web today (IGN). Without taking themselves too seriously, that can bring out the greatness of the video game world in all it’s glory. Another attribute to Slapstic.com is their freedom in letting freelancers write their own articles for the site. The only requisite that is required is that the article has personality. It’s with this in mind that Slapstic is always a fun read no matter what article you’re reading.

We hope that Slapstic stays open for business for some time to come. Many video game websites that don’t garner immediate success shut down after a couple months on the scene. With the wit and identity that goes into Slapstic articles though, we are pretty sure that they’re here to stay. It’s always an exciting day when Slapstic updates their site with an enormously funny article like “Top Ten Worst Traits of a Nintendo Made Game“. Keep it coming Slapstic. Video game websites don’t have to be dull after all, thanks to these rare and unique articles made by the likes Ryan Rigney and Slapstic.
