Bah, Guilty Pleasures was missing Rumble Roses, and Onechanbra...

Yeah, they're Japanese games, but both have been released plenty outside of Japan. In Fact! Demolision Girl was released in the UK!

And then there's games like Haunting Ground, where there are these special costumes you can unlock...

.....Yeah.... #listsoflists

@CyberSkull: What bugs me a bit is how the article refers to FX Nine as a single person instead of a shared pen name. Though you can't blame them for not wanting credit. At least the book recommendations at the end are good, though it's the only time I've seen Robert Heinlein recommended to prepubescents. #listsoflists

lol GameTrailers definitely hit the nail on the head with State of emergency and DOAX, this is are two in a short list of games that i can't play when my better half is awake.

State of emergency it's just to damn shocking for most people i know, so i just play it at night from time to time.

And DOAX....well there's not much to say about that game other than Giggity! :3 #listsoflists

While I would agree most video game novelizations suck, I would say the Myst novels aren't exactly novelizations (backstory is different!) and they don't suck.

And what's with all the Rosella hate? Geez.

I do not feel guilty about either Kingdom Hearts or Animal Crossing. They're both really good games, and I enjoy both immensely. If you enjoy a game and feel guilty about it, maybe you need to work on your insecurity issues... #listsoflists

@Lissar: I'm actually re-reading Book of Atrus at the moment, and yeah, it absolutely does not suck. A little slow maybe, but it's just thick with detail about the culture and craft of the D'ni that even the super-wordy games don't provide. I'm kinda getting the impression that the Millers were using the whole books-are-portals-to-other-worlds... thing as an allegory for programming; with the proper language and the right tools, you can literally create worlds. The book holds up.

I'm also glad to see that Greg Rucka's two Perfect Dark novels didn't make the list. I thought they made good use of the "corporate" aspect of "corporate espionage", starting some chapters with page-formatted press releases from dataDyne explaining away the events of the previous chapter. I'd recommend 'em.

My inner thirteen-year-old was heartbroken to see Doom in the #1 spot, but I don't know if I can argue with it.... #listsoflists

3D games generally don't age well. 2D seems to age much better. #listsoflists

@AncientUnknown1: That's a good point. It's probably because 2D games keep their action rather simple - simple button presses and gameplay. This is why a game of Shadow Complex doesn't seem too out of place with the other Metroidvania's even though it was made well after them.

And it explains why Symphony of the Night is not only a game you can go back to, but a game you can enjoy the hell out of, even though games like Shadow Complex technically 'look' better.

It's all about the controls and the simplicity there of. #listsoflists

The guy who said that Goldeneye:

"It's a classic case of people using their old happy memories to convince themselves a game is still good. You may think you want to see this game re-released, but trust me, you really don't. At best it's a novelty, at worst it's a horrifically dated FPS that should not be played anymore.

Doom is better."

That guy is gonna get ALOT of hate mail for that statement, but it is so true. #listsoflists

How can you call yourself a gamer nerd if you've never opened a Worlds of Power book or Nintendo Adventure Book? Those Nintendo Adventure books had some pretty tongue-in-cheek bad endings. That one has the Princess playing Basketball on the cover, which might qualify it to be the most fucking awesome thing in print.

I just came back from this article here: [www.destructoid.com]

And all that's left to say is "WTF?".
I mean how can you put Mortal Combat, Goldeneye and frikken Half-Life on that list? Sometimes I think they just toss some crap together and sprinkle it with a couple of controversial entries just to get more page-views. I mean it's pretty obvious that people will talk about it (consider me guilty of doing the same) but it the end it all comes down to personal beliefs.

Nevertheless, I must vent my disappointment: Jim Sterling you've got no clue! There I feel better already. It's nice bein' a wiseass ...sometimes ;)

@the wiseass: Though you may not want to admit it to yourself Goldeneye hasn't aged well. The its a lot slower than FPSs now and the controls aren't that great either. Thought it was revolutionary at the time it doesn't stand the test of time. #listsoflists

I'm in 100% agreement with the #1 of the '7 Horrible Videogames with Awesome Soundtracks'. The mana series was Amazing Seiken Densetsu 3 and back.

I played and stopped with the next two Mana games and tried to like them, but were total garbage! Music was still very amazing. I still buy those soundtracks too! <3 #listsoflists

@Tsunamidusher: Sega has produced the best video game music the medium has ever seen. Add Naofumi Hataya, Fumie Kumatani, and Tomoko Sasaki to Richard Jacques and Hideki Naganuma.

That means this gets the #wavemaster tag! #listsoflists
