Top 10 Video Game Emotions

Only a Game has a fun post on the 'top 10 video game emotions' - emotions that people recognize as both present while they're playing, and enhancements of gameplay:

Based on the 1,040 responses to the DGD2 survey, I have ranked the top 10 emotions with their average score out of 5 to get a rough-and-ready estimate of the popularity of various emotions. This isn't a strict scientific measure, as such, but the highest scoring emotions are those for which the majority of people not only recognised having that emotion while playing games, but recognised it enhanced their enjoyment.

There are some surprises ('fiero,' or 'triumph over adversity,' one of the emotions that gets a lot of attention in these sorts of discussions, didn't even make it halfway up the top ten list), and some not so surprising ('amusement' got the top spot). Anyways, it's an interesting analysis of some of the whys and wherefores of the final tallies.

Top 10 Planet Friendly Games

Just in time for Earth Day, which is today (living in Taipei, where a layer of suspicious-looking black gunk coats every exposed surface on my roof, I didn't even notice), Game Daily brings us a list of the top 10 planet friendly games. A couple of my pet favorites are on here: Katamari, Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon (I'm not sure farming has ever looked so fun and environmentally friendly as it does on my DS) all make the list, along with some unexpected choices like Grand Theft Auto.

Rant: Dr. 90210 the Video Game Girls Please!

I came across this little Princess Lea and R2-D2 figurine made by Gentle Giant and was like, "Why is Lara Croft with R2D2?" when I realized that this is the new look for cartoon Lea. So of course, a hunt down to find other babes in gameland ensued and I found QJ's Top 10 List of gaming vixens, which are as follows: More »

Screw Attack's Top Ten "Super" Games

Just because a game has "Super" in the title doesn't make it a super game. Screw Attack's handsome Tom and Stuttering Craig examine this phenomenon in their latest video, Top 10 "Super" Games. As they point out, the Super Nintendo was extremely fond of adding "super" into the title of a lot of their games. The list is rather staggering actually and I'm impressed the boys were able to narrow it down to just ten. Hopefully, they will follow this one up with a "Top 10 Worst Super Games" list. As much as I love watching clips from great games, I get much more satisfaction out of laughing and pointing at them. Flynn De Marco

The 10 Most Important Video Games

Henry Lowood, the curator of the Stanford University History of Science and Technology Collections, announced this past week a list of the 10 Most Important Video Games of All Time. This game canon has been created to preserve to cultural and historical significance of gaming. The list is a result of a collaboration between Lowood, Warren Spector, Steve Meretzky, academic researcher Matteo Bittani and gaming journalist Christopher Grant from Joystiq, and represents the games we must protect at all costs...our cultural artifacts.

Latest by rpatnode: @Volante3192: You are correct. Henry Lowood was my professor/advisor. They will be adding 10 more games at each year's GDC. As a result, it's important to realize that this is not a best-of list. This is just a start, and more »

Let Them Eat Game Cakes

In a world of DIY everything and the rise of The Food Network, everyone is jumping on the cooking bandwagon. In the last year or so, game themed cakes have been all the rage and we've seen some really incredible ones like the Mario Brothers wedding cake which pretty much puts all other game cakes to shame.

Sight Unseen, The Best 360 Games Of Late 2006!

British Gaming Blog is pretty optimistic about the rest of this year in 360 gaming. I mean, why not be?

Ten Best Weapons in Gaming

If GT had any sanity rattling around in their cerebellums at all, this list of the Top Ten Video Game Weapons would be Painkiller's entire arsenal and five other guns. It isn't; they don't. And there's a lot of often gibbering hyperbole. But it's still a lot of fun early on a Friday Morning. More »

Nude Moments in 8-Bit Gaming

Top 10 Girliest Games Ever

As the founding member of Kotaku's own branch of the He-Man Woman Hater's Club, I probably should not deign to cootie myself up touching the subject matter of the Top 10 Girliest Games of All Time. Best to put on my Haz-Mat suit, hand off the assignment to our token female staffer, then go watch some Pumping Iron to up the testosterone levels again. But Eliza's never around when you need her.

Top 10 Manliest Games Ever

I subscribe to the beefcake philosophy of masculinity. As a manly man, I often start the mornings off by inserting a bag of oranges between my rippling pecs and using them to squeeze myself a pitcher of fresh juice. Then, chaining a broken down omnibus around my neck, it's time for a vigorous morning jog, oftentimes while listening to that most manly of songs ('It's Raining Men' by the Weather Sisters) on my iPod. When I get home, I write my very manly Kotaku posts (like this one), then hit the George for a manly evening of tight leather-pants dancing. The rest of the evening will often be spent in quiet masculine contemplation, making naked muscle-man poses in my wall-length bedroom mirror. More »

Top Ten Xbox 360 Titles

Prodigious Gaming just put out a top ten list for Xbox 360 launch titles. While reviewing the list, keep in mind that it's got to be mostly based in the ephemeral, mostly fictional world of early builds, screen shots and gigantic early-production lies of Molyneuxesque proportion. More »
