Since the dawn of gaming there have been top ten lists. Lists of the best games; lists of the worst games; lists of the sexiest, most offensive, most family friendly, most humorous; there are top ten lists for nearly every game under the sun. And then there are the games that lurk where the sun doesn't shine. More »

Brian Crecente — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 10:00:00 EDT

Top 10 MMOs

Kim Phu — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 13:40:00 EDT

In news outside of the console industry, the top ten most popular MMO games have been listed. Not surprisingly, World of Warcraft is sitting pretty at number one, but the rest of the list is a bit of a head scratcher. Habbo Hotel, that Finnish playable MySpace to the youth, comes in second, which begs the question,"How old do you have to be to own a credit card these days?!": More »

Top Ten Worst Ways to Die

Brian Crecente — Fri, 13 Oct 2006 16:00:33 EDT

ScrewAttack's Craig just shot me their latest top ten list: The worst ways to die. The list includes classics like Battle Toads and Cubivore and even points out that Burger Time has some post death tea-bagging by those viscious hot dogs. While the list decides that having a sword slammed through your head after you see it coming is the worst way to die, I'd have to disagree. Back when I was a police reporter, I once covered a man being crushed to death by stack of marble floor slabs. These stacked slabs were each the size of a nice-sized room and quite think. The occupational safety inspector later told me there was no space between the slabs when they found the poor guy. Brian Crecente More »

Worst Top Ten Car Video Game List

Brian Crecente — Fri, 06 Oct 2006 11:00:51 EDT

Our car-loving brother site Jalopnik points out that ForbesAuto created a top ten list for video games with cars. The thing is it's missing quite a few. Like, there's no NASCAR games, no Forumla 1 games, no Rally games and somehow Forza didn't make the list. It's like the ten games that the listmaker heard their younger, cooler brother talking about. Also, as Ray Wert points out, they friggin included the Fast and the Furious. This list is dead to me. Brian Crecente More »

Big Rubbery One: Top Ten List of The Hottest Guys in Gaming

brownlee — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 11:40:44 EDT

When a Top Ten List of the Hottest Guys in the Video Game Industry is this sad, you pretty much know that the industry is filled with hirsute, pimply cromagnons. For example, Adam Sessler, left, who looks like he just crawled out of a stripper's rectum in full delirium tremens mode to phone in another pantless G4 co-hosting session. More »

Official Top Ten Sellers of Xbox Live Arcade

lsmith — Thu, 19 Jan 2006 14:43:52 EST

Obviously, number one is going to be Geometry Wars. Does anyone with an Xbox 360 not have that game? That's a touch of hyperbole, obviously, but I would guess that its installed rate is pretty decent. So what else is selling big on the Xbox Live Arcade? The full top ten is after the jump. Lists are boring, so for your commenter-types, what casual games or retro games would you like to see on the Xbox 360's XBLA (that's what the cool kids are calling it)? More »

Not a Single Breakout Hit in 2005?

kourosh — Sat, 17 Dec 2005 15:13:00 EST

By now, you surely know that sales figures for the video game industry fell in 2005 compared with the year before. If you've been watching the stock prices of the major video game companies, you also know they are getting hammered. Why? Because "the industry failed to create a single breakout hit this year," according to a story in today's New York Times. Of the top ten games sold in 2005, seven (seven!) were released in 2004 or earlier. Ouch! More »
