Each week throws off several new video game lists ranging from the humorous to the trivial. What's better? A list of those. Here's a roundup of the rundowns out there.
• The 11 Biggest Frauds in Gaming [Crispy Gamer] Gizmondo, Atari 2600 Pac-Man, those are no-brainers. But MotionPlus and PSP Go already on this list? Where's the Power Glove? Where's ROB? Where's Duke Nukem Forever? And that No. 1 sounds like an awfully personal selection.
• Top 10 Games to Help Ride Out the Summer {MTVU oops, that's mtvU] Basically it's Madden, some old-school console classics, and then all the current big selling new releases. And, for some reason, The Conduit.
• Top 11 Video Game Worlds You DON'T Want to Live In [Bam! Kapow!] Post-apocalyptic settings are an easy call. So is Half-Life's City 17. And No. 1 - Second Life - is an absolute no-brainer. But my No. 1? Paperboy's city. That place had four Addams Family houses on each block, nonstop road construction, break-ins, nasty dogs, and breakdancers. God, the breakdancers.
• Top 10 Favorite (sigh, Favourite) Game Cube Games [The Bits, Bytes, Pixels and Sprites] Rogue Squadron, Wind Waker, Metroid Prime and two Resident Evils grace this list. I did not own this console so I do not feel qualified to comment.
• Top 10 Old PC Gaming Franchises We Want Rebooted [GamePro] Wing Commander? Fuck and yes. Descent, Heretic, and the unsurpassed X-Wing/Tie Fighter series? Gimme, gimme, gimme. But I got two words for you that aren't on this list, and they are Full and Throttle.
