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.
•Eight Ways to Improve Red Dead Redemption [EgoTV] How about “Press Y to Skin Human.”
•Video Gaming’s Greatest Mustaches [OC Weekly] A bit surprised that Mario is not on this list; perhaps his spot was taken by Wario. But I’m not going to argue with Mayor Mike Haggar from Final Fight, an outstanding No. 1 pick.
•The 16 Worst Comic Book Video Games [Popcrunch] Of course Superman for the Nintendo 64 is No. 1. This list also includes two games with that titular clichĂ© “The Rise of …” in their titles. So, that should be fair warning that if your film or game has that ominous sounding “The Rise of …” followed by a very specific name or proper noun anyone outside of the core audience hasn’t heard of, rising or otherwise, it’s probably a piece of shit.
•Top Ten Reasons Why Kinect is Worth $149 [Planet Xbox 360] “It will get you laid” is not among them. Which means it’s probably not worth $149.
•12 Facts Abiout StarCraft You Might Not Have Known [Asylum] Not on this list: StarCraft II comes out on Tuesday. That’s because you already knew that.
