A Top Ten and A Definitive Dozen

Posted by Zonk on from the lists-are-fun dept.

End-of-week lists are always fun. From CNet, we have a list of the top ten games of the last ten years, and from 1up.com the definitive dozen titles from the PS1's lifetime. From the 1up article: "Resident Evil Capcom, 1996 Admittedly a straight-up rip-off of the PC adventure series Alone in the Dark (all the way down to the polygonal characters in static environments), Resident Evil was the first great example of Sony's commitment to quality, adult-oriented entertainment. Sure, the controls sucked, and the voice acting was worse. But for all intents and purposes, this was the game that helped the PS1 grab gamers by the throat, chew on their jugulars, and gnaw on their brains."

    Sheesh the only good game on there was Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I laughed when it said that there wasn't a man alive who hasn't played Madden. What a joke. I'm sure there are plenty of gamers who have the sense not to play such a game. My list would have been much different... But I have to get back to work... (Darn clock)

  2. Wow, that was a great list. If you're a retard. by Hitto · · Score: 0, Troll

    Was it a "good games" list, or a "games that sold well" list? 'Cause that's what it fuckin' sounded like. Most of these games were loved by the sheeple we have been forced to share our favorite pastime with once the PS1 arrived. How about they make it a "best games that received mass media coverage and had a publicity budget that measured up to millions of dollars, which, as such, RUINED this industry because nowadays everything is a rehash of these games" ? Because that's what it fuckin' WAS, that list. I don't see any of the truly revolutionary games I've played in those last ten years. Oh, wait, there's one, right at the bottom of the first list. It's at the bottom because, "you know... For kids!" /obscure?

  3. On no... we don't have any news by El_Muerte_TDS · · Score: 0, Troll

    Let's create another bullshit top X list or otherwise our visitors will go away.

    How long until the top 10 of "top 10 lists"?

    From TFA:
    I don't think there's a man alive who hasn't played Madden.

    Try looking outside "the world" a.k.a. the United States for a change, the rest of the world really doesn't care for your kevlar-clad people carging against each other for 5 seconds and pausing.

    We prefer ice hockey, football (soccer to you) and rugby - the real men's version of your "football".
