The Top 5 Games of All Time
An anonymous reader writes "The guys over at trusted reviews have come up with lists of their top five games of all time. There are some obvious choices and some very obscure ones, but on the whole its interesting reading. See how their lists compare to yours."
Tch. Everyone knows that the real top 5 are:
1. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
2. Halo 2
3. Half Life 2
4. Counter Strike
5. Battlefield 2
All my 11-year-old neighbors told me so.
and I just puked advertisements.
Inundated? Go on then, list the Top 5 lists we've been inundated with... ;)

The top 5 dams of all time: 1. Hoover Dam 2. Benmore Dam 3. Grande Dixence Dam 4. Keban Dam 5. Verzasca dam.
It tried to make the list, but it died of dysentery :(
not my cup of tea, for comparison half life's DMC (Death Match Classic) mod played along these lines
1. spawn
2. run towards nearest big gun
3. kill people
4. die hilariously
5. repeat = fun
and counter strike, (which admittedly i havent played much since one of the original beta's back in 99) goes something like this
1. chose from vast array of guns in a menu and not being a firearms expert have no idea what's what or what's any good about them
2. spawn
3. try to find players on other team, half of whom are camping
4. die from single bullet shot to toe
5. wait 20 minutes for round to end
6. finally repeat = suckage
obviously the former falls into the arcade category and the latter into tactical, so whilst it's most certainly a question of taste i prefer my games to place their emphasis on fast furious fun
If you don't risk failure you don't risk success.
What would be interesting though would be a top 5 games slashdot commenters play eg:-
1) Trolling
2) Providing a link to the ad free version of the article
3) Saying something totally obvious but because you write more than a paragraph hoping it'll get modded as insightful
4) Karma whoring
5) Karma whoring other posts (eg mod parent up please!)
