This is an interesting compilation of the top 10 hardest games, I cant help but notice that many of them were on the classic systems, especially the NES. I have to say that I agree with almost all of them although I played enough Contra that I could run through the entire game with three lives no problem. I was surprised by the number one spot but probably because I never really played that title. What would you have added?
The 90’s such a happy time, gaming was at an all time high, no online trash talking was around and gamers hadn’t gotten all serious about themselves just yet. Some may argue this was the golden age of gaming. This is a pretty good list of the top 10 games form the 90’s and just watching brings back a lot of memories. I like the inclusion of Starcraft, this was a monster PC title at the time, but I would argue for Street Fighter to take the top spot, just because I think more people played that game, but well done video all around.
2007 has come and gone. It’s time to look back at the top 10 stories of the year. Some of them my have intrigued you, some of them may have pissed you off. Either way, these are biggest stories as ranked by our popularity generator (yeah, we actually have one).
According to Majornelson, these are the most used titles on Xbox Live this year:
Xbox 360 Top Live Titles 1 Halo 3
2 Call of Duty 4
3 Gears of War
4 Guitar Hero III
5 Burnout Paradise Demo
6 Assassin’s Creed
7 Madden NFL 08
8 Mass Effect
9 Kane & Lynch (Demo)
10 Guitar Hero II
I don’t really understand this list. Assassin’s Creed is not a multiplayer game. I guess people just auto logged on while playing. Seems like a sort of useless list but its good to see what is the most popular at the time.
I always like to see how the so-called experts feel about what was the best of the best in the past year. So far. we have had a good track record with our choices. Here is a video comp their opinions.
We at Loot Ninja are simple men. We like a lollipop in our mouth and some butter in our ass. No, not really, extra credit if you know what movie that is from, but anyway. Here is a unique countdown. It combines girls, video gaming, and counting. The trifecta for a good time. Enjoy. Let us know what you think.
The never ending string of Game of the Year lists are now showing their head and Maxim has taken their turn. This list is better than the shit storm that time put together, but I have a few issues with this. The Darkness and Stranglehold were good games, but 2nd tier at best. Halo 3 is missing yet Stranglehold is there. Another magazine that is out of its element.
1. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
2. Guitar Hero III
3. Half-Life 2: The OrangeBox
4. BioShock
5. God of War II
6. Super Mario Galaxy
7. The Darkness
8. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
9. John Woo Presents: Stranglehold
10. Lost Planet: Extreme Condition
Time Magazine might be the most recognizable magazine in our country and maybe the world. They have covered some of the most turbulent times in history and now has taken a stab at video games. Jesus tapdancing Christ. Here is the list. I will save you the annoyance of clicking through.
Halo 3
Half Life 2: The Orange Box
Rock Band
Super Mario Galaxy
Bioshock
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass
Mass Effect
Ace Combat 6
God of War 2
What the fuck? I understand that PS2 is last gen, but you better have a huge set of balls to rate God of War 2 lower than Ace Combat 6. Somehow the DS version of Zelda beat out the wii version? Metroid was not even mentioned. Bioshock rated lower than Rock Band? Rock Band is fun but you cannot even begin to compare to the two. Halo 3 sold hundreds of millions of copies but that does not make it the game of the year, ironically, winning no major awards at the VGA’s. Half Life 2, hey, great port, but number 2? Also notice, not one PS3 exclusive title made it. A chimpanzee could have picked these games out of his ass in a better order.
We're like Spaceballs... we're making Loot Ninja everything. Coming soon we'll have hats, shirts, hoodies, possibly banana hammocks if one Editor has his way...
Check out the shirt prototypes here and the hats here
