Giant Bomb - a website about video games and the people that make them

Top listed lists

by lordandrew

These are the thirty top-rated lists as of November 1, 2010, along with some bonus commentary. I originally intended to critique each entry, but found myself enjoying them a lot more than I expected.

Showing 1-10 of 30 items

1. Item 1400-14188

The original and still the best, Brad dies like nobody else. For better or for worse, this list is Giant Bomb.

2. Item 1400-14281

This sort of list is actually quite common on Giant Bomb, but Jeff's inclusion of Johnny V, Chie Satonaka, Shaq and Mr. Domino and the codenames assigned to each character helps set it above the rest.

3. Item 1400-33205

Because someone had to call out Peter Molyneux. And Jonathan Davis. And George Broussard.

4. Item 1400-15101

Lists focusing on the Giant Bomb staff are pretty common, and this one is no exception. It's kind of creepy how obsessed with Ryan DanielJW appears to be, but he redeems himself with the inclusion of pages like Fragile Floor, Fat Girl in Ohio, Left Hand and Earpiece Conversion. It's a bit of a stretch, but it works.

5. Item 1400-10060

What do Star Raiders, ketchup, George Washington and Segata Sanshiro have in common? They're all on this list. There aren't even ten items on the list, but it does a pretty good job of showing what the wiki has to offer.

6. Item 1400-24623

Alma Wade. Mike Tyson. Kratos. Navi. The dog from Duck Hunt. Admit it, you wouldn't want to be in an elevator with these characters either. Each item is documented, and the list is a joy to read.

7. Item 1400-14596

This kind of list is a dime a dozen on Giant Bomb, but BenderUnit22 provides a table of entertaining ratings. Who is the funniest Quick Looker? Click through to the list to find out for yourself!

8. Item 1400-38849

A simple concept, but incredibly useful. Games are sorted by event date, with links to view the archived show. If you missed it the first time, check it out now.

9. Item 1400-1963

This is one of Giant Bomb's oldest "best wiki pages". No justifications are provided for any of the entries, but most of them speak for themselves. It's worth noting that "DS Microphone Use", was originally titled "Blow into the microphone to look like an idiot in public". Hopefully that clears up any confusion.

10. Item 1400-22733

This is not just any top 10 games of the decade list. This one was created by the one and only Greg Kasavin. Each list item is accompanied by a detailed justification of its inclusion, and it is worth reading even if you don't find yourself agreeing with Greg very often.
