List of Games Beaten in 2010 0
The topic is succinct enough, any supplemental text is unnecessary. Oh, I was supposed to leave this blank if that was the case? Well, no-one tells me anything.Some stats, then, since the year seems to have passed:Total Games Completed: 67 (hence the

State of the PS2 Backlog 8
My PS2 backlog is horrendous. I blame this partially (only partially?) on my own lack of self-control and the extremely cheap cost of pre-owned PS2 games, a library which continues to grow with the passage of time. Some of the greatest games of five

Fun With Anagrams 43
Decided to play the Anagram Game. Popularized by the Simpsons, the Anagram Game is where you take a person's name and rearrange the letters to form a description of that person. I shall be doing it with video games. Thanks for 100 upvotes, everyone.

Characters Better Suited For Tycho's Chair in "Poker Night at the Inventory" 5
Regardless of your opinions of Penny Arcade, Tycho just isn't a good fit: He's the only character who isn't actually a video game character (besides that brief stint in those Rain Slick games, which was mostly just a physical resemblance IIRC); He's

10 Favoritest Genres Of All Time 5
Just to be clear: I don't use a word as classy as "favoritest" for just anything.I went with genres over games for a bit more variety. The reason it's a list of games is because they're representative.

Acrostastic 11
Experiment #2: Acrostic Reviews. So these things are basically game reviews/descriptions where the letters at the start of each word spell the name of the game. I'm sure this won't be a complete failure! Cautiously optimistic exclamation point!

List of Games Beaten in 2011 4
Hooray, a new one of these. What eclectic mix of interactive entertainment will appear on here over the coming months? Can I beat last year's total? Will anyone care? The answers to these questions and more, only on Mento's "List of Games Beaten in 2

Most Anticipated 3DS Games! 0
Since there's apparently a sequel or port to EVERY game franchise coming out on this thing, and I need to justify buying one with its $350 European price tag, here's what I'm looking forward to seeing released on Nintendo's new bundle of extra-dimens

An A-Z of Awesomicity 2
This is a list of a games that I think are pretty neat. Since my whole gimmick on Giant Bomb seems to be making lists that use some form of ridiculous wordplay, I've picked a great game for every letter of the alphabet. Sure, why wouldn't I do that.T

A Z-A of... Ztuff I Haven't Played Yet 2
Hola, GB. This is like the other A-Z list, but in a different direction. I'm reversing it up because these are games I haven't played but someday want to. Either they're on the backlog already and I'm just procrastinating over them (and when you're p

The Definitive 108 Stars of Destiny 4
You guys should probably play a Suikoden game. Or watch The Water Margin. Or, I dunno, read the book I guess. This is a list for those who have done some of the above, where I expand the central "108 dudes chosen by destiny" conceit to include Gia

Japanese Role-Playing Games: I've Played a Few 17
A list wherein I recall all the JRPGs I've ever bothered to play to completion. I got curious. Surely I haven't wasted half my life playing these things, right? Of course not. Eep. The list isn't in any particular order. Unless I alphabetized them at

List of Wizards & The Things They Find Fucked Up 5
Essentially, a list of characters (or games if the character page doesn't exist) in this format: "I'm _________ and _______ fucked up." Let this be a warning: Never let boredom and Giant Bomb memes be your motivators.

Game Boy Originals Still Worth Playing 4
Just a quick list of the great and unique of the early GB library, before it started messing around with fanciful notions like 3D, dual screens, or colors. You know, before it sold out. Long live the eShop!

List of Games I've Written FAQs For 0
So yeah, this is something I used to do. I really should get back to writing more guides someday, it's good practice for creating Design Documents - you are essentially reverse-engineering games in a walkthrough after all. Inspired by a recent blog d

Stuff From E3 2011 That Might Be Fun To Play, I Guess. 0

PC Games & I: A Monumental Mento Memento 9
Since Steam finally got me back into PC gaming, after some decade and a half or so of ignoring it for various reasons (hint: they all relate to how technologically sophisticated my PCs have been, which is to say not very), I figured I'd celebrate by

Every SNES Game Strong Bad Has Mumbled About In His Sleep 2

N64 Games That Should Get The 3DS Treatment 4
I'm tempted just to add every N64 game I like here (and there's a few), or fill this with joke entries like my other (recently downvoted!) 3DS list, but instead I'll focus on those that were a little too graphically ambitious for a system noted for i

Augmento 1
If I were in the cyberpunk universe of Deus Ex and had the yen/dollar/credits, these are the augments I'd get. Screw those Purity First dudes, I want to be bionic.

Snesational SENS Games 3
Nobody finds dyslexia as funny as I do. But I'd wager many people find SNES games as awesome as I do. Simply listing all the ones I've played would be a little extensive and probably (probably?) not that interesting to most, so here's an A-Z of SNES

Potential Batman Villains 1
It's pretty easy to turn any video game character into a Batman villain. All you need is a pseudo-scientific reason why they look the way they do, then add a smattering of psychoses and Bob Kane's your uncle.

Franchises That Should Become Traveller's Tales LEGO Games 2
Nothing like a straightforward title like that to make this text box completely unnecessary. But what can I say? I can't pass a text box without writing something in there. I'm taking the therapy sessions.

Home Sweet Home 3
I'm kind of a homebody. Which is fun-loving young people parlance for "creepy weird recluse guy". As such, I can appreciate a good home base in games. Somewhere safe, cosy and stocked with benefits that the protagonist(s) can return to after a busy d

Games That Would Be Better Without Tower Defense 2
Such a bold proclamation! Not really. Tower Defense is the worst non-financial trend in video gaming in a good long time. So in lieu of going outside and getting exercise, here's an exercise where I exorcise this demon from many hit Indie and not-so-

Video Game Store Yelp Reviews 2
Oh dear me, what am I doing? Why, jumping on yet another bandwagon while the iron's still hot (I don't think those two idioms go together). See the second Chrono Trigger ER video for this list's inspiration.

Suffering Suffixes! 4

Alas, Poor Yorick 2
It's almost 2012 everyone, and what better way to see in the new year than a frank discussion on our favourite talking, floating skulls from the world of video games? Most thematically appropriate list ever, I think.

So here's the deal: This is a list of games I eventually want to beat by December 31st 2012. I mean, that's what anyone means by a pile of shame, right? Unless they're trying to make some sort of unfortunate sexual euphemism. Not the case here. So we
