I’m not gonna lie. I have in the past picked up an issue of Maxim. I’ve been walking through an airport news stand and decided to pick it up. As hard as it may be for some to believe, I didn’t just buy it for the purdy girls. Some of the articles are interesting.

With that said, I have never thought of Maxim as a solid place to find video game knowledge. Maxim released their list of the top 10 games of 2007. I think that the list kinda speaks for itself. It goes as follows:

1) Call of Duty 4

2) Guitar Hero 3

3) The Orange Box

4) BioShock

5) God of War 2

6) Super Mario Galaxy

7) The Darkness

8) Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

9) Stranglehold

10) Lost Planet : Extreme Condition

User’s Pick : Halo 3

Nice list huh?

While I can’t disagree with COD4 being number 1 (it’s my choice for GOTY also), how can Halo 3 not be on the list? I know I’ve ripped on the single player but good lord the multi-player alone makes it a choice. Granted I never bothered to play The Darkness, but I can’t imagine it being worthy of top 10 status. Also Stranglehold while it was a solid game doesnt deserve top 10 either.

I will give them credit for having Lost Planet on the list that was a great game and deserves a little love. Well their video game lists might not be great but hey THEY STILL GOT PRETTY LADIES!!!
