Every hobby has its own lexicon and video games are no different. Each group of gamers has their own slang terms to describe their shared experiences. Here at Bomb Guts, we’re going to expand your gaming vocabulary, so you no longer sound like Charlie Korsmo in Can’t Hardly Wait. Hit the jump to educate yourself.

In light of the New Super Mario Bros. Wii release, I thought it would be a nice nostalgic idea to look back at Mario over the years. Aside from the multiplayer, one of the most immediate things you’ll notice about the game is how awesome some of the new power-ups are. So, why don’t we see how they stack up against some of the more classic power-ups in the latest top ten list…
So, I got the red ring of death recently. Over the past six months or so, my 360 has had a few “false starts”, but it always came back around. These near death experiences, where my console would not boot up fully and the lights would flicker a crimson omen of doom, had me somewhat prepared for an eventual breakdown, so I sort of expected it. And therein lies the problem. I fucking EXPECTED it.

Alright, so this was a tough one. In fact, you’re lucky this article even got finished, as I spent days lying in the fetal position trying to get through the eliminations. Pretty much immediately, you should notice some glaring omissions from the list; namely, anything from the Final Fantasy series. The truth is, I love that series so much, that too many spots on this list would be taken up by games from it. Fret not however, as I have a sneaking suspicion that a Final Fantasy top ten list could be in the pipeline in the near future. I also tried to avoid hybrid RPG’s (Ogre Battle, FF Tactics, etc.) as well as non-traditional games with RPG elements (Castlevania SotN, Castle Crashers, etc.). I also didn’t use multiple games in the game series (Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 2). In the meantime, enjoy the greatest RPG games of all time (with those exceptions).

In what I’m hoping will become a somewhat regular offering here at Bomb Guts, allow me to introduce you to the first, of hopefully many, takes on the worst in innovation. I’m talking about features so awful, they make an otherwise solid game unplayable. Somewhere in the development cycle, something was horribly lost in translation. And one man’s fun turned into another man’s agony. These are gameplay elements that make even your mother scream “WTF were they even thinking?”
And for me, no other game comes more readily to mind than Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (GC).
