Hearing Voices – The Top Faceless Game Announcers
3:40AM Mike Fahey | While I generally don’t pay too much attention to Maxim’s video game coverage, mainly because I don’t feel like I fit into their core demographic (Maxim readers), every once in a while the magazine that gave Sudeki for the Xbox 5 stars has something interesting to offer. Like a list of the 7 Greatest Faceless Announcers in Video Games, a celebration of those announcers we never see but will never forget. You may know them as “The Finish Him Guy”, or “the guy from Soul Calibur who sounds like he’s just making shit up as he goes along”, but you love them just the same. More »
Video Game Currencies That Out-Value The US Dollar
9:40AM Michael McWhertor | Curious about how an investment in rupees, the currency in The Legend of Zelda, would have translated into real world profit? The financial wizards at Maxim have gone through the impressive effort of translating the in-game value of currencies to real-world dollars from a septet of classic and modern video games, a scientific pursuit that proves a single mineral unit from StarCraft is worth far, far more than a gold ring from Sonic the Hedgehog will ever be.

Maxim Announces Top Ten Video Games of 2007
3:21PM Michael McWhertor | Sure, TIME’s list of the best ten games released this calendar year had its controversial entries, but I highly doubt anyone will dispute gaming bible Maxim’s choices. Basically, all you really need to know is that 2K Games The Darkness surpassed Metroid Prime 3: Corruption in Maxim magazine’s year end wrap up of the best games of 2007. What else did The Darkness beat out? Halo 3, Rock Band and Mass Effect, who sadly didn’t make the cut, despite one of those featuring hot girl-on-girl action. At least Halo 3 nabbed the coveted “User Pick” for top spot. Maybe similar mags Stuff or King will throw them a bone. Anyhoo, enough teasing. Here are the top ten games of 2007, as decreed by the editors of Maxim. 1. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock 3. The Orange Box 4. BioShock 5.God of War II 6. Super Mario Galaxy 7. The Darkness 8. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption 9. John Woo’s Stranglehold 10. Lost Planet: Extreme Condition We’ll be tabulating the LOLs, ROFLs, ROFLMAOs, WTFs and GTFOs as soon as possible and plan to provide nice pie charts. Best of 2007: Video Games [Maxim] More »
