We're not sure why, but there's been an abnormally high number of "top 10 something" in gaming lists as of late. To pay homage while simultaneously make fun of all the 10's, we give to you Joystiq's top 10 gaming top 10 lists (say that 10 times as fast as you can). And just for good measure, we won't even count the two lists posted today:

Though we're suckers for the good conversation they bring, which top 10 gaming list have you grown tired of, and which top 10 list should get more attention? Post your top 10 list recommendations in the comments below.

My favorites always are the top ten games of all time.

I freak out and call them a fraud if Zelda isn't there though. I guess My inner nintendo Fanboy can't accept other people may have a different opinion than my own, but to the grill with them. If Zelda Ain't there then the list is a fraud!

You forgot the Top 10 Manliest games. You know, for Machos.

I take that back. I just saw the "two" "links" you posted.

Doh!

OMG that list of the hugely overrated games just sucked. The guy went as far as to say Mario 64 is overrated and that Halo was the overrated entry in the series, not Halo 2.

Rofl, his reason was that they weren't classics like Resident evil, MGS and Half life 1.

WTF was this guy smoking? It's good thing he got flamed to hell and back for that infamy.

Although the personaltechpipeline was a better read.

There's a reason that when Netjak did its top games of all time list, they chose 22 (with 207 honorable mentions). However, since I was just a guest reviewer then, I have no idea what it is.

hehe, I for some reason like the "top worst lists" and its cool that one of them made it onto this top 10 list, but anyone remember this:

some of those covers are just hilariously terrible. I remember there was some top 10 list about bad video game ads, but I think the covers list is way better.

Heh, Netjak chose 22 because of three reasons.

One, it was the appropriate number to make sure that every staffer's #1 game got in the main list.

Two, it avoided the annoying habit of numbered lists where a couple ties extends the list past the number anyhow.

Three, a Top 22 list is much more memorable than a Top 10.

The Top 10 Overrated Games list needs a definite update. I mean, Halo 1 in #8? Come on, I mean, sure, it wasn't a terrible game. You shoot aliens to save the earth. Whoohoo. That's original. Yet for some reason everyone and their grandma bought this game.

I call for a recount!

I took a look back at the 10 things the 360 needs and a few of the things ( I think like three) were adressed in the dash update...

I don't know if anybody saw on youtube the top 10 gaming weapons of all time.

Super Mario 64 as number 3 in the most overrated list? That's just crazy.
