Type into any search engine whatever you fancy and you're sure to find a top 10 list devoted to it.

From American sports cars to dog breeds, someone out there has chosen its 10 best. While this isn't something new, it is still one of the many useless, but entertaining time wasters within the great World Wide Web.

It is odd how a little nostalgia can attract a Web surfer to something as silly as ranking the worst 80s music videos from one to 10. The reasons will remain a mystery, but the 10s will keep on coming.

No other searchable top 10 surpasses the amount of top 10s solely created just for the video game world.

In fact, this genre has got 10 so broad it was required by cybernetic law to receive its own Internet top 10. So go ahead and Google, ask or just plain old surf your way through the Web to find sites each having their own personal top 10s for these top 10 video game top 10 categories.

Maybe afterward you could make your own versions.

10. Top 10 Greatest Games of All Time: This made number 10 because, while even though it’s so basic, it is has the most diverse ranking of any other top 10. It seems like everyone on the planet has his or her own "10 greatest games."

*9.* Top 10 Worst Games of All Time: This category also has diversity between Web sites. However, almost every time two games make the list: “E.T.” and “Cosmic Race.”

*8.* Top 10 Babes: This one should be a top 12, to fill the calendar every year. Lara Croft is always in the top three, after that most let their perverted imaginations run wild.

*7.* Top 10 Weird Games: These games are usually created in the magical world of make believe known as Tokyo. They're not necessarily bad. However, the characters are so abstract they make a Picasso look like Sears Portrait Studio. They usually have some sort of task that makes absolutely no sense, like rolling a ball over people for six hours.

*6.* Top 10 Zombie Games: While the Resident Evil series is a given, it is surprising what does end up on the list. At the moment "Dead Rising" is at the top of every single one.

*5.* Top 10 Time Suckers: These are the games that made American children what they are today: fat, lazy blobs who never leave the couch. These time absorbers are the games that keep people in their basements for 23 hours every day. “WOW” is currently on the top of everyone's list.

*4.* Top 10 Villains: From the slimy telepath of Metal Gear Solid, to the tubby, fire-breathing King Koopa; this top 10 is broad enough to have rivals and enemies from all over the digital spectrum.

*3.* Top 10 Weenie moves: Camping, Bunny Hopping and Oddjob. These are the usual suspects for ways people make the multi-player experience a little more annoying. These are the moves that make teeth grind out the painful grunt: "NOOB!"

*2.* Top 10 Gayest Characters: Gaygamer.net has its own batch of digital characters that swing the other way. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Look for the Birdo from Super Mario 2 and Don Flamenco from Punch Out!

*1.* Top 10 Weapons: This list is always up for debate about whether or not it should include all weapons, or just the first-person shooters. The two that always make the list are the BFG from "Doom" and the trusty three red turtle shells from "Mario Kart.”
