Leviathyn.com's Jason Fanelli finishes his week of lists with the last track you'll ever hear in your favorite games: the credits song. You've beaten the final boss. You've conquered the adventure. How else would you want the game to end but with a fantastic carry-out song.
Leviathyn.com's Jason Fanelli has a week of Top 10's for you and today is the best Opening Themes in gaming history. From Mass Effect to Super Mario World to Kingdom Hearts 2, you'll find something you like on this one.
A look back at the best cinematics and cutscenes in gaming history. From Final Fantasy to Halo and Red Dead Redemption, we count down the 15 best that made up cry, jump for joy, and get hyped up like never before.
The top ten most-downloaded Playstation Network games on the Playstation Store for the month of June, according to the latest episode of the Playstation Pulse.
The 90s saw the introduction of 3D graphics and developers were able to infuse story into their games like they had never been able to before. These opening game cinematics were the top of the 90's, and helped to set the standard for what was to come.
"Final Fantasy is one of the most famous franchises in gaming history and for good reason. The gameplay has evolved over the years and pleased gamers on everything from the original NES to the WonderSwan and still entrances gamers on the PS3 and 360. But there's another appeal factor about this series."
A list of top ten best-selling Playstation Portable titles on the Playstation Network so far this year, according to the latest Playstation Pulse episode.
Square has developed a reputation over the years for dramatically changing how the battle mechanic works with each new iteration of the Final Fantasy series. The Kartel highlights how battling has evolved over the years, and pick out the ones that worked best.
"In order for an ending to reign superior over the others in this list, it must contain high production value within its context (i.e. FFVIII's ending can't be better than FFIV's ending on grounds of graphics), a satisfying conclusion to the story, and a strong musical score (Uematsu vs Uematsu vs Uematsu, etc.!)"
"8. Garland (FF9)
Garland is directly responsible for the events in the game. He was created by the Terrans and given the task to find a new planet for them to live on. When he couldn’t conquer Gaia, he created Kuja to be his Angel of Death, killing Gaians to make room for the Terrans’ souls."
The games on this list aren't neccessarily bad games or over-rated games. They are just games that were over-hyped to the point of ridiculousness and didn't end up delivering what was promised.
Here are vgchartz.com's Top 20 Most Overhyped Games Ever.

Here is part 2.
"Cecil is the main character of Final Fantasy 4, originally released in the US as Final Fantasy 2 for the Super Nintendo. Cecil starts out the game as a bad ass dark knight, but has to undergo a transformation to a paladin to fight the true enemy. It’s too bad, really, because his first form is much cooler."
"Videogame history is littered with rage and frustration. While we all love and cherish this noble hobby we call gaming, it has still been the source of thrown controllers, broken furniture and endless streams of curse words. While much anger has been had at bad level design, cheap deaths and wasted money, plenty of rage has been reserved for the characters themselves.
Game characters can be incredibly annoying. This is the result of an industry where game developers try to be writers, and ..."
"You know that game you play for hours every single night, and dream about playing throughout every single day? We can’t stand the damn thing. You remember that game you treasured as a child, the one you still get warm and fuzzy and misty-eyed just thinking about? Seriously, it sucks.
What follows are the “classics” our individual staffers consider crap. The overrated gems we just don’t understand. You may not agree with us, but that's okay - in most of these cases, we don't even agree with..."
Here's a cuter top list for all the softer gamers out there. Bob Mackey of www.1up.com has put up a list of the top ten dogs of the gaming world!
"1999. The last year of the 20th Century. It was a good one, although since it followed on the heels of one of the single best years the industry had ever seen, software-wise, it is often forgotten. However, in addition to the games that are on the final list, just a few of the top tier titles released in 1999 included Alpha Centauri, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Unreal Tournament and Soul Calibur. Indeed, as we come closer to our 2008 list, we find these lists getting harder ..."
Our friends over at 1up take a comical look at how 5 prominent religions are offended by video games. With the recent LittleBigPlanet Scandal - this is becoming a growing issue.
Note - I do not intend to offend anyone by posting this, it is for satirical and comical purposes only. Any sort of flaming and bickering within the comments will not be tolerated and dealt with accordingly.
Quoted below are my two favourites, look for the rest after the jump!

A list that features 10 of the best Final Fantasy games ever released. The list begins with Final Fantasy XI game which is the MMORPG. Also whoever is thinking that Final Fantasy VII is No.1 think again. VII-VIII-IX these three games fail to get the No.1 position, even though I was expecting one of them to be No.1. I'm also completely surprised with the position Final Fantasy XII made.
