03.22.2007 TOP TEN TOUGHEST GAMES TO BEAT

IGN put together this top ten list by polling editors around the office, and combining their lists with reader review input. Here's the ten they claim to be the toughest games to beat of all time:

• 10. Ninja Gaiden Black
• 9. Devil May Cry 3
• 8. Battletoads
• 7. R-Type
• 6. MDK2
• 5. Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts
• 4. F-Zero GX
• 3. Shinobi
• 2. Mega Man
• 1. Contra
  

Obviously endless games like World of Warcraft are disqualified, but I thought E.T. on Atari would show up on the list. How many have you and your friends beaten? I didn't reach a passing grade, but in my defense, not all "classic" games are good just because they're hard to beat. There's nothing that pisses me off more in gaming than people who constantly brag about beating games that came out decades ago.
