agreed completely w/ Ravenbom and Lizzie, Portal is just as memorable, if not more than the Cole Train

I'm with everyone else who's brought it up, Portal's credits are wonderful. I also like the credits that Insomniac puts into their games, with their long-running "No [insert featured game character here] were injured in the making of this game" statements.

One game that I think had bad credits, though, was on of the Crysis games (can't remember if it was the original or Warhead). Watched my brother finish it, and then the credits just seemed to go on FOREVER. Hell, we started to wonder if they had just repeated at some point and we had missed it.

I think that Flower has one of the best credits and should have been put on the list.

What about Hitman: Blood Money? (Spoiler Alert for nimrods and dinguses too stupid to have previously comprehended this probability)

It looks like 47 is dead, sold out by the disembodied voice chick, the cut-scene narrative wraps up right into it. I was actually getting pissed at the game for not letting me skip the credits (Escape wasn't doing anything) and banging at the keyboard for a few moments before I noticed that when I hit the spacebar, 47's heartbeat was starting back up. Capital bonus, I thought.

How could you not include Portal? It was actually better than Gears of War's.

Also, it seems like some of these are on the list for their ENDINGS, not their CREDITS (Halo 2, 3, Super Mario 64).

Others that I'm sure just barely missed the cut...

Best: Flower-never before have I actually had fun while watching cridits

Worst: Resistance 2-I watched the entire 15 minutes of credits roll hoping there would be one more cutscene when it was all over...nope.

How could you miss super monkey ball? The credits were a level with giant names you had to avoid! It was awesome!

Oh my God, I remember Fable... I sat through the entire effing credits just so I could use that epic sword- and the catch? Some glitch or something kept me locked in the academy permanantly. So. Hats off to those horrible credits.

Eat Lead wasn't that bad. A pretty badass song, if you ask me.
Plus Andre S. was in it, and he always does cool voices for cool games, like Scarface, Ratchet: Deadlocked, and Condemned 2.

Correction* the CREDITS for Eat Lead, not the actual game.

Is this writer new? I actually laughed out loud in a few places - the Halo 2 and Eat Lead ones are hilarious (and so true).

But you DID miss Portal.

I demand to see more features from this writer!

Y'know, I thought that it was brilliant that Eat Lead gave an achievement for watching the credits. Because the credits are there to -give credit- to those who have slaved over the product for a not insignificant amount of time. Too many people flip through the credits immediately after a game ends, and this makes sure they sit through the damn thing for once.

It's a mechanic I hope more games use, frankly. :|
