I've survived every one of these blasts expect FF IV/IX and KoTOR (KoTOR I'm playing though at the moment).

There must be more town-destroying RPGs out there that's NOT Final Fantasy!

What about Chicago in Deus Ex: Invisible War?
What about THE ENTIRE GALAXY in Mass Effect?

Does anyone think that Zeal sounds alot like the floating city from Gullivers Travels? I mean it floats and they are sleepy just like in the book. Or am I the only one who has read that book?

Probably the most eclectic top seven yet, looks interesting though.

In final Fantasy X-2 you can visit Zanarkland as a ruin, but it sucks pretty badly compared to megaton aftermath because the only ghouls you come across are tourist.

Oh man, how ironic that Moira, THE MOST ANNOYING one, was left alive?
Not fair. Plus, I prefer the suite in Tenpenny Tower. Much better.

I'm afraid that I have to come to the conclusion that the designers of final fantasy are planning to blow up a city and that the games are just a cover for simulations.

At least half the list was Final Fantasy! D:

Funny list though

And OMG, I KNEW MEGATON WAS GOING TO BE IN IT
It's practically the reason you made this top 7, Isn't it?

Fallout3 isn't fit to lace the radioactive drinks of it's elder brothers! Plus the cheap reason behind nuking M'ton makes it look like a gimmick to sell the whole glitch fest(like which preview DIDN'T tell you you would be able to do it?). Two broken combat systems don't make a great follow up to a previously fantastic series, imo, and nor did recycling as much as they could from Oblivion and shoehorning it in either.

Enough with the F3 obsession already, K?

@crumbdunky

lol fallout came out long before oblivion...fallout and elder scrolls have been out for a long time before just xbox 360. I hate ignorent people like you.

anyway great article. I for one dont mind fallout being mentioned its funny, however when i played through i never nuked it and yet i destroyed tenpenny towers lol.

however i went on me mates saved file to see what it is like to nuke it. IT IS WORTH THE HYPE!! =D
