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?

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

Megaton! I knew that was #1 when I saw the title of the article. Great article by the way.

I get the feeling you guys only chose this top 7 to get to talk about blowing up Megaton some more.

I wonder how next week's Top 7 will integrate Fallout 3 and Megaton. Then, we'll have a whole month of discussion of Fallout 3 and nukes! Damn, I gotta play Fallout 3.

Nice article Mikel. Saw the title and my first thought was Megaton is number one for the same reason you gave, and all the Final Fantasy games for filler.

Oh man. I remember when my town was blown up. Probably one of the worst days I've ever had. Thanks for bringing up sad memories Mikel.

No Lahan? From the looks of these lists, no one at the GR staff has played a lick of Xenogears.

Loved the Final Fantasy entries!! So far, the only explosion I've witnessed is FF9, and Brahne looks more hideous in the TV. (You forgot about Alexandria! Oh wait, it wasn't really exploded.) Haha, "The Meteor called down by white-haired villain/geek sex symbol Sephiroth."

HOLY WASN'T DEUS EX MACHINA! It was...Uh...Magic. Look it totally makes sense in the context of the game, okay? Lifestream was tho'. Interesting top 7, but I did notice that only about two of them were actually towns. I expected moar obscure JRPGs. Golden Son or Breath of Fire or some shiz.

I bet this entire article was inspired by Fallout 3's Megaton. Awesome work anyways though.
