The Top 10 Most Entertaining Speedruns

There are games that are downright fun to play, and then there are games that are downright fun to play fast! Now not many have the patience, time, skill and resources to play like a real pro. Luckily there are those who do. Speedrunning has quickly turned into a popular gaming 'sport'. It's simple: beat a game, or part thereof, in as fast a time as possible.

With something like Solitaire it's not really all that interesting, but whizzing past the Mushroom Kingdom as a plumber who thinks he's some sort of speedy hedgehog... now that's entertainment! Among a wide, diverse and ever increasing number of speedruns, here are Thunderbolt's top 10 that you just have to see to believe; they are all in a single word: unreal.

who don't know the pics in the article are links to the videos, just click on them. And I think the most impressive vid is the Super Metroid speed run.

That guy has some gaming skills.

The Mega Man X & X2 is made of pure awesomness. The Mario 64 made me laugh - can you say glitch? Great videos nonetheless.

If we are talking about speed runs. How about a little love for the crazy Japanese people that beat the different resident evil games at paces which boggle my mind. I mean...a little love for the Tofu speed run in RE 2 is all i'm saying.
