You should have this pattern down by now. But, just in case you're new here...

GameFAQs keeps extensive server logs detailing every single web hit the site has received since October of 1998. In other words, it's possible to tell exactly how many times a given page is hit over the course of a day, week, month, or year. In fact, that's where the daily Top 50 Games list comes from, as well as the Top 10 list on the home page. Each game with one or more FAQs or Codes has its own "FAQ List" page, and it is these pages that are added up to represent the top games on the site.

So, when you tally up all of the hits over the course of the entire year of 2002, what were the most popular games of the year? And could you guess them?

Nobody's managed to pick the Top 10 perfectly yet, but is this the year that all changes?

Remember, the contest isn't to pick the most popular games that came out this year, nor to choose your 10 favorite games, but to select the 10 FAQ List pages that received the most hits throughout the entire year of 2002.
