There's no Deadly Premonition or Deathsmiles, what's going on here.

[Guest dpddave]

FF7 33rd on the list and the only FF game in the top 100? Crazy.

[Guest John Hancock]

This list is incorrect. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is, undebateably, factually, scientifically, provably, the best game ever, there is no possible debate on the matter. Anyone who says otherwise is equal parts wrong, stupid and gay.

[Guest Magic]

Tetris number 5? I'll take that.

 

And I love Super Mario Bros with all my heart, so I'm content.

[The Fury 65]

god of war should be in top 50.

[Fletch 204]

It's completely and utterly wrong.

 

The fact Sonic The Hedgehog only just broke the Top 50 and behind Angry F'in Birds is a joke. Sonic and Mario revolutionised console gaming in the early 90s.

Super Street Fighter IV even being in the top 100 is horrendous. Amazing games like Streets of Rage, WWF No Mercy, Kill Instinct, Perfect Dark and Goldenaxe didn't make it but f***ing Words with Friends did?

 

 

Yeah G4 know naff all about gaming.

[Guest Fatherof10minis]

Wasn't grand theft auto vice city the most successful of the series and yet its not ranked.

 

Im satisfied with super mario bros as #1 but like already said one final fantasy game in the top 100 huh???

[Guest Edgehead]

That list is complete b****cks. How are games like Mike Tyson's punchout ahead of games like Arkham City

[etz 78]

That list is so full of bullshit it doesn't deserve comment beyond stating that..

[dsrchris 190]

Bioshock at number 3? GTFO.

[Omega 354]

Which super mario bros? The very first one? Get out...

[dsrchris 190]

If it was Super Mario World on the SNES, then I'd at least say it stood a chance of being number one, but the first one just isn't all that.

 

In fact looking through that list I call bullsh*t on at least 50-60% of it.

[Omega 354]

was my point of view exactly SMW is probably the best platformer ever and I say that as an avowed Sega/Sonic Fanboy.

[Guest Boyo]

No Flashback, no Road Rash, no Settlers, no Sim City, no FIFA, no chance of being taken seriously.

 

Cheers!

[dsrchris 190]

Yeah, if it ain't got Road Rash then it most definitely isn't a list of great games.

 

Why don't they make a new version of that instead of a half a*sed Syndicate that isn't that much like Syndicate?

[Guest Michael 378]

Pokemon too low. Nba jam shouldn't be on the list at all. But overall a good list

[Guest Fatherof10minis]

Why is words with friends on the list?

 

And how can wii sports be on the list? Wasn't that available free with most wii's?.

[dsrchris 190]

NBA Jam most definitely SHOULD be on the list. That game took a full 2 years of my childhood away from me, and I loved every second.

[Guest 3BigDen]

No wcw vs nwo revenge? Malarchy!!

[Guest 3BigDen]

Red dead redemption should atleast be in the top 20. Also were is star wars Battlefront, that game is underrated.
