Top 100 Games Of All Time Decided - Again

Posted by simoniker on from the where's-escape-from-the-planet-of-the-robot-monsters? dept.

Thanks to submitter Brad1138, who points out an article at MSNBC.com about a new list of the top 100 games ever. This time it was staffers at Entertainment Weekly and the games TV station G4 who decided the list, and the article only mentions the 5 highest-rated titles, which include Legend Of Zelda, Doom and Tetris. Which games would you have included in your list?

  1. IGN's list by jvmatthe · · Score: 5, Informative

    IGN is doing something similar just these past few days. Here's their list, which they haven't completely revealed yet (as of this writing): Top 100 Games.

    Blah blah blah everyone has an opinion blah blah blah no one can agree on best games blah blah blah it's all subjective.

    Err, the new games section was just launched. Notice the purple?

    If you've set your preferences for all section articles to spill over into the main page, you're going to see a lot of game news in the future.

  3. Ask Wil Wheaton about G4 by rickwood · · Score: 3, Informative

    I used to put G4 on in the background quite often while I was working. The commercials, being mostly about games, were at least less annoying than commercials for cars or tampons. I like to hear people talking when I'm doing chores, so that's why TV instead of music.

    Anyway, after some exposure to the channel, I found Arena. I would actually sit and watch this show because A) Wil was on it and B) I thought the idea of the competition was cool. For those unfamiliar, Arena was a computer and console game competition between two teams of four. (theoretically, anyway, see Wil's journal)

    Then Wil wasn't on anymore. I thought, "Oh maybe he's doing a movie or something and that's why they put these two pretty boys on the show." Then I read the above /. journal by Wil. I have not put on G4 even once since then.

    Message to G4: Wil Wheaton has a posse!
