    The entire thing reads like a freaking Square-Enix ad. When you remember that DragonQuest (3 of the top 10 slots) is also a Square-Enix game, you get seven out of the top 10 being Square-Enix games.

    I'm thinking this was a poll conducted by Square-Enix to the members of the Square-Enix Fan-Club. The only Final Fantasy game that doesn't appear on the list is Final Fantasy XI - which is good, because it's widely considered one of the worst MMORPGs of all times!

    With the exception of Civilization, none of the games you mentioned feature the min-maxxing gameplay that the readership of Famitsu tends to go gaga over.

    While we played Doom I & II, Quake, Heretic, Wolfenstein, Unreal

    they played Final Fantasy, Zelda, Dragon Quest

    its a culture thing.
