  1. 4 of the top ten are Final Fantasy? by Gr8Apes · · Score: 4, Funny
    What was the question worded like?
    • Finally, what was your favorite fantasy game of all time? (Don't forget to add which sequel if your answer is "Final Fantasy"!)

    The cesspool just got a check and balance.
  2. Not again... by lightspawn · · Score: 4, Insightful

    * my favorite isn't on the list, so it can't be "right"!
    * the list is biased toward older / newer / console / PC / handheld / RPG / arcade / puzzle games!
    * the list doesn't mean anything, lists like this never do (of course they don't)
    * oh man, I completely forgot that game, that was fun.

    Lists like that are compiled regularly. It's hardly news, but hey, if it reminds you of a game you haven't played in years or lets you know of a gem you'd never have known about otherwise...

  3. No Katamari Damacy? by RobertB-DC · · Score: 5, Funny

    No Katamari listed in the top 100 Japanese games? Outrageous! We are most displeased!

    Where was cousin Ace? Playing Animal Crossing (#43)?
    We have no idea what you are talking about.

    Stressed? Me? Of course not. Stress is what a rubber band feels before it breaks, silly.

    The real winners here are Roman Numerals.
