The Top 100 Games of the 21st Century

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i-love-a-good-list-in-the-morning dept.

Ground Glass writes "Most top ten or top 100 lists are pure opinion, and thus a source of great debate as their objectivity is questioned by everyone with a personal favorite. Next Gen has chosen a different route — this is the top 100 games on PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Gamecube, calculated since the start of the decade by unit sales in America." As you'd expect, GTA, Halo, and Madden are in the top ten ... but did you know Smash Brothers Melee has sold 3.2 million units? Interesting stuff.

    I feel the need to give props to their mambo server and its graceful admit of defeat. At least it doesn't just time out perpetually.
    Perhaps we should all email the administrator as suggested ?

    ...but I was under the impression that there were still 94 1/2 years left in the 21st century.

    The list is already out! Piratebay already has a "Top 100 PC Games" liste.

    People bought the game for the game. People did not buy Windows for Solitaire.

    Damn right. They bought Windows for Minesweeper.

    And does it really make sense to offer a Top 100 of ANYTHING where we're only five years into the 21st centry?

    Sure it does... there won't be any new games made after Jack Thompson shuts the video game industry down for good later this year!
