No Final Fantasy VII or VIII in the top 50?! Incredible. Call of Duty 4 should be pretty high too. I know it is quite a recent game, but its on-line community is still going strong after all this time – still a joy to play.

Couldn’t be bothered with 100 clicks so don’t know if The Last Ninja, Turrican, R-Type, Bubble Bobble, Double Dragon, Streets of Rage, Flashback, Timesplitters 2, Medal of Honour, NiGHTS, Panzer Dragoon, Outrun or Marvel vs Capcom 2 made the cut!!

Everquest missed out !!! what a joke IGN site is
Where do they get these so called gamers

Over a million subscribers, the game has been running since 1999 FFS

FFXI Should get a look in as well, awesome cut scenes

I think these so called Editors are desk jockies not gamers

MMORPGs are games where you have to play for a while to appreciate. I played GW for like 3 years and I basically did the storyline and then moved onto PvP. PvP in the very simplest of terms is like an online FPS and replace guns with spells.

PvE was just a repetitive boring grind, and when you say a game is boring yet carry on doing it, you should know there’s a problem.

I do NOT agree with a lot of these games, altho there are some well-placed. I would’ve move in games like Ultima Online, Diablo 2 and maybe a few Final-Fantasy parts.

Frustrating that at the end you can’t review them all at once, but I guess that is to keep people from just linking that, and them losing a lot of click-through traffic? While reading through, I felt like there were a surprising number of “good choice!” moments (Final Fantasy Tactics ranking deservedly high), some “i suppose so…” (Ms. Pac) moments and then the inevitable “huh?” (Shadow of the Colossus, great game but way too high given its company in the TEENS – hasn’t even had time to be of significant influence like some of the other less iconic games on the list)

Of the above-mentioned games, I agree with a few of them: Ultima Online for certain, Oblivion for certain, Everquest (though I didn’t care so much for it myself, it kicked things off in much the same way other games on the list kicked off their respective genres)

A friend once told me kung fu fighting was rated as the number one song of all time on a list that was made the year it came out. I never confirmed it but it does show that sometimes something can be too new to make the list. Although MMORPGs have been out long enough.

Where were the games like CounterStrike Source and other fps’s that basically rule the entire FPS genre on PC?
