    I wonder if there could ever be a best game list where someone from DP doesn't bitch about it.

    Impossible. In fact, if anybody has the actual magazine read the letter from the editor at the beginning. Andy McNamera says he anticipates everything of this sort to happen and more or less says "suck it" in more pleasant language.

    This is like Newton's 4th Law: For every list there will be bitching.

    Not as long as kupomogli is around.

    But really, with 200 chances to complain it's pretty hard not to find a point of contention.

    No, and it's because of the whole arrogant "best of all time" thing. Simply call them your favorites and instantly no one can argue (maybe just accuse you of bad taste).

    You nailed it. Surprised so many people here missed this exact point.

    I agree with this point wholeheartedly.

    Whatever happened to the good old days when GameSpy editors or somebody would sit around and talk smack to each other after the editorial about why the game actually belonged on the list? They didn't pretend that it was democracy in action or the greatest thing since the Messiah or whatever.

    I read this a couple of days ago when I got my issue in the mail and like all lists it leaves something to be desired. I wish, like always, more obscure games make the list but heck save for WoW, Morrowind, and a few others the list was "aight".

    I thought it was really weird that Half Life 2 was #5. MAYBE it deserves to be on the list....but number 5?

    i was a little bothered to see MW2 on there as its just more generic shooter crap and if they were to put a game from 09 on there why not Demon's Souls? I found it quite different than most of the newer games, it was nice to see a game like that again

    I don't understand why they called Sonic 2 the best Sonic game ever and better than Sonic 1, despite being 20 something spots behind Sonic 1.

    Virtua Fighter. Phantasy Star. Fucking Dragon Quest! Virtua Tennis. Virtua Racing. DAYTONA MOTHER FUCKING USA!!!! Space Harrier. Not a single Shinobi game. Golden Axe. Outrun. Sega got NO love, and yet all those games I just mentioned are better than 1/3 of the entire list.

    Tempest 2000 was the only Jag game on there. AVP should have been on there. No King of Fighters

    SIX Final Fantasy games?! They mislabel FFIV and FFVI by their USA names?

    No Descent. No Wipeout. Resident Evil 4 was too high, RE and RE2 WAY too low. Super Metroid should have been in the Top 10 no questions asked. They mention how Metroid is what started it all, and how influential several games were.... Virtua Fighter is in the fucking Smithsonian!!
    this. no Street of Rage 2 or 3? Virtua Fighter?

    these lists just seem like flame bait.

    I apologize if this has been covered already, but the absolute worst part of this list is that it's not backwards! No suspense leading down, they start at one. Has any list ever not been backwards? None that I have seen.

    And Twilight Princess is a lot better than 90.

    It's either flame-bait or a just a middle finger to every Sega fan ever. I have the GI issue now, and I can't believe a) how few Sega games there are (9?!? Are you shitting me?) and b) how low the top Sega game is (Sonic 1 at #34?!).

    Seriously. What the hell?

    This topic seems like little more than a reason to bitch that someone else's opinion is different than yours. It just seems like a powder keg to me, just waiting to go off in an explosion of expletives.

    Back on topic, I'm actually surprised that there are so many older games on the list, seeing that GameStop can't make money on older games.

    Unfortunately that can be said for any "top whatever" games list made by any website.

    That's why it's the top 200 list. Throw random games in there from many generations and throw a few recently released games to try and push sales. They can't really throw 50-100 new release games or people are obviously going to know what's up, but around five or so and most likely Gamestop pulled a sale from those who believed the list. I wonder how many people bought Modern Warfare 2 after reading and because of this list.
    Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.
