All I know is from THAT list i've beaten 40 games
I agree there are too many newer games on it and I could compile my own personal list of 200 games

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.
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 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.
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.

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.
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.
