I know we can criticize any list but they don't have SMB3 on their. It seems their intent was to find one game out of a series, or whatever you can call a series for 10 years, then ignore the others. They didn't even weight them. Just like the first. Should have just said 'x' series and we would have gotten the point. SMB and not SMB3 is crazy. But SMB3 released in 1990 (WTF, Japan got it 2 years prior?). Still, a landmark game in platformers. Just unable to ignore it. But I can understand why they did it. I can make that argument a few times on this list.
it seems like they fell into the trap of measuring impact and cultural importance... i mean rock band AND guitar hero... as well as angry birds... initial high review scores and sales for ME3 makes it appear like an amazing game, but it's not quite there.
i think they were deceived in some of the recent years.

Missing Uncharted 2, but otherwise a pretty good list.

No Dragon Quest/Dragon Warrior games, no Final Fantasy games before 7, and Chrono Trigger was the game that "inducted battalions of computer-less tweens to console roleplaying?" Sure...
Even if they're only going for "one game per series/per significant change in series," it doesn't excuse making it sound like console RPGs didn't exist at all before 1995.

"Top 100 games that always make Top 100 games lists."
Of the Gamerankings all-time ranking, the first game to appear in this list is number 8, Metroid Prime. That's... interesting. I can see how they chose the most impactful games as a games 'canon' and not the best games, but OoT seems to have changed the game design culture enough to have warranted a listing.
The 2010 list is beyond horrible. Is that all that we've been able to come up with in that time.
Also I am completely at a loss as to how Arkham City was rated so highly, decent enough game but man I just don't get the hype. Mass Effect 3, lol.
Wait I just noticed angry Birds, urrrgh. And what the hell is desktop tower defence???

wait
wii sports and not SMG1 or 2
I actually agree more with Wii Sports being on there than the Galaxy games, though they are pretty great!
Cave Story is the exception here, and that's good enough for me
Your right, it's actually a very good game, The hatred for the game is insane.
They should have put it on the list but since they were only putting one game from a franchise on the list It's not a bad choice.

Both are games that are better than Ocarina of Time and Mario Galaxy, clearly!
I had it wrong all this time.
Making my own list now with QWOP at number one and slime volleyball at number 2.
It's a list for games, not hat simulators.
FFVII is on the list, ME3 is listed because it seems they wanted to list an Mass Effect game.
83 for me.
this list isn't terrible, but it does have a lot of dubious omissions and questionable choices.

FFVII is there.
Why would you do that?

There are a few games that seem like are missing. I mean, no offense to awesome games like Katamari Damacy or Braid, but putting them on the list while not adding any Zelda game besides the first? They probably have a one game per franchise rule in place, but still, both Zelda 1 and Zelda OoT were very notable in their own way.

Would have been good had they included RE4, Ocarina of Time and maybe Windwaker. The lack of F-Zero stings, but it doesn't surprise me. I don't think I see a single racer in the 2000s.
Edit: No Smash Melee too? Lemme stop looking at this list right now.

Having this but no OoT, Kingdom Hearts or Mario Galaxy makes me sad.
Wii Sports may have been iconic and important, but AS A GAME it is shallow and leaves a lot to be desired.
I dunno. I think I like the first two Katamari games more than almost every Zelda and I like that series.
metroid prime made the list though. :/ i know they didn't want to fill the list up with sequels but not including super metroid or zelda a link to the past is crazy.

Lack of Ocarina of Time pretty much invalidates the entire list. What a shocking omission.
Nintendo dominates those lists for a very good reason.

Glad to see Wing Commander get some love, it's often forgotten in these lists.

LOL pretty much all these types of threads.
I agree. I"m a huge Nintendo fan as well. It's just nice to have diversity. We've had those list way too much already.

Replace Pac-Man with Ms. Pac-Man or Pac-Man CE...

Terrible list. Horrible. I can't believe they forgot [Game_I_Love].
Ms. Pac Man sure, but CE didn't come out in the 80's.
