Halo was credited with having an "iconic character, excellent level design, perfect controls, and unparalleled multiplayer options." Call of Duty's jaw-dropping set pieces drew Guinness' praise, and Zelda's immersive, accessible gameplay helped make it a fan favorite.

The people have spoken. I guess I agree on number 1.

Fallout ahead of Final Fantasy? Yeah, I know that WRPGs are stomping JRPGs all over the place, and I love Fallout 1 and 2 as much as anyone, but I'd bet the majority of the people who voted for Fallout have only played Fallout 3.

The people can be wrong. Its just a popularity vote. Still, I wonder if it ruins somebody's day.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
Crap crap list.

But this does prove that Activision is doing a smart thing (for their pockets) by making a new Goldeneye for Wii. People still care about it.

LBP the highest ranked Sony franchise.

As it should be ;)

Should have been higher overall though. Obvs.

Oh dear, seems some people don't understand what franchise means. Someone pass the salt, I need a pinch of it to go with this list.
WTF BARBEQUE I DONT EVEN

You would think that some of the voters would know. BBQ son of the bitch
 
Why is it listed as World of Warcraft, though? As if Warcraft didn't exist prior to the MMO...

But yeah, this list is almost as funny as last week's E3 game list. :lol
