Well time to get that pit ready.
They can redeem themselves if Excite Truck is in the top 10.

To be fair, the handhelds would dominate more than half the list, and then how would IGN get that sweet dough from the AAA publishers?

1. Mass Effect 3
As much as I love that gif, I somehow can't remember what the "It's all a dream" text (in place of the 6/10) was a reference to.

*sigh* armor lock fucking up dem shortrange encounters... jetpack fucking up dat map design... and still, such a fun game. Wasn't Armor Lock pretty much fixed a few months in and made very situational?

1. Should be Mario Galaxy 2 but it won't be so I'm going to say this list is shit.
In a top 10 I would put things like CoD: Modern Warfare and Wii Sports, these are not necessarily the most refined but they're landmark titles and represent the 7th generation. They will also age better than anything else. I prefer to see these pure arcade games over immersive story games like Mass Effect, "experiences" such as Journey or sandbox (GTA/RDR)
My number 1 choice is Galaxy 2 but IGN will pick TLoU.

Brilliant game and I loved it, but halo 3 was better multiplayer.

And certain handheld RPGs should replace all console RPGs that this list will have.
you just have to be creative, like you can represent warner bros. with scribblenauts, or bioware with sonic chronicles

I'd say the top 5 will consist of
Bioshock
The Last of Us
Mario Galaxy
GTAV
Uncharted 2 (Possibly Demon's/Dark Souls instead)
Be realistic, I LOVE Vanquish but it's not that good. Should be top 20 tho.
Wait so IGN picked Okami over Resi 4 and SOTC? Did not know that

Of course. And Activision can get in with Roads to Victory, and Ubisoft with Asphalt 6 or something.
It's pretty weird they gave Skyward Sword a straight 10, saying "it's a masterpiece and OOT found its match", only to put it on the 88th place. Call me old fashioned but I'd think all the 10/10's IGN gave should make up the list accordingly.
For the record, SS kind of disappointed me and I personally wouldn't give it more than 8/10, but still. By the end of the list I'm pretty sure SS would be better than at least 50 games in this list. But thank God for different opinions, then.

bad gameplay lol
Anyone else like me and know their top 10 won't even make IGN's top 50?
i have faith in mirror's edge. i think that it will be in the top 50.
maybe team fortress 2, too. hard to say if they won't count that as the orange box though. if they do, then it should rank a lot higher.
Agreed. It should not even be in the list.

LOOLL as much as i love excite trucks i am 99,9% sure that won't make the list because ign. Also seeing my favorite last gen game Mario Kart Wii that low and no handhelds i will dig that hole next to you.
Exactly. Persona 5 hasn't even come out yet.
Sony.
persona 5, fairy fencer f, secret unannounced ps3 rpg, and what else?
i guess in terms of non exclusives, metal gear solid 5: nacho kinda people and destiny could make the grade.

No, that was Ryan O'Donnell, formerly of 1UP. He co-founded Area 5 with a couple of other former 1UP Show guys and last worked on the making of The Last of Us documentary, which was pretty awesome.

Seems the fun has already started.
Yup. TLOU, Journey, UC2, LBP are most likely going to be in the top 10.
Vanquish is nowhere close to TLOU. I did enjoy Vanquish as well though.

State of Decay at 92?
Have they lost all sense of reality? Good grief...

I agree. It just seems they gave it a 10 because it's Zelda. The hype SS generated was huge, I still remember the backlash Gamespot got for their review.

Now we're talking. But at any rate, seeing Vanquish so low does indeed not give me high hopes for this one.

Sleeping Dogs and Hot Pursuit are too low dammit! They should be in the top 30 at least. Good call on slipping Spec Ops in there though. That game's reputation has really blossomed since it released.
there is no chance in hell a Nintendo game will be nr1 in any last gen top
To be fair, one dude who works at IGN gave it a 10. They probably take a vote in the office then average it all out.

That was a very strange situation for me. OOT is my joint favourite game of all time, I played and loved every Zelda since that one but had absolutely no interest in SS. It just looked so bland and soulless, after reading all the glowing reviews I still just wasn't interested. The technical limitations of the Wii didn't help either.
Tales of Xillia 2 and Tales of Zesteria. I guess they're all RPG's. Persona 5 is pretty significant for me though. P4 is one of my all-time favorite games and it came out when the PS2 was also thought of as pretty much dead. P5 could follow the same pattern.
Going off IGN's stated criteria, I think CoD 4 ought to be #1. It checks all boxes authoritatively--innovation, influence, longevity, excellence, and uniqueness. The Last of Us probably shouldn't be in the top 5 (maybe even top 10). Gears, Uncharted, Dark Souls, Street Fighter 4, and Wii Sports ought to be ahead of it. I'm sure some others will come to mind as I post this.
I also expect handhelds will be mostly ignored and Journey will erroneously be placed in the top 50.

Are PC games included? I'm not clicking that link.
If not, then that's basically just a console list.
it's only ps3/360/wii. no pc games, no handheld games. just stinky old console games.
