So they choose VII and Prime? Lol
Yeah but it seems clear to me they went for iconic games or 'game changers'. I can definitely see why they went with Wii Sports instead of Galaxy, given they already have Mario 64 (even though I'd rate Galaxy a lot higher as a game).
2000's seems legit. 2010's seems a little LOL :-D
no super metroid? wtf!
Ill be honest: For my money, Kings Quest III: To Heir Is Human is the greatest game of all time. Thats one mans opinion, of course, and without the original Kings Quest game, there couldnt have been a third Kings Quest game (which, as I mentioned, is the greatest game of all time that might just be nostalgia talking, but lets go with it).
Wait, what?ctrl-F pokemon

No Dragon Quest.

No Donkey Kong Country.
No Earthbound.
No Wind Waker.
No Galaxy.
No Thousand Year Door.
No SMT/Persona.
Just about no Western RPGs of note.
Final Fantasy VII and Tactics as the representatives of that series is a poor choice, too.
If that's the case, then where are Dragon Quest and Pokemon? Those games are far more iconic and influential than 90% of that list.

Agreed.. some of these games I have no idea what they are (namely, Marathon and Myth) or have no clue how they were influential (Wing Commander, Paperboy). Not sure what exactly this list is trying to be.
Disagree about the "no western RPGs of note", at least they have the best one on there (Ultima IV).
No Ocarina of Time?
No Ocarina of Time. No Resident Evil 4. No Super Mario Galaxy. No Super Metroid.
You are talking about some of the most talked about, highest ranked, beloved games out there.
Meh, it's Time on gaming. That's like if GAF made a list on TOP 10 sex positions.
To much love for crappy 80s and 70s game in that list.
