Final Verdict

Bioshock was my favorite game of last generation.
The game was perfect in almost every way from the awesome story that irrational told with memorable characters, and meaningful choices, to the dark and frantic combat that took place in an underwater city littered with horrible creatures begging for your blood.

Thank you for wording it right.
People randomly saying game to be on the first place they CLEARLY will not be looks silly.
I think TLOU, The Walking Dead S01, and Fallout are big contenders.

Portal has to win this.
IGN won't go with something like Spelunky or Geometry Wars which deserve more recognition than they get from mainstream websites and Portal is one of the most perfect experiences you can have. It really is better than 99% of games released this generation.

Bayonetta and Dark Souls better be in the top ten. They better be.
SSBB, Skyward Sword, Halo 3, and Skylanders far too high.

The only Naughty Dog game that isn't better than Vanquish is Jak X. And even that's pushing it.

Junior, please.
It can and is. It deserves to be there in my opinion.
This is a huge concern to me too. I can still lose myself in that game for days.

How do you even compare the two? One of them is pure gameplay, the other is more of a cinematic experience
By how much you liked it of course. I like chocolate more than vegetables. They are different but there is nothing wrong with that statement.

Oh yes, this will be a fun thread.
I can guess what won't be on there. Nier or Deadly Premonition. Vanquish at 95 is already a joke.

You better be thankful if Bayo makes it on at all.
You can compare them when you play Vanquish like it's a Naughty Dog TPS and think the lack of auto cover is less immersive.

Sure, if Mirror's Edge and The Last of Us didn't exist!
Def won't be Journey...but will be The Last of Us or Uncharted 2.

Last of Us or GTAV as number 1.
Controversy will be whether Fallout 3 beats Fallout:NV.

Halo 3 is #82? That's the funniest thing I've ever seen. So your telling me a game that was at the top of Xbox live leaderboards for years, probably 1/5th the life span of the 360, is #82? Lolololololololol.

There are a handful of games listed in #100 through #81 that are more worthy than TLOU.

Doesn't mean that it won't be #1 on IGN's list.
Think about it. This is IGN. Realistically, they're going to have the most popular games of last gen on top, like TLOU, GTA IV/V, Super Mario Galaxy, and probably Assassin's Creed II. Skyrim will likely be high on the list as well.

Can't wait to see TLOU at #1
And yes... Sleeping Dogs got robbed. Definitely should've cracked Top 30.

It could be GOTY last year, maybe. But yeah, it's probably going to be TLOU, even though Alan Wake was a better example of that style of game.
I don't care about the order, but I hope Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in TIme, Valkyria Chronicles, and LittleBigPlanet show up somewhere on the list. I can kind of seeing them all being forgotten though, except maybe LBP.
Also, petty or not, I'm a little pleased to see Brawl, Skyward Sword, and MKWii all relatively low on the list. Those were my biggest disappointments last gen (aside from Sonic 4, FFXIII, Super Paper Mario, and Other M, but I imagine none of those will be on the list at all).

Is currently staging a hunger strike outside Gearbox HQ while trying to hate them to death
Yea Nintendo's output has been the major letdown last gen for me, that includes the awful wii hardware.
I wonder if DLC will be factored into this, Minerva's Den should easily get BioShock 2 a top 20 place if so.
Wouldn't be my top five but I wouldn't argue with it

Truly. I don't get it. Things about it could have been trimmed down, but I found it to be a completely satisfying, fulfilling and engaging title. A Link Between Worlds was awesome, but it didn't give me the same sense of "fullness." It was a fun and quick game to play but I think it made me realize that I actually do prefer the direction the series has gone in instead of just being a simple "here you go, you're free, now explore little bird!" experience. I do like that and I'm fine with it. but the thing is, once you gain access to more of the world I still felt like it turned me loose and had a great sense of exploration so I didn't think that element was missing whatsoever, and the story was by far the best in the series.

Skyward Sword is top 10 material. Top 20 at the absolute lowest.
Smh IGN.

CoD must be the greatest game in existence then.

Red Dead Redemption was my personal favorite, it blew me away.
Skyward Sword was pretty bad in my opinion, only 3D Zelda I've yet to finish. I just couldn't take Fi's handholding anymore and while I appreciate Nintendo trying something new with the whole "the world itself is a puzzle instead of you just running from dungeon to dungeon" kind of thing, it didn't really work for me. The art style, music, and controls were all great, but I definitely don't think it deserves top 10, maybe not even top 100 (and this is coming from someone who's favorite series is Zelda).

Apart from the fact that it offers almost no challenge I agree.

No, one reviewer gave Skyward Sword a perfect 10. All the reviewers didn't get together and agree on that score.

The top of the list is less interesting to me than the lower 50 or so. We all know what games will be near the top, I like seeing games I may have missed for whatever reason.
