While FPS are the most popular games right now, platformers have suffered a drought of awesome games for quite a while. Therefore, I don't think we will see too many sites tearing the scores down. On another note, I think it is interesting that after gamerankings, the best 3D installments of the three main Nintendo hardcore single-player series have been released on three different platforms: Zelda OoT on the N64, Metroid Prime on the Cube and Galaxy on the Wii. |
I would definately agree with this... just the fact that it is a platformer, a genre that has been starved for long will in fact boost the scores a lot.
Not that the rankings realy matters in the end, the only interesting thing about them imo is to compare games within the same genre. There is just no way you can compare a score between genres since people have preferences on genres in the first place.
