Yeah, I agree orange Box is mostly a shooter. I only mentioned Portal (as opposed to Orange box) because for me, when I read orange box it gets pronounced in my head as 'portal' :P

I also didn't initially realise that this list was created by you rather than copy/pasted from a wesbite - if I had realised, I woulda made the same point but perhaps been a bit more polite about it :P I would hesitate to call many game 'must plays' I would reserve the term for games that have such a phenomenal impact upon the gaming industry that to not play it is to not be able to appreciate other games as much. Mario 64 and Goldeneye spring to mind, FFVII and Wii Sports eagerly put their hands up, but I look them up and down several times, like a bouncer deciding whether it's worth calling the cops on the guy with the fake id

No worries. I didnt take it personally. :)

I plan to keep the list going for the rest of the gen. So games will drop out of the top 10. Essentially new ones will crop up. Hopefully by the time next gen starts we will have what according to 'Metacritic' is the essential purchases this gen has had.

Good to hear

 

Sounds interesting. Are portable games going to be included? (if any actually get sufficient metacritic scores that is... Actually, they probably would have in rpg if they were going to in anything)

I think we should have a seperate thread for Portable top 10 lists. What do you think? Maybe someone else could run and edit that one based on Meta?
