I knew this was an inevitability as soon as Prince of Persia started getting much better reviews than the standard VG adaptation fare.

Couple of things to note:

They only include movies in these best of (or worst of) lists that have a certain minimum number of reviews. So Advent Children isn't in the list, even though it would probaboly be up there in the top 10.

The order of the list isn't simply determined by the RT score (gross % of positive reviews), they do some tricky statistical calculation to take account of the number of reviews a movie has received (a movie with a lot of reviews will be higher up the list of best movies than another movie with the same score but a lot fewer reviews). So for example Mortal Kombat has a pretty good RT% score (for a VG adaptation that is) but it's lower down the list than movies with a lower RT% score.

Some of the comments are funny. See if you can spot the person who is channeling Mr Ebert. (Hint it's the one that's condescending towards gamers).
