... it's a horrid list IMO. There's so much wrong with it I don't know where to begin. Firstly, Black Ops #1? Yeah, shooting zombies, what a GREAT ending! Far better than #11, Super Mario Bros. (I welled up at that one. So sad!). And why is Sonic the HEdgehog on the list? And you'll be hard-pushed to find ANY JRPG on that list, let alone a Final Fantasy...
This strikes me as though they went out and asked some random guys for popular games, or their favourite games. Not the endings. This is a popularity contest in the extreme IMO. So wrong. But what do you think? What's YOUR favourite videogame ending of all time? Maybe we could create our own list and show Guinness what a proper ending is like.
