Hey, you're the one who copy pasted the names of the publishers if it meant something. They were clearly successful in passing the message that this list somehow represented some consensus between those publications, at least with one person - you. I don't you were the only one, by the way.
| rocketpig said: Is the Hall of Fame voter for the LA Times supposed to take a poll around the office before casting his or her vote? No, even if that person is a representative for that publication (and only gets to vote because of their status at said publication), they vote based on their opinion. It may not be perfect but no list is ever going to be perfect. |
I know I would. I would not in good conscience represent my company based only in my personal opinion. I wouldn't just stick to the company line irregardless of my own standing either, but it's not that hard a balance to find.

All of those games on that list are great or have great elements to them. I couldn't care less what order they are put in, they're all getting the recognition they deserve. |
The reason I'm ranting about it is not because I make a sport out of dropping to my knees and sucking off Nintendo, thank you very much. I'm ranting because I don't think this list represents what it's meant to represent - a consensus between game critics. And unless personal biases got in the way, it's simply inconsistent with what these publications and critics have said throughout the year.
And I'm sure you won't find me bashing any game from that list - they're all great games, that's for sure.
