Ocarina of Time, Halo, Goldeneye, Final Fantasy VII, etc. etc. transcended games and became phenomenons. The Last of Us isn't even close. Uncharted 2 is closer.

The Last of Us could be top 50, but 1? No way. By the way before you say I am biased I am a Sega fanboy and I don't think Shenmue deserves to be top 10 either.

Think of it this way - Halo is the only reason Xbox is still even around. It was truly a $350 game. Love it or hate it, it has had a huge impact on the industry, and is a great game to boot.

Good post.  Agreed pretty much word for word.

Have to add to the circlejerk here . Last of Us was a highly refined game, but hardly groundbreaking or properly definitive. The excellence it achieved was similar to, say, Mario Galaxy 2 (compared to Galaxy 1 which was groundbreaking); polished in its excellence, but unambitious in some respects.
