| noname2200 said: That's an interesting find you have there. I'm honestly a little surprised at those numbers, but not because I don't think there are plenty of quality Wii games out there. Instead, the reason ties into why I would be a little cautious about using that list in the future: it's "Top 100 titles" are composed of limited and subjectively selected games. What I mean by that is that NextGen, like Metacritic and its ilk, have ratings created exclusively by young male gamers who are already enthusiastic about games, so the list's mileage may vary. As an example, we can all agree that Wii Sports is a large part of what first got many of the new gamers interested in our hobby, so obviously it appeals to them far more than a Halo or Call of Duty. And yet its metacritic ranking is somewhere in the mid-70s, placing it just above Chessmaster Live... |
I have admired and greatly appreciated your contributions to this thread and I have learned a lot. However in this one case I will dispute you on the ranking system used for those charts. In this case at least, Next Generation apparently went strictly by sales. The score is also given but has no effect on ranking. You may enjoy perusing the list of the top 100 games of the last 12 months, even Cooking Mama slipped in there. It should be noted that it is a compilation of NA and European sales.
