VGChartz's top five open world games - Results are in! Detailed results inside

[VAMatt]

By this standard, half of the games on the list need to be removed.  In my list, I used the criteria that the player has the theoretical ability to go to most of the map(s) in the game at any time.  In many games, the fact that you'll be killed in one hit by the enemies in certain places, or inability to fast travel in the beginning, or what have you, makes it impractical to go everywhere.  But, if it is theoretically possible to visit most of the map from the beginning, its open world to me.
