personal enjoyment is just one way to define "better".  But personal enjoyment isn't a great way to judge anything, because personal enjoyment depends on numerous factors that are irrelevent to said thing (i.e. did you have a good night sleep, were you hungry, were you in an argument with a random person on vgchartz etc.  These can effect your emotions which can effect enjoyment). 

That's the only way we can we can go by lists like these though, unless we simply do the greatest games of all time by the highest selling games or the games with the highest Metascores.

To give you an example, I prefer uncharted 2 over 3/4.  I enjoyed the story more, I feel like the pacing was much better in 2.  I feel like the "improvements" in 3/4 took away from the experience rather than improve it.  I could go on, but this is one way to judge a game which is by its contents.  If you got a panel of like 20 members, you could go through various games and judge them all by the contents.  Not by their influence, or personal experience, but by objectively looking at the contents of games and determining which one is superior.
