The problems with these lists is that there aren't any real criteria.
There's really only two ways to measure it: either by favorites, or by importance. You can't make an objective list for "best," so don't even try; just call it favorites. But if you want to make a "greatest" list, do it as objectively as possible, using popularity, influence, cultural importance, etc.
And in those terms, this list is AWFUL. No original SMB, no Pokemon, no GT, no the Sims, no Wii Sports, no Sonic, GTAIV instead of GTAIII? But tons of stuff that just amounts to hardcore favorites instead. Pretty useless if this is anything but a group of editors favorite games.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
