Yeh i'd have to say Goldeneye should be a little closer to the top. It redefined the genre and I think it should be ahead of both Halo and Half-Life, which are both franchises that I love.

 

I know this comes up in every "best of" thread, but "best" does not mean "influential." "Best" means best. I know that Goldeneye redefined the genre, but there's been a ton of better console FPS's since.

 

 Well if I was to use that logic and make my own list hardly any games from previous gen would be in it. Best games of all team means how good of a game it was at it's time. It's obvious Halo 3 has a lot more features, HD graphics, and a long lasting appeal, but it wouldn't be fair to judge previous games simply because they were 6 years behind the timing of this post. People can correct me if i've missed the general conception in these "best XYZ of all time threads" on how to judge them, and if so i've confused a lot of ppl :P

Also, I was slightly surprised perfect dark wasn't in it. I guess if the launch title was a bit better it would have made it. Perfect Dark was badass for the N64!
