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.

 

So then, could you please redefine 'best'?

This sounds a bit like a contradiction to me, it is placed 6th but there are ton's of better fps's since...?

Either you judge them contemporary or just put the old ID games and n64 shooters last.

 

Who needs to redefine? Relevant definition from dictionary.com:

"1.of the highest quality, excellence, or standing: the best work; the best students."



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
