just looked through the top 20 for now and the list seems fine. There are a good 30 games that could go on my top 10 list of all time depending on when you ask me and from the ones they listed all but grand theft auto 4 and shadow of colossus would never made it. While portal wasn't the fullest game, it defenitly was a gem among this generation. I'll give an example as to why its understandable that its above some more critically acclaimed games this gen. Uncharted 2 and mass effect 2 might be more complete experiences but with the huge number of quality tps games released this gen, I would rather uncharted and mass effect not exist than Portal.
Grand Theft Auto 4 gets a lot of undeserved hate, but it really shouldn't be considered a top 10 game. The transition from grand theft auto san andreas to grand theft auto 4 is exactly what you don't want to happen with improved hardware. Drastically improve graphics at the expence of content...
IMO shadow of colossus is a pretty overrated game from my limited experience with it. Story and atmosphere can't make a game. It needs to be fun to play as well.
I don't agree with half of the 20-11 but i could see why other people would vote them at their positions.
