I actually am quite suprised that Super Paper Mario appeared, even being in 136th. Take that haters!

I gave it #42 on my list.

Here's some other interesting things I've noticed:

  • Where's the Blizzard Love?: Other than WarCraft III (which deservedly earned its 44th spot), every other Blizzard game was down YoY. StarCraft, one of the most beloved and influential games... not in the top 50? Diablo II, a beloved classic... not in the top 100? WarCraft II not even in the top 250? Where's the Blizzard love guys?

Not too many PSP gamers out there. Give it time for games like Catherine and Bayonetta, not everyones had a chance to play them ( I just bought Bayonetta recently). Sucks for Nier and Jeanne D'Arc, they will be unappreciatted for a while.

Have you played Drakengard? By the makers of Nier, It's amazing!

Heres my list of games that I voted for that didn't make it

1. Mario Party 2
14. Front Mission DS
16. Kirby's Dream Course
19. Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising
30. Forza Motorsport 4
40. Stunt Race FX
46. Counter Strike: Source
48. Front Mission 4
49. Drakengard

The first one is the better one. Why do you like Nier so much more then Drakengard? Did you get far in the game? It really picks up.

Nier and Drakenguard are completely different. While connected loosely on one of the endings, they're completely different in all other ways.

I know that, but they both have the same type of atmophere, don't day? I haven't played Nier, but I plan to, and I imagine that it would feel like Nier.

So why don't you like Drakengard?

I enjoyed Drakengard, but having played hundreds of games, it didn't fit into my top 50. I'd like to think that you can still enjoy titles (as I did) that fall outside of your favorites.

Lol, okay. It barely made my list too. However I am looking forwards to Nier. Only $5 now, I can easily sell it for the same, so there is no risk with this purchase.
