What a terrible list.

..... Skyward Sword?

Really?



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

They gave Chrono Trigger a 7.....a frieken 7!!!!! I remember why I never bothered with that magazine as a kid.

Gran Turismo, Halo 3, Little Big Planet, and GTA4 don't belong in the best 100 games of the last 20 years much less the top ten. The rest I agree with though.

Someone said they do not get why Bayonetta is being complained about. Seriously? Has anyone ever seen that on any top ten lists?

Yes, how dare they not conform to what others have previously listed?

Cruisn USA, Nightmare on Elm Street NES, Number Munchers, Swashbuckler ( APPLE II), Turbo Wii edition, Cursed Mountain, Lethal Weapon GB edition, Goldeneye 64, Tetris, Freaky Flyers.

 

My list. How do you like it? It does not conform, but does it make any sense at all? Would anyone else consider these games to be the best ever? Sure, pick whatever random game that you like just becaue you know it will get hits. Just do not be a respectable website or magazine. Or human being.

If that's what you believe, you're perfectly entitled to your opinion. Not everyone's afraid of being different.

I just do not like it when sites like this pick random games, either because there editors cannot decide, do not want to make the public mad, or just want hits. I have never heard anyone say Bayonetta is on their top ten list. They had to come to a group decision on this. They are saying that most of there staff enjoyed Skyward sword and bayonetta enough to put on this list?  Wow! I wish Congress could do that.

They're not picking random games, they're picking games they awarded a 10/10.

Bayonetta definitely deserves its space there. GTA4 is the only one I disagree with.

Disagree with GTA4, but not Rock Band 3?  Hmmm...

GTA 4? HALF LIFE 2? THE ORANGE BOX? HALO 3? FUCKING ROCK BAND 3? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA
Not to be a dick but this list is a joke. Honestly. The games I just listed above are among the most overrated I've ever played. Hell, The Orange Box isn't even a game. It's 3 games, HALF LIFE 2 BEING ONE OF THEM I MIGHT ADD.
I don't know how to feel about this list. I might sound like a condescending jerk but can you expect me to take a list that has Halo 3 as one of the greatest games on it? The greatest games of the last twenty years? Here's mine.

Super Metroid, Metroid Prime, Earthbound, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy, TLOZ: Ocarina of Time, TLOZ: Majora's Mask, TLOZ: Wind Waker, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Skyrim, GTA: San Andreas, Batman Arkham City, Kingdom Hearts 2, Sly 2: Band of Thieves, Uncharted 2, Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, Rayman Origins.

Boom.

 

You cannot be taken seriously when you list Skyrim over Half Life 2. What a joke. Half Life 2 did a lot of things when it came out. 


Did I say it didn't do anything? I understand it was remarkably innovative for the time, but now? It's a pretty basic game in my opinion. There are far better adventure FPS titles. And Skyrim is a great action RPG. I don't understand why it gets so much hate, I loved it from the beginning all the way to the end. Sure the story telling is pretty bad, but the true experience comes from exploring and doing side quests. I think it's all a matter of preference.

Skyward Sword and many more should not have made it either. I feel like they just added Nintendo just to add them. Ocarina deserved it.


 It's not a top ten list.
