Best video games series ever?! Call of frickin Duty?!?!

Angry Birds?!

The Last of Us with exactly one game to the franchise?

FIFA, which is part of the constellation of sports games that show the least innovation in any game series in the world?

Need for Speed with its incredible downfall in quality since Hot Pursuit 2 beating Mario Kart which always delivers and still does?

Resident Evil, which is the only series that has managed to become more ridiculous and diluted for every installment since RE4?

Half-Life at spot 36?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

The only thing this list is good for is showing how ridiculously clueless the majority of the poll voters in question really are. I wonder if a single individual was over 14 years of age.

Kudos for The Witcher making an entry and at leats a shout-out to Pac-man though.

Okay, did anyone from this website vote? I mean we are actually gamers and how many of us would have voted for CoD over GTA, Mario, heck even of God of War.

If you ask the casuals, you get the casuals answer.

Hmm, pie.

Dpn't give yourself a heart attack. Its a stupi list. The amount of iconic games that list is missing is ridiculus. And there ar games on that list that I have never actually bothered seeing or didn't even know about. I mean street fighter/tekken? No wipeout.........

So now all it takes to get a record in the Guinness World Records is for a heap of people to vote online for you or your desired record-holder?

Used to be that Guinness World Records would have stringent standards, and find actual, true records.
