How Pokemon Snap got 257th is beyond me.

Great job on the list can't imagine how much work this took.

Both the positioning of a game in a top 50, as well as how many times a game appears across multiple lists is important to how the game is ranked overall.

1. gets you 1 point. 50. gets you 50 points. If a game doesn't appear in a list it gets 75 points. The less points the better. Tiebreakers go to the game who has more votes.

Seeing your thread brings a tear to my eye. So much effort! Congratulations Smeags.

Damn I've only played 49 of those...

Nice list. All three Mass Effect games in the Top 100. :)

Sonic CD being below Sonic Heroes though is a bit saddening. Sonic Heroes on the list in general is interesting in itself.

Nostalgia, brand-recognition and the fact that it was one of the first 3D platformers ever, I imagine. Some people are quick to forgive flaws in a game if it was revolutionary, especially so if they played and liked it back then. Same with Goldeneye and FFVII making it into the top 50, I suppose.

I played it when the N64 was still current-gen and I never liked it much. The Banjo games did the 3D platformer genre so much better.

Anyways, it looks like played about 85 of these games and I have a few in my backlog right now that I'll get to later this year. Glad to see that Super Meat Boy and Half-Life are fairly low on the list (so overrated).

Amazing job man. Glad to see Super Metroid almost breaking the top 10.

Also note Beyond: Two Souls is on there too, with a worse Meta Score (70).

I'm curious to see what the worst rated game on this list is...

Ka-pi96 said: Great work Smeags. A very impressive job you've done! Absolutely delighted about Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII getting #471, didn't expect it to make the list at all Halo CE being above Halo 3 looks a little odd. And I'm glad FF 7,8,9 & 10 were above 12

Didn't know you were such a Dinasty Warrior-esque lover :O

Also, agreed. CE should be below Halo 3. So should Halo 2.

Destiny is too low.
