You don't make #10 on the greatest video game list by being better than not great, lol.

I don't like Minecraft nor do I believe it should be on the any critical acclaimed list, I'm just saying your complaints can easily be applied to more typical inclusions. It's more obvious as older games have plenty of problems that stem from limitations of that age and technology.

That's what I'm saying, the game isn't just better than "not great". It's a ridiculously brilliant game for kids and creative people in general.

I can't think of any other game that gives you as many possibilities to just make what you desire as this does, while with the whole Redstone stuff also teaching you a whole bunch of logical thinking skills. Take all the historical importance of Super Mario Bros (the game, whose absence on the list seems to be bothering you the most) away and what are you left with by todays standards? A simplistic jump and run.

Take all the meaning and popularity behind Minecraft away and you still have the same game giving you all these almost limitless possibilities.

It's always worth pointing out that these lists are based on someone's opinion rather than fact/stats/reviews etc. Having said that, this list is comical in places. I don't think a lot of thought went into this other than someone brainstorming some good games and then putting them into a loosely ranked order.

Shouldn't be taken too seriously. The very fact that Dark Souls is no.1 and Bloodborne is no.4 show the preferred tastes in gaming of the author(s). It's by no means a 'constructive' list.

Yes, but then again those can be argued. Let me use an example with Ocarina Of Time. World class orchestras have put on shows with their music, (Z) lock on targeting revolutionized the way 3D games are played, it was one of the first full 3D open world adventure games ever, It's story is considered timeless and one of the best in gaming.

Only the last  can be argued, but still it is widely considered true.

Minecraft has...... Popularity... Clones.... As I said, but so does Flappy Birds, and toaster simulator.

Yeah, because it's soundtrack isn't world renown. ;)

Because this list was made by Edge, and not random forum goer #1234.

Different people like different games. Whats so wrong with that? One mans rubbish is another mans Gold. Why should they include SMB when they include Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Galaxy 2... All of which are arguably leagues beyond the original SMB by todays standards.

Think of this as a "Top 100 Games of Today" rather than "Top 100 Games of all Time". Super Mario Bros. simply doesnt stand up to more recent entries, just like no other Minecraft clone currently stands up to Minecraft.

Minecraft has one big advantage over those games. It didnt die out within a few Weeks; its still going as strong as ever 4 Years after it initially released.

Oh, so MORE popularity.

Way to ignore the rest of my post.

You are yet to say what is so bad about Minecraft. Please tell us.

Stopped reading at Driveclub.

Did a quick Ctrl F for Splinter Cell , Gears, Hitman , Knights of The Old Republic, Deus Ex.... no hope.

Hands down one of the worst lists I have seen in a very long time.
