And of course, none of single Metroid Prime listed. Sorry for the double post.

Seems more like a influential list than a best game list

Then they should have named the list " The top 50 most influential video games of all time".

Then things like Bioshock and Rise of the Tomb Rider shouldn't even come close to the list.

Let's not mention CoD2 over CoD4, Super Smash Bros, Fallout 3, Ms. Pac Man..

Yeah, but the list isn't a most impressive list, it's a best list. So saying the wheel is is better than today's tires is nonsense. Sure, it is definitely more impressive, but it isn't the best, which is the point of this list. Besides, it's all merely opinion. All I'm saying is that the list would of been better named most influential/impressive games of all time compared to best, and even then there are some random choices that don't really have a place on the list either way you look at it.

I guess it depends on what a person is refering to when they say "best". That's all I was talking about. I guess the person who made this list was thinking along those lines. Although, the list sucks anyway. SM64 is not more influencial than SMB as 3D platforming is all but dead and 2D platforming has been popular for three decades. It's a total guess as to wtf who ever it was was thinking.

Yeah, there are lots of ways different people could interpret what constitutes as "best", and they could have different criteria to match their standards. There really is no telling what they were thinking when they were deciding what games should be on the list, and what games shouldn't, but I'd love to know how they came up with it

This makes no sense, is like trying to make a list about the games that were more relevant for gaming history, but then you see some almost offensive omissions and some games that don't fit with the focus of the ranking at all, Rise Of Tomb Raider on the spot 18 is extremely random.

Pretty inconsistent.
