Shows how powerful and timeless Team ICO's games are despite their nichery! This list does have a bunch of recurring -and possibly inherent- problems like random bias towards recent games, nostalgia, reputation, and against less popular genres or sub-genres.

Not going to call it ridiculous, because it's not. Editors are entitled to their opinions. They have specific genre preferences in addition to their obvious limited experiences. We tend to forget that not many played every single highly regarded game in existence, chances are not a single human being has.

I'm tired of how annoying and disrespectful people can get, bitching about every top-something list out there. If you're that pissed, try making your own list and propel your sperms all over it.

I can bitch and moan all I want.  These print online game magazines are disappearing faster than printed newspapers.  They are obsolete and about the only good ones Next Generation and Nintendo Power have been long gone. 

We have a yearly VGC list that people partake in at the end of the year.  Have a bunch of people vote and then tally up the votes.  That way one person bias can't affect the entire list.  Edge is mainly popular in Europe right?  Because here in the states no one gives a shit about Edge.

Not exactly what i'd call a quality list. Everything's subjective though.

Yeah... but every "top  best " list is  highly subjective, as most reviews today.

????? Thats what I just said

I like how they took their nostalgia glasses off, this is one of the better top 100 lists I've seen.

Well, it did make me chuckle, at least.

Ain't any good if they need glasses to properly see. I recommend you get some too.

I already got some, and with them I see quite well.  You might need some perhaps, if you already do then you might need a new prescription.

But not everyone has 20/20 vision, some people need glasses to see better.

lol same joke as the person above, but you are right any top 100 list that differs from yours is wrong.

Very bad taste indeed. Oh, well, next list then.

Tetris is #7, that's all that needs to be said. Despite it's cultural impact however long ago it was it's going to get a top 10 spot in 2017, lol. That's like saying Angry Birds or Pokemon Go are the top 10 games of all time. It was a great game to waste your time.

I wouldn't say that, but yeah any top 100 list that has Portal on it but not its sequel is pretty damn wrong.

I liked the first one, never completed the second though cus I got bored.  Maybe one day I'll try it again.  But ya, after seeing 100 lists where the top 10 are games that came out 15+ years ago, it's nice to see one that isn't as nostalgia focused.
