I found some of the choices to be quite questionable.

Pokemon games? What?

And Metroid prime at #29? Pfft.

[Kid Game]

Yeah some of the games that appeared were questionable alright. Some games were rated highly but should be lower on the list or not even on it. Some games that are low should be higher up in the chart. Some games that aren't on it should be up there.

Resident Evil 4- Gamecube. Rank 14. I definitely thought that was going to be at least in the top 10. However it was close enough.

Going down the chart I see Resident Evil for playstation. The original one that started all the evil madness on PS1. Where is it? Rank 53. That got me too, only 53. For the original well maybe higher.

Where is Resident Evil 2 (PS1). I know for sure a lot of magazines and web sites voted that game as game of the year, best game ever and other awards like that. The gamefaqs top 100 best games ever and Resident Evil 2 doesnt even make the chart. That got me there.

Final Fantasy. No complains but there are plenty of them on the chart. I believe all of the PS1 Final Fantasies are on this list somewheres. I noticed Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9, and tactics. FFX for PS2. No surprise there though I knew there was going to be lots of final fantasy games.

Next the Burnout games. Great racing series. Only Burnout 3 Takedown makes it and at the 62nd spot too. I would have thought it would be a bit higher. I say that Burnout Revenge is better but it is too new so I wasnt expecting it to place high or even on the chart.

Gran Turismo 3 A Spec and Gran Turismo (the original) for PS1 rank 72 and 92 respectively. Quite a surprise there. I was definitely surprised at the no show of Gran Turismo 4. It's been out a long enough time so it shouldve been on the list. No forza Motorsport either which was a bit of a surprise.

Mortal Kombat. 58. Only the original arcade one? Come on there should be more up there. The original was good sure but Id say at least MK2 or 3 should be there. Perhaps trilogy.

Now to Tekken games. Only one is Tekken 3 (PS1) at 83. It was good but I heard that Tekken 2 was good too and thought that would be there. No PS2 tekkens a little surprising.


What other objections do you have DB? What games would you move to a better/worse position on the chart? What games would you take off the chart and what would you add to it that should be there?

[DaBomb]

Half Life 2 - Number 25? How is that even possible?

Prince of Persia - 86? That was really highly rated.

Both Residents Evils should be higher, and Gran Turismo deserved to be a lot higher.
