  • IGN posts their top 10

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

I think the major sin here is that Chrono Trigger is 18th place on their top 100 list. It is probably the most widely appealing RPG ever created, and is considered a favourite among a large amount of people, it ranked #2 on IGN's people's choice last year or the year before (forget now).

Anyway:

10) Resident Evil 4
9) Final Fantasy III
8 ) Link to the Past
7) Super Metroid
6) Half Life 2
5) Super Mario 64
4) Ocarina of Time
3) Sid Meier's Civilization II
2) Tetris
1) Super Mario Brothers


Personally: I do not agree with this list. Super Mario Brothers, while it was an incredibly groundbreaking game, did not really win my heart in the way that other NES titles did, I would not put this one even close to my top 10.

Tetris, I can see why it was there, it's a game that people still play heavily.

Civilization 2, Haha, I was an addict, I can't argue against this one.

Ocarina of Time, I would probably have as #1 or #2 on my list personally, I think Civ 2 might be the one game that I could put over it.

Super Mario 64, didn't like it.

Half Life 2, didn't like it

Super Metroid, thought it was decent, but got bored of it each time I attempted playing it.

Link to the Past, I enjoy playing this game, but not that much, I feel it is the most overrated game in the series. I wouldn't put it in my top 50.

Final Fantasy III, I think this game is placed exactly how it should be, though I disagree with the games ahead of it, and the games behind it.

Resident Evil 4, certainly deserving of a top 10 spot, I was actually shocked at how awesome this game was when I played it for Wii; though I don't understand how people could like it as much with the Gamecube controls, I find them kind of frustrating.

I was going to make a top 10 list myself, but I don't think I would be able to decide on an order between games like: FF8, Terranigma, Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, etc... I really like them all, but I woulnd't be able to put one over the other, even though I have multiple times in the past. My top 3 are Ocarina of Time, Civilization II, and Skies of Arcadia. Mario Galaxy has a chance to pop into the group with Ocarina of Time and such, I am REALLY enjoying this game, time will tell; Ocarina of Time I was very sure about, last time I played it was this winter, I still like it quite a bit.

Top XX lists always suck anyway.

It's easy to pick an old game, like say Pong is the number 1 game of the all time! It looks dumb now? But way back it was really really cool! And you can't disprove it.

Of course you should see if these guys are playing Super Mario Brothers all the time since that's their #1 game of all time.
