IGN's top 100 games of all time

[Jmmsbnd007]

...and I laugh how they put a MOD in a "100 best games of all time" list. Not to mention a piece of crap full of retards ripped off idea mod.

Are you referring to CS?

As much as I can't stand the game, its insanely popular. People still play it now, years and years after it should have died.

Warcraft 2 is number 88. come on now. it basically built the entire rts genre. 88, hmmm, thats absolutely ridiculous

Yes, CS.

If you're talking about CS I'm assuming you've never played it.

 

[Winchester]

Name: Contra
Platform: Arcade, NES
Developer: Konami
Publisher: Konami of America
Year Released: 1988
Why it Made the Top 100 List: The quintessential side-scrolling shooter, Contra defines what an action game was like on the NES. Even though you can only shoot in eight directions and everything in the game is pattern based, it's still a great game to play through to this day, and it's still hard as $&*%. As a bonus, Contra also has what is arguably the most famous and recited cheat code ever.

Come on guys, it is a test. Just seeing if you still know it.

Wolfenstien 3-D should have been higher and where the heck was Age of Empires II, Quake II, Unreal Tournamant and Total War series games

 

[Jzero]

It wasn't that bad. I was impressed that Pirates! was mentioned, but disappointed that WASTELAND seems to have been overlooked.

The fact alone that Doom is #44 shows that this is more of a nostalgia opinion list rather than truly the best/innovative games.

Yeah, the game's 'plot' was sh!t, true, but...

- seamless, trouble-free network play for 2-4 players via serial or LAN (starting in 1.2 Registered)
- creating the game in such a way as to facilitate the ability to easily modify and expand upon a game and all its facets--graphics, sounds, maps, etc. (began with Doom Editing Utilities released in March '94, a few months after Doom Shareware)
- and a beautiful engine (for '93) that certainly paved the way for the fluid, dynamic and realistic graphics we expect in all of today's FPS'.

Nothing I'd consider 'innovative,' right?

 

[yoda291]

SC and HL should definitely have made top 5 at least...if not the first 2 spots. MARIO bros! Come on.

Of course I have.

You misread it. In my opinion, doom should be #1, if not in the top 3. Quake and some other games that I have in mind in the top 10, of course.

 

[Dark4ng3l]

Ok, they have doom, but they dont have unreal, unreal tournament, quake, quake2, quake3, duke nukem, all much better games than doom...... Hell they dont even have Doom2 on that list.....

lunar for the sega cd remains my all time favorite

Sorry, my bad.

I didn't play Quake until after Quake 2 oddly enough (I somehow survived creeping along with a 486SX/25 until mid-1998), but can still appreciate the huge breakthrough its engine certainly was. That alone should warrant it a decent placing on any 'Top 100' list. Then there's its large-scale multiplayer aspect and clean interface for LAN/net play with soon-available--& free--add-ons (QuakeWorld) and a mod community that in no time expanded exponentially (in numbers and expertise) upon Doom's large and loyal following.

Still, 'Super Smash Bros. Melee?!' Can't get over that... :disgust:

My ass!

 

[MaxDSP]

WTF is Max Payne? I don't remember seeing any Need For Speed titles on there either...

GTA3 SHOULD BE IN AT LEAST THE TOP 10

BS list

 

[CTrain]

Most retarded list ever.
The list is so biased toward console games.

Quake, QuakeII, Duke Nukem, Diablo I or II.....WTF !!!!!

Most retarded list ever.

Yeah, really. And wtf, mario bros being #1? Sure, it was a cool console game at the time, but did it really change the way an entire genre is played? Even then, the FPS genre is the largest of them all from what I know.

doom should have been higher, quake maybe should be in there.... it's just pretty doom, + a few enhancements i noticed pong wasn't in there...

If by "few enhancements" you mean... a full 3d world, much improved graphics (OpenGL in some cases), innovative online play, etc etc...

 

[JonTheBaller]

Major props for listing Virtua Tennis on the list. They recognize a special game when they see one. Why Super Mario World 2 but no Super Mario Bros. 3?

 

[Lithium381]

thats a pretty good list, a little mixed up in order, but all the classics are on there!

 

[Spagina]

I was definitely relieved to see X-Com on there. That game is still insanely fun, years and years later, after beating it 15 times. If they could do an X-com today that paid homage to the original but was updated, it would be a hit.
