WTFBBQ Res Evil 4 at #1? It's a good game, but it's not a classic like Pac-Man, Arkanoid, Tetris, or others.

:thumbsdown:

Edit: 08/02/2005

Didn't notice the thread being resurrected before, but thanks to blueshoe for a different, better updated list from IGN. This is more of an "Editors' Choice" list, not a Readers' Choice list.

IGN Top 100 Games
 
I think the people who voted are little kids... Most of these games are brand new games. What happen to StarCraft?

Does being "classic" make a game better than another?

In terms of society shock and entertainment value, I would say so.

In either case, the result will always be subjective. :beer:

The average person browsing IGN & voting is what, 16? They don't even remember when games had to be good because graphics weren't...
 
goddam that list is terrible. starcraft is rated lower than advance wars and kotor 2? advance wars is fun but wtf it's a gameboy game, and kotor 2 is an unfinished p.o.s.

edit--I guess it's one of those lists put together just to see how many people they can piss off. all new games are apparently better than all old games. splinter cell chaos theory in the top 10, they should just kill themselves now.
 
that list blows.. starcraft got beat out by sh!tty ass games.. it should easily make top ten as being the best RTS of all time

Perhaps, but then they would have to rename the list to "Top 99 Video Games of all time (for their time)"
 
The genre selection is terrible too. They manage to fit in Grim Fandango near the end as about the only adventure game, skip anything resembling a space sim, and then promptly piss all over side scrollers when they rank Super Mario 64 as the best game out of that series(never mind SMB3 was the best selling video game of all time for over 10 years). This is one of those lists that's designed to anger people in to looking, it's not a serious effort.

Yes, maybe that should be so, but I think we can both agree that RE4 isn't the "#1 game of all time" 🙂
 
Starcraft is 74?! So many games on that list were so much better. And I didnt see the original UT or Quake on that list either
