Monty Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Our friends over at Reviews on the Run just finished rolling out their Top 100 Games of all-time. Thought I would put them down in a thread and see what people have to say, not only about the order but omissions as well.

Grand Theft Auto 3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some of my comments. First off, quite a few games on there that I have never played or heard of, so I won't comment on the merits of why they are in the Top 100 (ie: Homeworld. Freespace 2). Too High On List: - Batman: Arkham Asylum at #5 - Uncharted 2: Among Thieves at #6 - Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time at #30 (surpised it was on there at all) - Super Mario Galaxy at #41 - Wave Race at #45 - Bayonetta at #66 (Really) - Mark of the Ninja at #72 (Great game, don't think it should have made the list) - Infamous at #95 (surpised it made the list) - The Walking Dead at #70 Too Low On List: - 99. Mortal Kombat - Probably should have been in top 40 - 96. Sonic the Hedgehog - System seller the Sega Genesis. Top 50 at least. - 85. KOTOR - Might be me, but this should have much, much higher. Top 20. - 65. Civilization. I don't like Civ, but easily top 20. - 39. Shadow of Colossus. Top 10 game easily. - 22. The Elder Scrolls (Franchise) - To me, best game of all time. - 67. World of Warcraft (Never played it, but even I know this is too low.) Omissions: - Contra (Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start) - Dragon Quest - Police Quest - Secret of Monkey Island - Maniac Mansion - Psychonauts - Myst (Series) - Pong - Duke Nukem 3D - Madden Series - Tecmo Bowl - Max Payne - The Sims - Worms (Series) - Secret of Mana - Counter Strike - Chrono Trigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 That is a horrible list imo. Not only do I think their evaluations are way off on many games, but I also don't like that some were grouped as series and others weren't. Either do single games, or do series, but not a mix of both. As for omissions, there's no SMB3 or SMBW, that says plenty right there about this list.

Caboose Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 IMO their top 5 is pretty spot on. Arkham Asylum was bloody fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either do single games, or do series, but not a mix of both. This is what bothered me the most. God of War (Series), yet GTA 3 is best game of all time? Don't mean to be a nerd, but GTA 3 isn't even the best in the series (San Andreas). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 GTA as the series should just be number 1. I can see why they picked 3 though, at the time man oh man it changed everything. Can't wait to tell my x-box friend that Halo lost out to Tetris hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex the Great Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Red dead redemption! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeefcakeBo Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 This list looks pretty bs to me. Some of the titles in the top 20 shouldn't have even made the list at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rounoush Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Did they spin a wheel to get this list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Did they spin a wheel to get this list? No, I think they've played the games over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mean to be a nerd, but GTA 3 isn't even the best in the series (San Andreas). It's as if they're saying GTA 3 is better than all GTA games combined...which doesn't make any sense.

D-Money Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 No original Super Mario Bros.? No Super Mario Bros. 3? Major fail right there. I don't care about personal preference, those were game-changers (pun intended). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 It's also pretty ridiculous to have a list that is ALL-TIME, and doesn't have Pong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Oh yeah, and ranking Final Fantasy as a series? Those games are HUGE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLASSJAW Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 haha, Wii Sports is a top 100 game but Chrono Trigger isn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHawkSniper Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Tetris and Goldeneye should be Top 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RO8!! Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 haha, Wii Sports is a top 100 game but Chrono Trigger isn't I really like this show and still don't agree with many of their opinions on this list but I agree with you. Those were the exact 2 things I noticed. Maybe, and I am hoping beyond hope here, just maybe they included Chrono Trigger with Final fantasy. Wii sports they just dropped the ball there no excuses on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
î мцšт вяздк чфµ Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 the list is invalid because i don't see I76 on it... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_'76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It offered something completely new and unique, that appealed to all ages and backgrounds. That said, it was more to do with the utilization of the new Wii technology than the game itself.
