---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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.

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).

It's as if they're saying GTA 3 is better than all GTA games combined...which doesn't make any sense.

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.

Wii Sports, with the new motion controls, was a phenomenon. 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.
