22. Starcraft (Blizzard/PC)

I am the only one who hates it when magainzes / sites decide to number the 'best games'....?

Trying to compare lets say Super Mario Brothers 3 to Half Life 1 - in a contest of which is the 'better game' is utterly rediculious - especially considering the huge amount of exellent games out there - it ultimately boils down to much more of a subjective choice.

very good point. The list does make you laugh though

One of the reasons I agree with your point is that more lists like this should have Wing Commander on it.

Than again that is my subjective choice

I dont agree with the order but the ones in bold are games I do agree should be on the list. What kills me is games like GTA4 and COD4 are on here but not ONE single MGS game. Or SOTC, ICO, Resident Evil 1, etc. But hey that just goes to show you how subjective it really is.

did nintendo pay them or something?

Rock Band...Wii Sports...Call of Duty 4.

But no Halo: CE or Goldeneye?

did nintendo pay them or something?

Nintendo has been around in the video game industry much longer then any other system currently available. It only makes sense when you look back that Nintendo has a strong presence on ANY top video game list. Most gamers started on a Nintendo console.

Wii Sports (Nintendo/Nintendo Wii)

Super Mario Kart (Nintendo/SNES)

Rock Band (Electronic Arts/various platforms)

Not to bash Rock Band, or SMK that much, but they just don't seem Greatest Game of all time. Wii Sports is a serious WTF.

Wii sports and no galaxy?

24. Wii Sports (Nintendo/Nintendo Wii)

Wii Sports made the list for a few reasons. First, it comes with every Wii console. Second, it's fun, whether you go toe-to-toe with someone in a boxing or bowling game. (It also includes golf, tennis and baseball.) Lastly, it lets you play as your Miis to give it a personality quirk. Hey, Nintendo, a sequel would be nice.

gamedaily

I think the gamers should decide. It would take a while, but I reckon we could boil it down to a pretty good list with the use of polls and such like.

Mario Paint at 25? COD4 at number 6? No GTA3? Please.

No perfect Dark or MGS makes me a sad Panda.

They should of replaced GTA4 with one of the earlier ones.

no halo anywhere?Patatopan

There's no metroid either :?

No halo, no battlefield? Epic fail, Wii sports COME ON???Helbrec

Not the first time Wiisports has been on the greatest list

"Wii Sports, a collection of cartoonish tennis, baseball, bowling, golf and boxing scenarios, comes with the system. I had presumed that it was merely an elaborate demonstration of the Wii Remote, which responds to natural motions rather than arcane button combinations. I discovered quickly that it might be the greatest videogame ever made."

To be fair, I think wii sports is valid.....or atleast I can see why it would make a top 25 list.

Puzzle fighter though.....not a game I hear much about when people talk about great games. If I was going to pick a great puzzle game, i'd go with wetrix

14. Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo (Capcom/various platforms)

What are you talking about?! It's one of the best games ever if you have friends to play with, I still have my original copy for PS1. Where's the love for this game?

very poor list, no....

Metroid Prime or Super Metroid

DOOM or DOOM II

Baldur's Gate 2: SoA or Planescape: Torment

so, they are saying Wii sports or mario paint is better than these games? No credibility.
