No Final Fantasy 7, Metal Gear Solid 3?

But MARIO PAINT?????

What the *bleep*?

Let me expound further... I have no problem with where a lot of the Nintendo games are on the list, prior to the Wii, Nintendo did kick ass. But Mario Paint isn't even a game! Unless you can consider Fly Swatter to be the sole driving force behind that... I mean c'mon...

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

nuge004

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?

I can't really comment on it as I don't think i've played it. But i've never seen it mentioned in a top computer games list before.

Funny how something that isn't actually a game makes the top 25?

RE4 is shockingly low on that list. its a crime for it not to be in the top 10 and to me its nearer to top 3. Its easily better than half life 2. I mean lets not compare evolutionary (HL2) to revolutionary (RE4)

Wii sports has to be one of the most overrated games in history. I hate using the word "overrated" but there's simply not a better word to describe it. It ends up way too high in lists all the time. Yes it's pretty cool, but essentially it's just a demonstration to show what the Wii remote can do, at least that's how I look at it.

I'd personally add Halo: CE there...I'd most definately place it above HL2.

Whoa that is one huge Nintendo fanboy list. No Halo yet Mario Paint is on that list?? :lol:

And why do people always say SMB3 is the greatest game ever? Its a simple sidescroller! Id think HL2 is way more advanced for its time than SMB3 was :roll:

Call of Duty 4 is a decent FPS game and that is all. It's very linear and very scripted, which allows for some dramatic moments, but not much else outside of this. If you come back and play it in 10 years time, when the technology behind it is no longer impressive and the hype has worn off, then you will see this. I hate when a game gets so much acclaim just because people are blinded by it's impressive technology at the time it's released. COD4 = great game...but no way in hell is it one of the top 25 games of all time. Not by a long shot. It's not even the best FPS of all time. Not by a ways. The rest of the games on the list make sense for various reasons (although not reasons that make them the best game ever but some of the most important or influential etc) but this game is on there simply because it's cool to think it's amazing right now. Don't argue with me now...It's pointless. Just come back in 10 years time and we will see how much fun it is to play against all the newer FPS games. Also, don't say well that's stupid because of course they will be better because it's not the tech I'm talking about, it's the gameplay, and that shouldn't age much, just like games like SM3 or C:SOTN or Goldeneye etc are still as much fun to play now as ever. I even think the same thing goes for Half Life 2 for the most part. It's a decent FPS games but in reality Doom, Goldeneye, Counter Strike and Halo are all superior FPS games in my opinion, for various reasons. Also, as a personal note, SMW or SMW2:YI are still the two best platform games of all time, and both are superior to SMB3 imo, so if you are going to have any platform game on that list then it really should be one of those two.

eh...it was OK. I don't think they should count anything this gen since they havn't been time tested. Does anybody really think people are going to look back on this gen and think COD 4 or GTA 4 are the best games, I doubt it.

Exactly. That's why is annoys me when they add stuff like this to the list because it's more about the fact that right now they are impressed by what it's doing technically etc than how great a game it trully is and how well it will stand the test of time to actually prove this. If it was a list of most influential or important games, or whatever, then I think games like HL2 and GTAIV etc count but in terms of the best games ever I don't think they come close.

I agree. The bowling is good and that is about it. Wii Sports is not a great game (and imo it's mostly very average) but a game that was very important and had a big impact in it's time (for various reasons), and that is a very different thing.

This list is better than a lot. But no one is ever pleased with a list regardless... So that's why you make your own personal one, I don't see the point of dwelling over other people's lists.

Not the best list, but I've certainly seen much worse. SMB 3 is certainly a worthy candidate for #1.

There is absolutely no way you can list 25 greatest games of all time. If people can't even decide which out of Fallout, Baldur's Gate and Planescape: Torment is the best, how could you, how, do you make a list of 25 greatests? That's absurd.

Well, I dont think it needs to be said since everyone said it for me...... but i'll join the club. why the hell is rock band on there? COD4?! number 6?!, burnout?! ... *sigh* anyway, that list is pathethic. Wheres doom 2 hell on earth? Halo 1? Diablo? Metal gear solid? Gran Theft Auto 3 should be there, NOT GTA4. I don't get it, why do they not put games that revolutionized the industry? For example, COD4 is on the list, but doom/halo/half life/etc aren't on it? I'm still shocked diablo isn't on there.:shock:
