I haven't played it; doesn't interest me much. I was surprised that Uncharted 2 wasn't closer to #1, though.

In my opinion, Mass Effect 2 is not even in the top 50.

There are just so many incredible, original modern games that arose with the indie wave.

What about the stellar modern Nintendo clas sics?

What about Mass Effect 1, a game that was arguably superior in gameplay mechanics and depth to its successor?

What about games with infinite replayability (like Oblivion), where you can immerse yourself for literally thousands of hours with all the mods out there?

To call Mass Effect 2 the "finest modern work of this generation" is a complete overstatement.

It's a great game, yes. But the best game? No way in hell.

I don't understand why Portal 2 was higher than F3 and UC2. Fallout 3 was quite honestly the most long lasting game of the generation IMO. I also don't understand why Halo 3 isn't up there instead of Reach and why Reach is ahead of Cod4 and Oblivion. Oh IGN...

>thank god it wasnt call of duty

i would have been happy with COD4 as number 1, ME2 is just a dating sim, with gears of war gameplay shoehorned in

I agree completely with their #1 choice, but the list as a whole made me puke. It seems like it's a completely unorginized one. The big one was demons souls at #100. Opinions are opinions, but come the hell on. What happened to Ign? I think it was their 2006, or 2007 list that was amazing. Their 100 greatest games of all time, is the best list I've ever seen. I'm going to look it up.

I haven't played ME1 so I can't really say if its better than ME2.

I guess you have a point, I forgot the list even goes back to games made in 2005.

I still haven't played ME1 yet, you say it its better than 2 guess IGN got the list wrong big time.

I agree with eveyrthing you say.

That's really opinions. Because a random person in gamespot says that to you, doesn't mean it's fact. Hardcore rpg fans are going to say Me1 is better, while more mainstream ones are going to say me2 is better. I have 3 friends that didn't like the first mass effect, yet addore me2. It's because they aren't into rpg's. Me2 is still an rpg, just streamlined. I think a lot of people call it "overrated" because of it. Yet, now-a-days what game isn't? Hell. I heard so many people complain about witcher 2's difficulty, that I'm starting to think gamers just can't be pleased.

Batman AA, Bioshock, Mass Effect, SMG, Uncharted all in the top 10 this gen? Looks like IGN finally made a top 10 I can agree with (even though I'm not a fan of the order)

Their whole list is a joke right off the bat. Why even go on when they have Demon's Souls number 100 lol.

Edit: now I'm really not going on. Crysis is number 94 and Angry Birds is 93.

While I understand the admirable aspects of the ME franchise, I still have never understood the level of admiration it gets, especially from IGN.

That is the single worst list I've ever seen in my entire life.

Angry Birds, Mirror's Edge, Far Cry 2, Borderlands, Shadow Complex, Wii Sports Resort, Tetris are better than Demon's Souls, MGS, Halo 3, Just Cause 2? :lol::lol::lol:

Well deserved. ME2 is a fantastic game and ME's universe is probably the greatest one in gaming.

What was Dragon Age Origins on the list?

But I'm glad that Demon's Souls got number 100, seriously overrated game here.

that top 100 list had no criteria whatsoever. What were they going for? they go from deep long lasting RPG to adventure game then casual phone app repeatedly throughout. I'm pretty sure they ordered the first 80 games by picking them out of a hat.

Personally, I think Mass Effect 2 is a mess. It has weak and flawed third person cover controls, almost non existant RPG elements, terrible level design, and a bad plot.

LOL at Arkham Asylum getting outplaced by Uncharted 2! That's just rediculous. Everything that Uncharted 2 does wrong for an action adventure, Arkham Asylum does right.

The Witcher 2 is a much better game than Mass Effect 2, it's fantastic. But judging by your sig it looks like you think Dragon Age 2 is a good game and The Witcher 2 isn't, soooo :lol: at you.

UC2 in #7? I can live with that. Bioshock #2 ? Love it.

ME2 at number #1? Didn't know IGN was drinking, they should really stop.

So what IGN was basically saying in that video was - "we would have picked Vanquish, but since not many people got a chance to play this incredible epic masterpiece, we have chose the more popular but embarrassingly inferior 3rd person shooter ME2"
