Discuss....

mass effect at #3? really? i mean i liked it and all but come-on 3?

at times i thought i was playing an elevator sim

it didn't run very well either if you want to know the truth, at the time of release i was calling it mass defect

nostalgia tends to look better than reality i guess

Depending on what side of the bed I wake up on, Mass Effect or KOTOR are my 1 and 2... Mass Effect was brilliant...

Can you list down all 100 games. :P or is there a link somewhere so we can see the rest?

I got the magazine today at lunch... Ill get on it...

COD4? that lag infested hell hole for pre-teens screaming abuse at you at number 2?!?!?!?

Call Of Duty 4 is an amazing game, you have to admit. but yeah, number 2?

Shouldn't they wait until at *least* the end of gen 3 before they start doing "best 100 games" lists? As it stands, they've probably listed one out of every five or six XBOX games, period, with a substantial portion of what they didn't list being shovelware.

GRAW but no original Ghost Recon, that's just wrong.

Gears of War deserves to be above COD 4! Ah well its all opinions!

well, Im content, both Mechassault and Jet Set Radio Future made the list :P

Pretty bad list, not that the games they have listed are infact bad but the order of them is.

Wow I'm surprised FFXI made it in the list, even at number 100 lol.

what a surprise at number 1 :roll:.

What is wrong with it?

Great list, I know if I had to make a top 100 list, I would have a hard time putting them in order. There's so many factors to take in consideration, scores, sales, popularity, online activity, lasting appeal, relevance and so on.

yeah I know tell me about it, the only thing I disagree with on this list is the placement of Cod 4, and how far down on the list JSRF and Mech Assault are.

Edit: and i dont like halo but thats another story.

that list sucks

They only put Halo:CE at the #1 spot because they owe it. You know, like saving the Xbox from beinga failure. :P

But seriously, I can agree with most of the list, but COD4 should not be in the top five.

I don't think that is a bad list actually. Of course I disagree with parts of it but it would be impossible to agree exactly.

KOTOR is definelty better than ME, and i loved ME

KOTOR has one of the biggest plot reveals of all time video games

I'd say Crimson Skies, KOTOR should be higher.

But Xbox is such a young platform overall, i think 360 has passed Xbox in terms of quality titles. I just can't think of 100 great games i've played for the brand

i'm sure there are 100 ones, but just not a 100 i played

Shafftehr

It was for their "100th magazine"

Wow I'm surprised FFXI made it in the list, even at number 100 lol.

spinecaton

me too... Where was Rainbow 6 vegas 2? I feel like FFXI was just thrown on the heap beceause its the only one of a genre on the platform.

Horrible list, but it is just an opinion. Wheres Jade Empire though :(

#3 just seems a bit high i guess, i tend to nitpick things though so maybe theres more there than i give it credit for

silent hill 2 should have been higher, IMHO.

I agree with this list :) . For the most part atleast

Some questionables, but not many

What, COD 4 second? How the heck did the original SC get on the list at 96th?

Thanks anyway TC

Well at least they didn't put Halo 1/2/3 on the first 3 places.

Good list. still i desagree with some games like CoD4 at second place??

:( No Panzer Dragoon Orta and Jet Set Future Radio aaaaall the way down at 75? Decent list I suppose.killab2oo5

yeah that was my only problem with it as well (THe JSRF thing) I think JSRF deserves to at least be in the top 25 (although tbh imo it is #1 best game on the Xbox.)

Good list. still i desagree with some games...CoD4 at second place?? also Halo3 should be at Halo2´s place...

PAL360

Gears of War deserves to be above COD 4! Ah well its all opinions!
