G4TV's Top 100 Video Games

From Mario to Master Chief, 8-bit to hi-def, Angry Birds to Zelda - the battle is on to count down the top 100 video games of all time... will your favorite make the list?

[Philoctetes]

Does G4 really need to inflate its hits that badly that it needs a separate page for every game? That's weak.

[guitarded77]

They probably do since losing Adam Sessler.

[black911]

Where is Gran Turismo & Donkey Kong Country!!!!!!!

[Kurt Russell]

probably on page 70 odd... can't be bothered to click that far in :/

[Laxman]

There's no way Mario 1 is better than Mario 3...

I agree with little in that list, but im glad to see Bioshock at #3.

[TBM]

I know this list is BS with a lot of great games being left off, but i also love it because its gonna have some people go apesh*t lol.

THANK YOU! lol - sure I'm at work and have all the time in the world but clicking though 100 pages is ridiculous.. gave up around 70 something and skipped to top 10

[DasTier]

Thank you for saving my clicking finger.

[TheFallenAngel]

God of War III should be on the top ten. That game was so epic. Also Resistance: Fall of Man should be there and Dead Rising.

[knifefight]

Give this man bubbles for "Helpful" because whoa, this IS the definition of helpful. I'm not clicking 100 freaking pages.

[Nugan]

WoW above Orcarina of Time?

Jesus.

[SeekDev]

From my viewpoint, this list looks like one long, drooping poop. I dislike it that much.

[solar]

How does Portal 2 or HL:2 not make that list? And Bioshock was really good but not #3 all-time good. Lame list.

[Chuk5]

Mario 64, Halo 1, MGS and FFVII all out of the top 30? What?
Halo 2 not even on the list. Gear 3 at #80? Bioshock at #3?
Uncharted 2 at #14? No Mario Galaxy. Portal 1 at #13? Man, this is not a good list IMO.

[A7XEric]

This list is god damn horrible. Why is CoD4 above Halo 1? I think it's pretty indisputable which one did more for the FPS genre. And Bioshock above OoT? Not even gonna get started on that

[hoopstar13]

I've seen and played a dozen of the biggest pre NES games and NONE of them are in the top 100 if for no other reason than the biggest and best of them have had superior revisions and improvements eventually.

[DeadSpaced]

What a pathetic list.

[hoopstar13]

This list is really predictable and more of a retrospective than 100 really great games but, for the sake of personal ridicule here goes my top 100:

[Khordchange]

They put Pong at 100? The very first gaming big hit at 100? Really? It deserves a lot more respect than that, top 10 at minimum

[InTheLab]

Bioshock at number 3? Sure Xplay.

Also, there's no Half Life 2 on there but somehow, Halo 3 made the cut? Halo 3 isn't even better than Halo CE.

And where is MGS 3?

I'm surprised these guys didn't throw in Dance Central or some shit...

[cornroves]

Hey you can't get them all but I'll accept this list because they put on on a game that never makes these types of list... Panzer Dragoon Saga seriously was a great game, when I think rpg it is one that always comes to mind.

[Father Murder X]

That list is straight garbage. Metal Gear Solid IV blows Uncharted 2 out of the water and twice on sunday. Where the hell is Halo 2??

[RockmanII7]

G4, where Asteroids and Tetris are better than any game from the last 20 years (outside of Bioshock).

[black911]

Where is Gran Turismo & Donkey Kong Country????????

[Jirachi]

No final fantasy vi,really crappy picks placing loz above oot and smb above smb3(they even said smb3 what was great about mario and perfected it)
Seriously MY DOG could write a better list
