Being asked to list my all-time favorite games -- when so many of them span drastically different, impossible-to-compare eras -- is an extremely difficult job. Not compared to, say, working construction for a living or doing something else that actually benefits society in a tangible way, but if you ask me it’s simply not fair to compare Halo to Super Mario Bros. 3. Still, I’ve done my best to narrow this down as much as possible, and I got my list down to 11. Sorry, I just couldn’t do ten! I look forward to discussing my picks with you in the Comments below, and be sure to click all the way through to the third page of the feature for the 39 other games on my list that didn’t quite make my top 11.
Solid list but 50 isn't enough.
I'd say 200 is the minimum for an accurate measure of the best games of all time.
I'd prefer a top 500 to be honest.
I've played a ton of games since the late 80's though so maybe that is why.
At least he did 50.
Can't stand the lazy top 10 or even lazier top 5 lists of anything.
