IGN's Top 100 Games

You may remember the Top 100 Games list IGN compiled a few years ago. IGN also let you folks tell us what your favorite games of all-time were in our Readers' Top 99 Games list. Well, now it's time to respond to your picks with an update of our own !

RE4 was on top as #1, but i can definitely agree with ocarina of time being #2.

That is on of my most favored games of all time.

[23478ueyur_938223]

Huh? I see Super Mario Bros. at number 1, and Ocarina at 2.

[snoop_dizzle]

#1: Resident Evil 4
Platform: GCN
Developer: Capcom Production Studio 4
Publisher: Capcom
Year: 2005

I've owned every system since NES to now, and not one game touches the utter perfectness of this game. This is the most well rounded, cleverly portrayed, finely polished game I've ever played.
-- Dragoon1012

This game can be summed up in one word...PERFECTION.
-- jtraven

Everything about this game I am constantly telling my friends. There is nothing about this game I don't like, saying that as a fan of the series and as a critic. This is the greatest game (period).

Add this to my collection

I didn't think this would be #1

I'm looking here: http://top100.ign.com/2005/...

Perhaps we are looking at different listings? It sounds like you're reading the reader's list and I'm reading IGN's?

Yeah, you're looking at the reader listings: http://microsites.ign.com/k...

[snoop_dizzle]

i see.

I was gonna say that was very strange.

[23478ueyur_938223]

Yeah, same here. SMB deserves a number 1 spot but surely not RE4.

[Diselage]

This is old, report as such. IGN is NOT updating this list.

[MoonDust]

2005?

[Rowland]

Oblivion not even in the 100 ? !

[23478ueyur_938223]

I'd assume because it's too new, this list is comprised of elder games, naturally.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

haha...you said Elder in reference to Oblivion...I like the pun...even if it was unintentional.

[Marceles]

FF7 isn't up there...this list sucks already

[23478ueyur_938223]

FF7 is 88, and FFIII at 56.

[confusion]

glad to see chrono trigger was in the top rpg spot. best game ever.

[iceice123]

# 018 // ICO gets in. ICO..what a joke.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

That's why you have two bubbles...

[wiijared]

I own 25 of the top 100 games.

[Rowland]

ICO was ok (& very well rendered & crafted) for it's time..

[SWORDF1SH]

... any football game (to any american i mean soccer game). pro evolution soccer should be there for being a accurate and excellent simulation of a sports game. and max pain should be there because it was the first game to do the slow motion spinny matrix thing and did it good. do you guys think that anything else is missing?

[gunnar2906]

It is particularly imposible to form that kind of list. It is too subjective to be perfect, this list is just the matter of compilers' preferences. All depends on age of compilers, time they played games from and platforms they played.
IHMO this list is missing the greatest key games that made break-thrus in game industry like Elite, Quest series by Sierra, Retailator, Dune 2, Wing Commander, Wolfenstein for PC.I bet noone of compilers have never heard of Zilog80-based computers like Yamaha, predecesstors of PCs, not many heard of Commodore C64 or Atari Amiga.
I think the games that were progenitors of computer genres as we recognize them or founders of long-lasting series must be included in this list.
Like
Wolfensein for first FPS
Hie Hard as the first TPS
Dune 2 for first real-time strategy
Sonic as founder of all Sonicss
EQ and UO for first MMORPG
"Quest" games by Sierra for first adventure/quest games
Ulitimas for RPG as we know them (IHMO Ultima 6 was the best)
etc.

[Diselage]

This may be from 2005 and thats why none of the new ones are on there, I don't see anything on IGN about this so i'm pretty sure it's old, Report as old.

[ben hates you]

but i still would put halo a little higher up, its a game that really sparked multi-player and then later online play to help us get to where we are now

i like where tie fighter is, and C&C Red Alert, best command and conquor, even though i would of thought they would have KOTOR up there

[monoknacker]

Good list although i would personally put Final Fantasy VII higher and where is Megaman II? That game was a classic surely.

[Robearboy]

Where the hell is final fight on this list?

[iceice123]

Very nice to see that BattleToads made the list.

& Super Maio World should have been closer too one, much closer.

[Rowland]

Resident Evil Project Veronica should be in there !

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

DEVIL MAY CRY 3 IS THE BEST GAME EVER!!! THAT SHOULD BE NUMBER ONE!!!

It was over-shadowed by God of War, which came out the same year. Yeah, GOW is good, but...better than DMC3? You have to be kidding me!
