Oh god...The Sims isn't a game.

Just because Pac-Man came out a long time ago doesn't mean it's good, it means it's old.

Vice City was better than San Andreas, neither of which are top 10 though.

Modern Warfare 2...lol

Halo...lol again

Ocarina of Time...okay maybe, you got 1 so far.

Final Fantasy 7, ugh. Yeah most people would agree, but again, just because you have fond memories for it and it "helped you through your awkward early teens because you fell in love with Aeris and Cloud was your best friend" or whatever pathetic story most people have involving this game, doesn't make it that great of an actual GAME.

Pokemon...what are you, a 5 year old girl? Jesus.

Tetris: Refer to Pac-Man comment

Super Mario 64, hated it. I never got Mario. Who the hell wants to play as an Italian plumber in a game that has nothing to do with Italy or plumbing. They should make the next Mario game about cleaning the shit out of the Venice canals. Seriously though, lots of people like it, just not my cup of tea.

deanobi5464d ago

what would be your top 10 then?

HenryFord5464d ago

...with the basic stuff:
1. Half-Life (Series)
There ist just no way around that.
2. Portal
Another No-Brainer for me
3. GTA3
It is way more revolutionary then the successors
4. Splinter Cell (Series)
Yeah, that would be my opinion - most people will disagree.
5. Counter-Strike (Series)
6. Battlefield (Series)
7. Call of Duty (Series - excluding: 3 and MW2)
MW2 is a bloody punch in the face.
8. M(ario) K(art) 64
Yeah, you have to give me that one. I played it soooooooooo often, it has to come up here (even though the game itself might be crap)
9. Mirros Edge
Even though it was by no means perfect, the idea and the style is just so fucking awesome! I love this game.
10. Medal of Honor (Series)

nix5464d ago (Edited 5464d ago )

wow.. top ten greatest is really hard thing to summerise. i guess there's one in every genre which revolutionised the industry. q:

Serg5464d ago

I stuck to one game per genre, and really these are probably not the best games ever as far as public opinion goes, but these 10 games have consumed so much time of my life that they deserve a spot.

In no particular order, the numbers don't indicate rating:

1. Quake 3 Arena (FPS)
2. Tekken 3 (Beat 'em up)
3. Gran Turismo 2 (Racing)
4. Grand Theft Auto 3 (Sandbox)
5. Shadow of the Colossus (Action Adventure)
6. God of War 2 (Hack and Slash)
7. Secret of Mana (RPG)
8. Total Annihilation (RTS)
9. Transport Tycoon (Tycoon)
10. Super Mario 64 (Jump 'n' run)

God that was hard, not so much finding the games, but which ones to put there.

NecrumSlavery5464d ago (Edited 5464d ago )

10. Super Smash Bros Melee (Best in the series)
9. Luigi's Mansion (Most underrated treasure)
8. Flower (just because it is the most unique experience)
7. Bioshock (Steampunk drew me into this FP exploration)
6. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Better than Ocarina)
5. Metal Gear Solid (Well the series as a whole)
4. Kingdom Hearts (Disney + Final Fantasy = bliss)
3. Fallout 3 (The futuristic post apocalyptic 40s retro theme just blew me away)
2. Chrono Trigger (My favorite RPG after all these years)
1. Oddworld Abe's Oddysee & Exoddus (Oddworld still is my favorite game, I count the first two as one since they are one completely fluid story.)

ReservoirDog3165464d ago

This would be an acceptable list if you switched mw2 for CoD4. Besides it being obviously better, it was more groundbreaking at the time whereas mw2 just rode that success for better or worse.

bacano5464d ago

It's your opinion... BTW Do you like videogames??

deanobi5464d ago

I was going to ask the same thing.
World of Warcraft was incidentally just outside.

I think theres a false perception that we dont rate new games such as halo within the greatest games ever made because of their age. I reckon in a decades time people will be raving about halo being in their top 10.

Mista T5464d ago (Edited 5464d ago )

WHAT THE HELL IS MW2 DOING ON THIS LIST

frustration must be expressed in caps at times folks, and this is one instance

this is one of the worst lists I've ever seen, this is my list

10.Gran Turismo
9. Gran Theft Auto San Andreas
8. Goldeneye 007
7. Counter Strike
6. Super Mario Bros.
5. Half Life 2
4. Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots
3. Doom
2. Final Fantasy VII
1. Half Life

halojunkie5464d ago

DEMONS SOULS. NUFF FKN SAID.

NastyLeftHook5464d ago

AGREED. dem0ns souls pawns any game on this list.

Donny5464d ago

uncharted 2, demons souls.

RatFuker5464d ago

start the revolution.

DEMONS SOULS FTW!!!!

5464d ago
STONEY45464d ago

Imo, any top 10 that places Halo above Deus Ex (which isn't even there, wtf) fails.

ian725464d ago

I don't really know what my top 10 all time games would be, but the only one on this list I would have in mine would be GTA San Andreas, the rest I'm not too bothered about.
I did spend many hours playing San Andreas, and it was all fun. The only other game I can think of which I liked playing as much if not more was Deus Ex. I would definately have those two in my top ten.

bacano5464d ago

You' re rather young, right? Just like @HenryFord

HenryFord5464d ago

What is young in your opinion?
I played a lot of classical games, but I'm just a FPS-Guy...

mrcash5464d ago

I loved san andreas, but my number 1 has to be Super mario3 I still play it to this day.

STONEY45464d ago (Edited 5464d ago )

"Let me guess...
You' re rather young, right? Just like @HenryFord"

You must be young if you're calling him that when he has Deus Ex in there, which is over 10 years old, and considered by the people who played it to be one of the, if not the best game of all time. And reading your comment below, you agree with the list and want Gears of War 2 in there. You're probably younger than him.

bacano5464d ago

Finally I see a list I (almost) absolutely agree. I suppose that PS3 users would like to see UC2 in it, as much as I'd have included Gears of War 2. But, honestly, if we try to collect games "which change(d) the industry as we know it" when released, I think puncafish guys are right.

WrAiTh Sp3cTr35464d ago

Yeah, most of my games would probably come from the Nintendo era, but Gears impressed me so it shot up to the top of my list. It laid the ground work for what this gen would be like.

BeaArthur5464d ago

I'm confused as to how Super Mario 64 got on there since it is regarded by many to be one of the worst Mario's. Either way the list is pretty decent. These lists are always irrelevant because you can't really compare an RPG to a shooter and say one is necessarily that much better than the other because they are too different.

Myze5464d ago

Eh, what? Where in the world did you get that SM64 is considered one of the worst? In my opinion, for Mario games, the top three are Super Mario Brothers 3, Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy 2. However, there are quite a few that would be really close and better than a lot of the games on this list (Super Mario World 1 and 2, first Galaxy and of course the first Super Mario Bros.).

My list would vary a lot from this one. While I don't agree with the list (especially MW2...wtf?), I respect that everyone has different opinions in games, and so a list like this is rarely in 100% agreement with me.

Here's my list (if they are close in order, would probably go either way):

10. Half-Life 2 (only FPS I could stomach putting in my top 10)
9. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
8. Secret of Mana
7. Uncharted 2
6. Final Fantasy Tactics
5. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
4. Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross (liked about equal, for different reasons)
3. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
2. Final Fantasy 6
1. Xenogears

As you can see, I love a lot of the older JRPGs, and could easily put a lot of other ones on the list (FF4, FF7-10, Dark Cloud 2, Shining Force 1-2, Grandia, Star Ocean 2nd Story, Suikoden 1-2, Persona 1-4 (and other SMT games), etc.). Lot of good WRPGs I would have in a top 50-100 as well (Baulder's Gate 1-2, Planescape: Torment, Knights of the Old Republic 1, Mass Effect 1-2, Dragon Age, etc.).

Pokemon Gen 10 Will Allegedly Be Nintendo Switch 2 Exclusive, Location Revealed

Nintendo and The Pokemon Company's Pokemon Gen 10, codenamed Gaia, will be exclusive to the upcoming Switch 2, based on a new rumor.

badz14947d ago

Is anyone expecting anything less? It will be exclusive to Switch 2 eventhough it will still look like a 3DS game

Inverno47d ago

I think the 3DS games look better than anything GF released on Switch.

--Onilink--47d ago

To be fair, The Pokemon Company operates quite independently, so it wouldn’t have been that strange for a Pokemon game coming out in just the 2nd year of the S2’s life to still be crossgen. I mean, just how long into the PS5 and SX life are we and we are still seeing plenty of crossgen stuff

gold_drake47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

not surprised.

nintendo was prepared to have some games sell the console.

im sure the game will still look like its from the ps2 era tho.

coldfire98446d ago

that is in part because of the chip shortage when everyone over reacted to sars in 2019.

Kosic47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

I've lost interest in pokemon, the mega evolve stuff was a poor digimon rip off, then the stuttering mess the 3d versions are.
I'd love a remake of gold/silver in a top down view like lets go pikachu had, but sticking with the traditional pokemon mechanics.

CrimsonWing6946d ago

Uh, yea, that’s how console generations are supposed to work…

Halo CE Mod Adds a New Way to Play Co-Op in the Worst Way Imaginable

This Halo CE mod allows a new way to play co-op, but probably in the worst possible way.

spicelicka70d ago

This looks like cursed halo at its finest, love it. They need to bring mods to consoles.
