Uh, what? X-Com: UFO Defense is the only one of those games I'm not familiar with and SS2 is the only other one that might be considered a "cult game nobody bought," and it's deservedly on that list because it's one of the best shooters ever (see Zero Punctuation's BioShock review for reference). Warcraft II, SimCity 2000, and Half-Life aren't cult games, nor did nobody buy them.

I'm glad they didn't ride Half-Life's nuts into the top 25, although I'm sure HL2 will be a little overrated.

Shadow of the Colossus is a huge stretch at #16. I mean I love the game and all but it is between Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Super Mario World. I know Shadow is pretty and all, but come on.

Oh, didn't realize they were into top 20. Obv they massively underrate Doom's staying power. 19? Please, it was the birth of a [censored] genre, was light-years ahead of anything else out at the time and is still playable and fun today with source mods.

Man, I think XCom and HL were placed much too low. I didn't like HL2 nearly as much as the original, so if HL2 is in the top 10, I'll be very sad. The guys at IGN's PC branch clearly didn't have much say in this list, since they crowned XCom the #1 PC game of all time, and deservedly so imo. Yet, they mention that the PC guys gave it the #1, and they stick it behind a bunch of other great, but not quite as perfect (imo) PC games.

Way too much love for Nintendo on this list, especially for the overrated SNES.

I'm struggling to come up with what games will be locks for the top 10.

The only ones I can think of right now are
Super Mario 64
Zelda OOT

I'd have to think Civilization 4 will be up there. Not sure if it will, but I think it should be. As for what else, I have no idea.

Super Mario 64
Zelda OOT
Super Metroid
Tetris
A Link to the Past
Half Life 2
Civilization 2
Star Control 2?
Resident Evil 4??

Final Fantasy III seems to be a lock, agreed Civ4 will probably make it too.

EDIT: Eh, thinking about it FFIII probably isn't even a good choice, sick sick game but FFII was more breakthrough (already on list), just that Chrono Trigger was up there and FFIII hadn't shown yet seemed odd.

People on IGN seem to be suspecting GOW and RE4, while both great games, I doubt to see them on here, but who knows.
