LOL at "Sam and Max hit the road" over Final Fantasy 7 and Goldeneye. I've never even heard of that game, let alone heard of it being good enough to be ranked higher than what are argued by some as the best RPG and best FPS of all time. [/ QUOTE ] Sam and Max hit the road is an amazing game and the fact that you've never heard of it makes all your opinions suspect. The fact that you think FF7 and Goldeneye are arguably the best RPG and FPS of all time makes all of your opinions worthless.

You could make "legitimate" arguments for both being the best, but it's pretty clear upon reflection that neither is the best in their genre, groundbreaking and amazing as they may be.

Re: IGN Top 100
Let me preface my opinions by saying that I'm only 19 and have only been playing video games for 9-10 years, so I don't have as much of a perspective on the history of video games as some others do. However, I feel that *for their time* FF7 and Goldeneye could be considered the best in their genres when they were released. Obviously Halo series, as well as many others have passsed Goldeneye, but that doesn't change how great it was when it was first released.

Re: IGN Top 100
Day of the Tentacle is a very fun game, but I didn't know it was actually considered good. Anyone else ever play it?
I don't think I could put FF7 much higher because FF3 is much better. Should probably get around to beating chrono trigger one of these days, I keep hearing good things.

[/ QUOTE ] Exactly, in 1997 EGM released it's top 100 games of all time. Goldeneye was 25 while FFVII was 21. It is very easy to look back at certain games and see what has been improved on them over the years, but for the time these were two games that really impacted future games. I will probably never play a game as much as I played Goldeneye for as long as I live.

If they were as hugely impactful on future games as you imply, they would have cracked the top 10 in that 1997 list. They are great games that made incremental improvements to already existing concepts. The games that are remembered on top lists are the ones that broke ground with new concepts or reinvented old ones. You are probably overestimating these games' importance because it was in your gaming heyday.

Re: IGN Top 100
Happy to see Secret of Mana on the list
Surprised to see Link's Awakening. Good game though. Star Fox is a great game, but SF64 better be on the list then. FF7 makes the list at 76, although it would hit #1 in most overrated RPGs. Take out the FMVs and it's average. The game pales to FF6,C Trigger, Secret of Mana,FFT, and Suikoden 2 Goldeneye, the game I played to death 7th-8th grade. Classic RE1 makes the list, it was a good game for it's time and did start the RE franchise, and inspired Silent Hill and Fatal Frame (among others) Tecmo Bowl? No TSB? Outrageous. MGS2 is kind of high on the list. The plot was awful. Mega Man 2! W00T Wolfenstein, great game but liked Doom more.

Re: IGN Top 100
Doom should be top 10, maybe top 20.
Prince of Persia is a good pick, that game was awesome. The plot was really engaging too, by the end of the game it was like a book I couldn't put down.
