A number of factors were taken into consideration when selecting a winner: How good the game was compared to others of its time, its overall game design, how well it stands up over the years, how influential it has been in the realm of gaming and just plain how much fun we had playing it are all points for contention. [/ QUOTE ] Super Mario Brothers and Tetris rightfully destroy a lot of games when judged by this criteria |

[/ QUOTE ] Super Mario Brothers and Tetris rightfully destroy a lot of games when judged by this criteria [/ QUOTE ] I know and when based on their criteria they used for judging, I have no problem with those two as #1 and 2. However, I feel like that as games and systems evolve, there are better games that can replace those games as the best ever. So by my criteria, SMB and Tetris are still very good games, but not the two best ever. Honestly, Tetris was just a puzzle game that I'm pretty sure my buddy (Who is a computer Science major at UM) could make in not that long of a time. It was influential, but I feel like there are games that have passed it in terms of being the greatest ever. |

Re: IGN Top 100
I don't want to necessarily search through the top 100 at this time, but was "Alone in the Dark" in there?
I am assuming not, but that game, as far as I know, was the first real survival horror game and at the time was pretty neat. I guess my question is, if that game didn't spawn survival horror-a pretty popular genre-, what are we giving credit for doing so...Resident Evil? |

[/ QUOTE ] It was there and Resident Evil was a little bit higher. It's kind of like Doom and Wolfenstein 3D...Doom gets all the credit because it's so far superior and only came out a little while afterwards. However, Alone in the Dark wasn't the beginning of survival horror anyway, as they say in the write-up (it's in the 80s or 90s). |

Re: IGN Top 100
Top 10 looked pretty much like people on here expected it seems. Civ 2, HL2, FF3, Zelda OOT and LTTP, SM63, Tetris and SMB.
Only one I pretty much beef with is Super Metroid at 7, and as much as I looooove RE4, think 10 is really high, but I think Im gonna replay that now that Im thinking about it, heh. |
