You can't put a game that came out a month ago on that list. Oh, and the fact that Halo: CE put the Xbox on the map behind CoD4. Don't get me wrong, it was a great game, but it failed to create really new any innovation and creativity. Halo: CE did that and more. Sim City, Bioshock, God of War and Diablo 2 were NOT better than Halo: CE. I have lost all respect for Game Informer. [Edited on 12.05.2009 7:03 PM PST]

halo CE #39? *unsubscribes*

27. Bioshock I was :D <3 also, where is MW2 on the list? couldn't find it.

For the most part this list satisfies me, although I was surprised to see that Halo 3 did not make it onto the list. It definitely deserves to up there. Also, Braid deserves to have a higher rank in the list. [Edited on 12.03.2009 4:58 PM PST]

Nice to see some people can hold logical arguements without flaming.

I like that list

Halo 3 should certainly be in the top 200.

Second, your more than a day late and a dollar short. Third, I honestly don't care. If you want to post, at least make it a contribution.

Morrowind was below Oblivion??? Just no. Morrowind was infinitely superior. Oblivion is it's less talented but better looking younger brother.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Yabyub They're giving way too much credit to the older games. They were good, but nowadays, would they beat Halo?[/quote]Actually, yes. Halo is sh-t compared to Mario or Sonic (Genesis).

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Arbiduck Jak 3 made the list. This pleases me.[/quote]

A lot of those games shouldn't be in the places that they are in.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CoffeeTunic [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] mrSHINANIGANS58 Is it me or does it seem like magazines add the classics to the top of lists like this because they feel obligated? I mean, I understand these are the bases for all that's to come but that doesn't make it the most fun, long, interesting or whatnot game of all time. On a side note, glad to see Borderlands on there, one of my top 3 games of all time (Next to Halo 2 and Shadow of the Colossus!). I think it should be a bit higher up but that's okay. And Jak 3 made the list.This, this is an achievement.[/quote]The classics are just that; classic. Those are the games that started the gaming revolution. Have you ever played the original Zelda? I can't say yes, but I have heard stories from my parents of 30-year old people spending hours on that game. For it's time, it was cutting edge; and while it's not cutting edge anymore, it is still fun and beats many games today. Grapics, cutscenes, or pixels don't make a great game. It's the game itself.[/quote] I most certainly have played and loved the original Zelda, and by no means do graphics, pixels, OR cutscenes make a good game. I just think that people don't realize that games do improve. Sure not every sequel is better than it's prior but games have come a LONG, impressive way from when I first started playing them. No doubt Zelda deserves a place up there, but I wasn't so talking about number one as I am the first 50 or so games. I just think that despite these games being the foundation there are games that had a bigger impact on their respective time period.

Incredibly pathetic and cruddy list. I am disappointed in their opinion.

Why isn't AVP 1 and AVP 2 in the top 50? [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcNLQ_XIR3s]The good old days...[/url]
