It's pretty good. Better than a lot of them. Metroid Prime should be in the top 25, though, imo, and there is no way I'd rank FF7 higher than FF4.

But yeah, it's a good list.

The misguided hate for Sunshine rears its ugly head again. Nice to see Wonder Boy on there, though; I found those games addictive as hell in my younger days.

Doom does not deserve to be on that list. Talk about garbage.

Sonic 1 not even in the top 40? Goldeneye only 19th? And where the hell is Perfect Dark???

Nice to see SMB3 at the top and Sonic CD doing well for once though.

This a different list to say the least

One of the best list I've personally seen but far from perfect. This list are so hard to put together and satisfy everyone.

Doom was awesome. Definitely deserves a place in the top 100 IMO.


Decent list, but Starfox/wing isn't in it...

Starfox 64 deserves to be way up there. And they seemed to miss out on lots of classics. Perfect Dark and Skies of Arcadia, of course! But what really makes me angry is that Mystical Ninja and Goemon's Great Adventure weren't even seen on there. Unbelievable. It's a shame they miss out on such great games.

This is one of the first times I somewhat agree with a "Top 100 Games of All Time" list!

I'm thrilled to see SMB 3 at the top, it's my personal favorite of all the super mario bros.

Tons better than any of the other "top 100" lists. There are a couple games I'd move around/take off the list, but other than that, very good.

SUPER METROID IS THE BEST GAME OF ALL TIME GRAAAAAGH.

Other than that, it's a good list. Halo should be on there, somewhere, and HL2 needs to shoot up a couple of spots.

Also, too many older games. A bit too much nostalgia.

Overall a very solid list and beats the crap out of every game mag & game site one I've seen so far.
