Guinness lists Top 50 Games of all time

[Azazel005]

It's late and I accidnetally deleted something like 800 words commentary.

Brief synopsis:

The list seems to take sales, accessability and technological advancement a bit to much top heart.

As good as Nintendo is and has been the process of awarding the same freaking concepts with refinement and jamming a new one on the list is beyond me.

Absence of games like Doom, Starcraft, Diablo, Baldur's Gate and Deus Ex are strange. Which lends it to an overall read that seems more like "THe top 50 games developed in Japan" list (I know they weren't all developed in Japan, but shit an awful lot of them were).

It's hard to understand why so many awards take into account a games history (GTA, Mario, Zelda) and just as many ignore the history (Bioshock but no System Shock, Super Metriod but none of it's pre-cursors, Castlevania:SoN, the PGR series the RE series and COD 4 but no other CODs?) If you wish to pick the best refinement of those concepts and award that I get it, but that part is not consistent.

Super Mario 3 was the best Mario anyway.

Also, Urge Halo 2 better then Halo 3? Come one now, fix ya list man!

I guess that was long and boring enough as is huh?

really? do you not play that many video games? i have a grudge against the Halo series, all the games are incredibly average but for some reason extremely popular.

That guinness list is lame btw.

Really Mothman? For console FPS games the Halo series set the bar with graphics, execution, and style in my opinion.

for me :
halo had the most interesting maps/backgrounds
the best music
it saved often
i loved the creatures/weapons
it was linear - not too hard but hard enough to be interesting


i dont really care for games. we have hundreds of them - many i bought for myself (most for the kid). the halo games are the only ones i cared to play for more than 20 minutes, let alone finish. games bore the hell out of me.

i dont care about what other people like - those are my 3 favorites.

i certainly dont claim to be a hard core gamer (and i'll never ever want to be)

The Halo games are all i'll ever need.

I think the Call Of Duty series blew it out of the water, even though its not specifically for consoles.
