Guinness lists Top 50 Games of all time
 
So Guiness has thrown down an interesting list it certainly has some elements I'd agree with with some even larger omissions that surprised me.

Whacha'all think?

4 & 5 should be 1 & 2.

That looks a lot pro-Nintendo, if you ask me.

Sonic at 15, no Half-Life, no F.E.A.R., heck no Contra even??? One of the main reasons so many units of Gameboy were sold back in the early 90s was the huge popularity of Contra.

Disappointing list. I am sure Cheebs will agree with me here.

No love for FF VI?

Laughably bad list, their judges obviously don't know much about games. I've played all but 2 games on that list and I can't see where they're coming from. Outrun 2? Seriously? I'd rather play Beetle Adventure Racing.

Reminds me of the IMDB Top 250 list - lots of quality entries, but mostly pretty baffling.

Agreed.

And agreed.

To see BioShock on there and have it be as low as number 40 is just shocking. I think that it should be in the Top 20 at a minimum.

I also agree that Super Mario World should be ranked higher than Mario Kart, as should Super Mario Bros. Super Mario was simply ground-breaking NES entertainment and, to state the obvious, you couldn't have one without the other.

As V pointed out, there's love for Sonic 2, but the first Sonic was ground-breaking in its own way, and I thought that it surpassed Nintendo's technology when released. I think that both games should be on there.

...

AND WHERE THE HELL IS FALLOUT 3???????

FEAR doesn't belong in the top 50 games of all time, in my opinion hahaha...and I worked on it!

These kinds of lists are always so dumb to me anyway, though. Different people like different things...it's way too hard to nail down the important aspects and considerations of the different genres of games.

Like, in many ways Tetris should be #1 just because it is what it is....a perfectly addicting game for all occasions of boredom. In that regard, Windows Solitare could be on there, too, though.

My list would be way different, for sure. Mario Galaxy would be WAY higher than it is...and there is like nothing from Id on there, which is just wrong in so many ways. Doom 2 or Wolfenstein deserve recognition. Quake 2 come on!!!
