Interesting list, to say the least. There are some glaring omissions, especially in the 1990s. I'll let you guys have a look and see what you come up with. What games do you think they missed big time?

Would've been nice if Dead Space was on there, but since Demon's Souls is, I can't complain. (Too much.) ;)
Now Playing: Clash Royale (mobile), Gravity Rush 2, Rayman Legends, Project CARS, Uncharted 4 Survival Mode ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

I just noticed that you can click each game for a little snippet about each game and the chance to vote whether or not you think the game deserves to be on the list.

Unforgivable omissions! Where is Ocarina of Time? Perfect Dark? any Fallout Game? EGM's 100 issue edition had a great top 100 list back when it came out.

After reading the list I have to say that it is terrible. :nope: easily the worst list of top 100 games of all time ever created. That's just my 2 cents

Any top 100 without Ocarina of Time can't be taken serious :facepalm:

It disturbs me that Wii Sports made the list but OoT didn't...

Yeah, OoT was the biggest mistake I noticed out of many. There are some games on there I've never even heard of, and I feel like I've been around long enough to know what the "elite" games that would be on a list like this should be.

That list is terrible... if you leave out OOT from a Top 100 list then you just failed immediately. There is no way there are 100 games that did more for gaming and were as innovative (and amazing) as OOT

well said! It and Majora's Mask both won for best game of all time on gamefaqs polls if I remember right. How can neither be on there at all?

Mario Kart Ocarina of Time. Ha.

I am glad Super Mario 64 made it on there though, at the time it was so overwhelming to have such freedom and control to do what you wanted to do within the game world. OOT definitely went leaps and bounds above this construct that SM64 laid down, however I really didn't think they'd mention one N64 game on this list. Thought PS1 and Dreamcast would dominate the 90's portion for some reason, thank god they threw Goldeneye in there as well.

I looked at the 80s and oh boy. Tecmo bowl over Super Tecmo Bowl? No way. TB was cool but it had a handful of fake teams. TSB had them all. And calling Mike Tyson's Punch Out just Punch Out is so weak!

Obviously the people who made the list are not real gamers. Seriously - No OOT, Unreal Tournament (or Quake 3 - basically either game that revolutionised multiplayer only games), Half-life 1.. please.

Maybe because the put the original Zelda they didn't want to put other games in the franchise (though they put two mario games in there)?


I am glad they put Deus Ex in there, but way to many omissions. Not very credible at all.

Pretty poor list - the omission of OoT is unforgivable, but nice to see nods to Rez and Ico - i adored those games.
