The 100 Best Games Ever

Edge Magazine have recently published yet another of those ever wonderful gaming lists that allege to cover the best games ever made. Ignoring the fact that once again we're being asked to hand over ten of your English pounds in exchange for a list of games which you could write on the back of a beermat without opening the magazine itself... I'm left wondering just how accurate these lists really are.

Is it still the case that as good as it is, Ocarina Of Time is The Best Game Ever Made or is it just so terminally dull and predictable a choice that it ends up there because, well, thats just how these lists work? No thought, no imagination, no heart and no soul.

Colour me unconvinced that if the readers of this blog were to vote on their best games we'd see such a tired and predictable list. So, putting the arguments of how useless lists like this are - I reckon we should show them how a real list would look.

How about you fire me over your top 10 best ever games, and by that - they can be freeware, commercial, shareware, remakes, public domain, console games, arcade games... whatever your list would actually contain and in a few weeks I'll collate all the info together, add them all up and post them onto the internet for everyone to pick over? Don't just throw something in because you feel duty bound that it should be there, put it in because you believe wholeheartedly that this is one of the best games you've ever played.
