Tetris was much more influential than HL2, being one of the big introductory games. The list isn't just about quality. Probably why Pandora Tomorrow is on there, the single player is probably the weakest in the series, but it's multiplayer was fantastic. I can't think of any games that had such drastically different teams. Starcraft maybe, but that's an RTS not a stealth/shooter. Chaos Theory definitely earns its place on the list, Pandora....maybe.Woodsey said:

If this is an influential list, then why is Counter Strike at around 100 when it was 2nd most online played game apart from starcraft and WoW. Also half-life original should of been higher, it started storys in games basically. I know that sounds very fan boyish but ahwell.
I don't know about this one. Legend Of Zelda, seriously?
It's okay, I guess although my fav games have taken a beating here.
I don't want to sound like a jerk but there are TOO MUCH Nintendo classics. Just because they were the first to try something, doesn't mean that they're better.
Still, there's a lot of Call Of Duty. I like mah Call Of Duty.
EDIT: And no fucking Indigo Prophecy. Hmmm.

That's weird, I found every COD better than the previous one.ProfessorLayton said:
I guess without the "one game per franchise" rule my list would look something like:
1. MW2
2. MW
3. COD2
4. COD
Red Alert?...... At 115?........
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
LoZ at number 1.
Quelle Supris...
Windwaker was the best in my books though.

Not a bad list at all, one of the better ones that i've seen. I do think Pong and resident evil could of been a bit higher though, not because of what great games they are, but because they are both landmark titles.
Has Eternal Darkness made the same impact on both the gaming industry and modern culture itself that Tetris has? Is Eternal Darkness played and enjoyed by people of nearly all ages and nearly all walks of life? No? Than your opinion, quite frankly, is invalid.HUBILUB said:
Hell, Tetris isn't my favorite game either, but at least I can recognize that it truly is one of the greatest games ever made, if not THE greatest game ever made.
164. X-COM: UFO Defense (PC, 1993)Gorfias said:
I think it's criminal that X-COM is ranked as low as it is, but at least it's on the list. Also: no Syndicate, no TIE Fighter (yes, X-Wing's there... but they clearly weren't following the one-game-from-each-series rule someone above mentioned they should have).
I would have preferred separate PC and console lists (that worked better in the 90s when they really were apples and oranges than it does today, I suppose, but there's plenty of 80s and 90s games on that top 200).
Fallout 1 at 117? No Quake 1? Half-Life 1 at 29?
A lot of strange question marks but otherwise a decent list.

I'm not suprised to see I've beaten a lot of them, but I don't think the original Zelda deserved to be number 1.
I kinda like the numbering and, yes, Mike Tyson Punch Out was huge. Not the first Mario game huge, but I remember news stories about it and people jabbering on about who they beat and how.
Interesting that Zelda was #1. That was the game that made me surrender my Commodore 64 and get an NES, and never look back.
