...if anyone has any idea of a scoring system, I will do the final list. My current idea, having scrapped a system wherein 100 points are allocated in total according to order as being too complicated for my simple mind, is that I just tally all mentions of a game. I also need suggestions on how to deal with mentions of series as opposed to single entries, because while having the series behave as a single game, other lists will have mentioned multiple entries, or some and not others deliberately, leading to those lists having less votes overall, if I count a mention of a series as a vote for all the constituent games, we have the opposite problem. I'm thinking of counting a vote for a series as half a vote for all entires mentioned explicitly by others.
One tally for every game on a list without caring about position sounds good(to me at least). As for series entries, how bout serials like Mass Effect and Walking Dead get grouped together into one slot, on the logic they were made(and likely sold) as such, and long running series with big jumps in gameplay, for example a 2d game vs a 3D game, get their separate entries on the grounds they are almost completely different games; although this could hit a snag with sequels that don't change much.
As for my list, in no real order;
Super Mario Bros. 3
OutRun 2
Super Mario Galaxy
BioShock 1
Saints Row 2
Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver
SimCity 4
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
Command & Conquer(AKA Tiberian Dawn)
NiGHTS Into Dreams
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Cool Boarders 2
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Batman: Arkham City
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Need For Speed: Carbon
Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved
Just Cause 2
Blur
Sonic Generations
