@mrantimatter: Folklore? The first level, sure, but after that it went back to the same old tired game design. Wartopia, was it? :P Read more

@Icemael: Half the games you mentioned came out in 2007 or after. That hardly disproves the point that game design between 1998 and now has been obsessed with the colours grey and brown. Read more

I'm so glad colour is returning to games after nearly a decade obsessed with the colour brown. :) Read more

@Sloopydrew: Personally, I'd keep WoW on there because I think it's a good game even if you aren't playing with other people. The immersion via the world coupled with some pretty interesting lore makes up for the odd "kill ten rats" quest. Which, you know, isn't too different from most RPG quests anyway. Parts of it… Read more

@Sloopydrew: Haha, it's all subjective, dude. You probably don't want to know my opinion of RE4, but it's not pretty. ;) Read more

As I realised commenting before, this process was flawed because there was no distinction between games that were influential and games that were actually the best. You can see this with the removal of Super Mario Galaxy for Super Mario 64 and the reasoning behind it: 'Desilets told us that "all the rules of 3D… Read more

@Malloc: See, is this the top 10 BEST games of all time or the top 10 MOST INFLUENTIAL games of all time. There's a BIG difference. Read more

@a-red: Yeah, I came in from the thumbnail, and before I did I thought this was going to be a tribute to Cannon Fodder. :( Read more

I am so out of touch. There are only two games on that list I would put there myself, and five of them wouldn't even make my top 50. Read more

@theubersmurf: See, for me, the pacing is totally ruined by the vehicle sections. The control there is just so awful that it taints the rest of the game. Especially the bit with the dune buggy. Read more

The Game Boy Micro was awesome. Out of all the handhelds I've had (and I've pretty much had them all except the Tiger thingamajig), it's the only one I regret selling. (Only have an iPhone now.) So small and pure. Read more

@ikon: Yeah. And I'm not saying Half-Life 2 is crap or that no one should like it. I just don't get the gushing. Same with Ocarina of Time. Read more

@ikon: Off the top of my head, I'd place the following above Half-Life 2. Read more

@Danza: I take it you didn't get into the Starcraft II beta? Read more

You know, I don't get the obsession with Half-Life, especially Half-Life 2. I own it, I play it, and I like it, but holy shit it's not that good. The vehicle sections in particular make me want to kill kittens. Bad, bad, bad gameplay in those bits. Read more

Now that's a cute kid. Read more

@WiNg0o: The punchline about FreeBSD is pure awesome. :) Read more

@Spidery_Yoda: It's all about Shadow of the Beast, baby! :D Read more

Valiant effort. I noticed that Sidhe and Llamasoft are missing, but then again I would NOT want to put something like this together myself! Read more

@Nightfang777: And that's why high school kids can't vote. ;) Read more
