GamesTM 100 Covers

Image


Imagine-Publishing/NowGamer wrote:GamesTM magazine has chosen the top 100 games of all time to celebrate its one hundredth issue.

Every game in the list will represent a unique issue 100 cover with only 400 printed of each. The list spans the entire length of video games with retro classics like Donkey Kong and R-Type sharing the limelight with console hits like Halo and Goldeneye.

Big franchises are also catered for with Tomb Raider, Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, Resident Evil and Street Fighter games among those making the cut.

“It's always tough coming up with a top 100 list”

Some of the best contemporary games are also on the list with Gears of War 2, Half-Life 2 and LittleBigPlanet all making the list.

"It's always tough coming up with a top 100 list – especially when ensuring it represents the past 30 years of gaming fairly," said Rick Porter, games™ editor-in-chief.

"It's even harder designing 100 covers that present the games in the way that they deserve. While the more standard covers in our 100 look great, the majority saw a lot of extra time and effort so that the fans of the game in question were really catered for. After all, there are only 400 of each out there, so we feel it's important that those who make the effort to track down their favourite get something truly collectable."

The 100th issue of the multi-award winning multiformat games™ goes on sale 2 September, with 100 special covers featuring the 100 Greatest Games Of All Time.

Now I wonder where they got this idea from...

So, what's your favourite?

The amount of text ruins the covers. Edge did it a whole lot better.

Bayonetta one looks the nicest, I suppose.

They fact that most of them are restricted to those boxes ruins them.

Too much text and the image being restricted to a small amount of space.

Ones I do like though:

Another World
Nights
Goldeneye
Crazy Taxi
Resident Evil 4 - Best Cover.
Portal

Earlier ones seem to be generally better.

They've made a right mess of Rez.

Another World is probably the best one there.

I wouldn't mind the Lara Croft one, but I'm not going hunting all over for it.

Didn't someone on this forum actually end up getting all 200 variations when Edge did this?

I don't think so, it would have cost around £900. From memory someone ended up with around 15-20, maybe Hugo.

The secret of Mana one is the best. Ive got that poster that came with the game.

Failing getting that one, id go for either Bayonetta or Halo.

The Bioshock one is awesome.

I suppose subs' copies will just be luck of the draw?

Some bad choices there.

Devil May Cry 3 and Bayonetta? Only needs Bayonetta. And that's just for starters. It's almost half one, so I shant go on.

Oh and the World of Warcraft cover is regrettably terrible. GamesTM should be ashamed.

I totally do this thing called StreetPass UK and it's real good like.
