3 GC games

...there's a reason the 360 is the console of choice at the moment.

1 NES game
2 N64 games
2 Saturn games
3 PC games
3 Amiga games
4 PS1 games
4 PS2 games
6 PS3 games

Second game just crossed 100 points. If you want to know the two games that have crossed it, look at the first reply to this thread!

It was all Suzzopher's fault.

This is just...gooseberry fool...I mean getting it down to 25 was hard enough without thinking about how it all shakes down below Metal Gear Solid. Even though I had to order them each game, in different ways, is as good as the next. In the end I said 'strawberry float it' to myself because I could easily rework the list and still fall to the same conclusion...in my eyes they are all great strawberry floating games.

Hopefully PES won't be treated as one entity, over the years yhey've changed so much! I have especially fond memories of 3,4 and 5 but after that the magic went for me. Much like FIFA I suppose.

I really hope people are putting down the Wii version of Resi 4 because it really does totally eclipse any other version of the game.

With that said, I found myself far more reluctant to boot REmake out of my top 25 than I was to sling ResWii 4's hook



Did any of you guys have any criteria for picking your lists, outside of you really enjoyed it, some of mine were;

Had to have finished the game (hence no GTA's, no Ico/SOTC)
I would be happy to be sat down in front of it now and play away

Those were my two must fill criteria, other things like it just can't be a good multiplayer (hence no COD4) were decided on a case by case basis.

The game has to be really special enough for me to like it for long, long time, for example Super Mario 64, I still can play it after all these years - and I can spent ages on it if I want to, it's wonderful game.

Others games like Fallout 3, Tetris DS & Diablo II is due how much hours I've spent on them, and still loving them as ever.

Tetris was a particularly painful to cut for me, the original GB version stayed in the list right up until the final 30, but in the end it just came down to whether I would play it over any of those other games if given the chance now, and I couldn't in all honesty say that I would.

The Wii version of Resi 4 is counted as the same as the GC and PS2 versions, no point doing otherwise. There are some other series that could be grouped together. That'll be done with the admin stuff tonight. Moving the deadline forward to 5pm aswell so I can get more done this evening.

PM sent. This was the list I eventually settled on.

1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
2. Super Mario 64
3. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
4. Paper Mario
5. Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations
6. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
7. Super Mario Galaxy
8. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
9. Resident Evil 4
10. Pokemon Red/Blue
11. Metroid Prime
12. Yoshi's Island
13. Super Mario World
14. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
15. Super Mario Sunshine
16. Phoenix Wright: Justice For All
17. FIFA 09
18. Timesplitters 2
19. Goldeneye
20. Perfect Dark

I've had 11 lists to input today and I've only just done them all for the main points system, gotta do it all again for the other one now!

Actually, I'm gonna close voting now. If I have to do many more I'm going to kill something

Well, I've just wasted half an hour then.

If you're going to give a deadline then actually stick to it. People could still be working on their lists.

PsychicSykes wrote:Well, I've just wasted half an hour then.

Okay it's still til 5. I'm just bloody tired of lists

Sorry dude

Not quite the order I had before due to the fact I deleted it after I thought I'd missed the deadline, but I'm happy with it more or less.
