Issue 100 (or should that be #308?) is out now.

Personally I would have bumped out Beyond (a low point), Simpson's Hit and Run, Gran Turismo 4 & Call of Duty Black Ops for Wipeout (any of 'em bar the PS2 version), something a bit different (Vib Ribbon, Parappa The Rapper), Destruction Derby 2/Colin McRae 2 or 4 &, what a catastrophe this is, Broken Sword 1 or 2.

Crash Bandicoot & Spyro The Dragon are interesting ones...I'm not quite sure why people have voted for these 2 ahead of the sequels. Crash Bandicoot was basically like a sports franchise...it was simply more of the same but they just made the same thing better each year. Therefore I would have gone with 3. At least Sony could bring Crash Bandicoot back. Sypro is one of those games that I think was of its time. There was nothing wrong with the PS2 version at all, but I think it proved even back in I think it was 2002 or 3, the character was done.

A rather 1 dimensional Top 20, but at least they're all great games. Crash does stand out though. It was good, but lets not overplay it. That and it also sent me mental back in 1996 with its poxy save system that attempted to make up for the fact not everyone had a memory card. Skyrim was broken...but they did fix it. Eventually.

PSone rather under-represented...but I guess it depends on the age of those who voted. Anyone under the age of 20 will have basically missed that era completely.

Other than the high placement of Uncharted 3 and Crash Bandicoot I can't disagree with any of that.

Thanks for the past 20 years of gaming Sony PlayStation, looking forward to the next 20 :datass:

Edit: Mass Effect 2 and Tekken 3 are way too low.

ctrl+F, search for God Hand. Phrase not found. Search for Okami. Phrase not found. Not a single Clover Studios game.

Absolute horseshit.

I can see there being an argument for Crash 2 being better than 3 but both 2 and 3 were huge steps up from 1.

Was I the only one that didn't get Spyro? All I remember was running around flat bland levels charging into thing.

Its a pretty ridiculous (though not all that surprising) list.

If you want the best of anything asking for the general consensus isn't the way to go about it.

I was in my teenage years while Spyro was the rage. It's a very simplistic game that seems to be adored by kids. And it isn't Super Mario Bros 64.

It sure as hell isn't Mario 64, the games shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence.

The Last of Us the best game of all time? strawberry float right off. It's not even the best Playstation game of last gen, let alone the best game of all time.

Myself along with reviews don't think so...

Two Crash games on the list, Two Jaks, all the Uncharteds they made, The Last of Us. And five of them sat in the top 10. Naughty Dog must be red raw after being tossed off that hard.

3 was a 6/10 at best.

Individual reviews? No. Collective reviews? Yes.

I really think you should go back and play Uncharted 1, it's not aged well, it's certainly not as good as 3.

Hey, we didn't make any list! Er, well, actually we did I suppose over on our Facebook, where all five of us posted our personal lists, but the printed list was 100% reader-voted.

But it's not divisive really, it's painfully strawberry floating conventional. Minus MGS, the top ten could probably be replaced with a list of the last gen games with the biggest marketing budgets.
