IGN Readers Top 99 Games of All Time

[g0zen]

The following list was created using reader review ratings for the 31,000 plus videogames in our extensive database. Your ratings were collected, compiled and arranged into this exhaustive list based on your user data up to April 11, 2005.

Our criteria for creating this list of your picks for the Top 99 Games of All Time are as follows:

All games had to receive at least 100 reader ratings.

This list is comprised of single, stand-alone titles and doesn't include compilations, expansion packs or add-ons.

Titles with multiple editions such as collector's boxes, gold editions or re-releases have been consolidated into one single entry.

Only games that have been released are eligible (this is for all you punks who think the upcoming GameCube Legend of Zelda is a perfect "10" already).

Games released anywhere in the world (that means Japanese-only releases) qualify for the list.

Multiple platforms for winners are listed if the games are essentially the same. However, if a game on multiple platforms shares a name but is different enough in design or gameplay, it has not been included in the "Platforms:" field.

After you've had a chance to check out the readers' list, tell us what you think about it on the IGN Boards.

Never say that gamers are smart.

IBTN. IGN has stabbed McDonald's in the back the way Sega stabbed Nintendo in the back by porting Super Monkey Ball to other systems.

I'm pretty shocked Halo/Halo2 weren't both in the top 10, and also that GoldenEye was ranked ahead of both of them (considering your typical IGN voter).


Others:

Advance Wars #62? (Best GBA game of all time)

Here's my favorite: Starcraft #74 .. a few spaces down #71 Brothers in Arms ... Lawl.

FFIII #20 then Chrono Trigger at #4 ? ehhh.

God of War at #6?

What?!
