Polygon is making a top 500 games list. A Kim Kardashian phone game has already beaten Zelda 2 and Ninja Gaiden. Some heads gonna asplode.
Just saw this - if there was ever a closure that felt unfair, this is it.
Plus, Perfect World reduced Motiga down to a skeleton crew. They made Gigantic which has been the only multiplayer game I've been into aside from Overwatch. Great art design, and fun objective-based, not-quite-MOBA-ish gameplay.

There aren't 500 good games. Tim Rogers was right.
I could probably come up with 500 games I like. I'm sure Polygon's list will be as bad as that '1001 Games You Must Play Before You Die' book. Okay, maybe not that bad.

If you included every system ever, including arcade, there are probably 500. Like the ps2 would probably have 50 to 100 alone.
This is one top games list I can see Mario 64 being on
Game choices aside, the writing in that Polygon list is already bugging me.
Someone should tell them that side-scrolling platformers existed before GnG and SMB (I will on their site once they activate me). You can't really co-invent a genre if it's already established by several games. Jump Bug, Jungle Hunt, Snokie, Atari Aztec Challenge, Dragon Buster, Pac-Land, Flicky, Legend of Kage, etc. all predate these.Originally Posted by Jeremy Parish
It is just lazy writing without much historical perspective or research. I wouldn't bother.
