OMG YOU'RE SO HARDKORE!!!

I've got about 13 or 14 of those games on that list, I'm not ashamed to admit it.

i was going for the more apathetic vibe than the hardcore, but whatever.
Your sig has two games I've liked to see on the list.

I bought Need For Speed, Zelda, and Tony Hawk.

Jesus, how is EtM on there?

Sorry bout that, it's just used to what I'm seeing from this board, like "MADDEN IS NO. 1 HAHA ONLY STUPIDS LIKE IT", when Madden 2004 is a damn fine game.

Sure, I would have liked to have seen Disgaea and Culdcept, but they just aren't very casual gamer friendly and didn't have the marketing. Honestly, as much as I love Culdcept, I'd choose Madden over it for a big group setting, just more exciting.

Ya gotta admit, it's not shocking that ANY of these games are on here, well, except for Super Mario Advance 4.

i own 5 : / would own more if they were cheaper

The majority of gamers don't visit message boards or read gaming magazines, so they just go by what commercials, mtv, and magazines like Maxim (with their small gaming section) tell them.

And also, it was Matrix, before Matrix sucked.

Im surprised Mario Kart made the list because it was released so late in the year.

Hey, NFSU is #4 and it was released in November I believe.

But I guess that's what happens when you sell over a million copies in December alone!

I own 11 games on the list
