Top 100 Video Games of All Time Part 1

[@MTarantino]

It brings a tear to my eye to watch old g4 content, as kid watching these shows made me want to do nothing but play games. Watching episodes of cheat so that I could find all the secrets to every game I got my hands on. Episodes of x play to see what was to come in the future of games and reviews of games that were out for people to love, and Morgan Webb “the goddess of gaming” keeping my teenage boy mind in full focus of every bit of the shows subject. Ah a simpler time, a better time

[@brainrich1358]

I loved Cheat, had a huge crush on the host of the show

at least it's better than any list IGN (Ignorant Gaming News) turns out.

One of the funniest parts is that 3 separate mainline NBA games made this list, out of the thousands of other contenders we need to put 3 entries of a franchise notorious for being the exact same every year.

[@FrozenUSA]

I am so glad they put Wii Sports on the list as a family game. For me it really was. It was part of the last memory I have with my grandfather. I went down to Florida to help my parents move him into an Alzheimer facility and while my parents helped pack up his place, the two of us played the game for like an hour and he beat my butt on EVERYTHING. It was the last time I saw him. He died almost two years later :(

All the retro games should be at top because they inspired all the newer games. Though I am happy to see this list features many old skool retro games, because let's face it those first games had the best original ideas/concepts wich ever since been duplicated endlessly. Tetris, Pong, Copter, Breakout, Snake, Frogger, Simon are all in my top 10. Also in my top 100: Claw, NFS Most Wanted/Underground/Carbon/Hot Pursuit, Trackmania Sunrise, Donkey Kong Country 1-3, Mafia II, Trine 1, F.E.A.R. 1-3, Tom Clancey's games, Darksiders II, Batman Arkham City, UEFA Champions League, FIFA 07, NHL '99/2000/2002, Air Hockey, Unreal Tournament, Magic Pockets, Super Bounce Out, Flatout (2), Doom 3, Mario Tennis, Virtua Tennis, Megaman 1-5, Final Fight, Adventure Island 1-3, Ballance, Half Life 2, Grand Theft Auto III/San Andreas, Max Payne 1/2, Call of Duty 1/4, Assassin's Creed 1-3, Super Mario Bros 1-3, Super Mario Kart, Soldier Of Fortune II, NBA Jam...some of these belong in the top 100.

So I have watched this list multiple times, it's fun to watch, to see how many games I've played or know. And I still am super pissed all the time that NO Devil May Cry game is on here, anywhere, on any of these videos...was it not influential enough? Did it not inspire God of War and every other mega violent game enough?

[@Swagtildawn]

No, old games like Breakout, Pong, Snake, etc should NOT be at the top of this list. This is the top 100 games of all time, not the most influential games of all time. Its not solely based on their influence. No go ahead, try to play pong for 8 hours and I will play an Elder Scrolls game for 8 hours. See who is more enveloped in their game. However, this list is bullshit anyway. I get its subjective but a couple of these entries I just don't understand... Ha.

[@gildartsclive7080]

Old games are in this list because the older generations felt the same way about those games. It's the old games that inspired people to develop the games you are willing to play for 8 hours today.

[@dustinskaggs2724]

I agree with you and you nailed it when you compared playing pong vs an elder scrolls game for 8 hours.

[@SamClix]

Did you know that people back when pong was released would do the same thing? Of course you wouldn't play pong for 8 hours, nor would I, because what entertains our generation is different. You're not taking time periods into account. The list is for the "Top 100 video games of ALL TIME". Not of "2000+". There are many games released in every generation which are sub par, average, or amazing. The amazing ones from each generation should be recognized when doing a top 100 for all time video. Your view on this is very linear. That being said, it would be nice if there was at least somewhere to view the poll itself used for the list if one was done or to at least know how they rated the games so we could know why the games are where they are.

[@jayceej.5858]

I think you may have missed the point, yes older games should be here, I am sure you did not enjoy pong neither did I, but that does not mean it is not great to other people, understand that not everyone would enjoy ES series, or the genre, this list is for all gamers, everyone enjoys something different, so it is subject to opinion, and it is targeted for a broad audience and was on G4 so it had to be for everyone.even some non gamers, try to be a little more open minded guys, understand for some people pong was and is that great game

[@dustinskaggs2724]

Jaycee J. Dang man. That's a really good way to look at it. Not to mention those older games literally paved the way for what we have now.
