OoT is number one? I'm not surprised.... but I think it may be a bit too overrated now... It's a great game, though, one of my favourites anyway...

there is no f**king way that the original Gran Turismo 1 is in #6 while Gran Turismo 2 is in # 92!!!!!!

that and FFVII is at #49?!?! it should be right up there with OoT. i don't trust this list :hmm:

Sonic the Hedgehog #25

Fitting, although it could have been a little higher.

Edit: No Streets of Rage! WTF! :mad:

This is based entirely on the ratings the games got when they came out so some things might be a little wierd. Especially since the rankings they have is an average of various rankings from different game sites so the results change a lot depending on how many reviews a game actually got.

This list doesn't mean much.

That list is crap. The IGN top 100 that was posted was much much better.

The list is based on reviews. Not selection.

The list is downright terrible.


They obviously haven't played many games.

Yes its all reviews. And you dont have to agree with it. Also, gamerankings.com isnt a very old site. Many older games like Mario Bros are to old and they dont have records for ratings of that game. And if a game was ported to say gameboy advance, it would likely not score as well as it probably would have when it was actually made.

PS2 Soul Calibur 2 is #52 and GC Soul Calibur 2 is #35...

Last time I check they were the same damn game.

Keep in mind that controls come into play when a game is rated.

Link to the Past on SNES beat out by OoT and WW? *shakes fist harder than you can possibly imagine*

Link to the Past on SNES beat out by OoT and WW? *shakes fist harder than you can possibly imagine*

I think some of you guys got this wrong... These aren't people picking the top 100... Those are all the reviews added up all together... It's all mathematically done. So basically, they get all the reviews of games and then it's the machine's job to order the ranking.

Also, yes, of course that list sucks, but as for OoT being in first, it deserves it. Argue with me as much as you want, but that game is a masterpiece. It deserves to take the number 1 spot.

And IGN's top 100 sucked... Seriously, they missed great games like FF7, Super Mario Bros. 3, FF8, FF9, Chrono Cross, Suikoden games, and much more... rather than putting all those games that nearly got perfect 10's, they put cheap ass games like Paperboy in Space World 5..... :rolleyes:

Link the past did worse than both of them. the #1 spot is the best and the #100 spot is the worst.

Link the past did worse than both of them. the #1 spot is the best and the #100 spot is the worst.

I know... I said LttP was beat out BY those two games... I think LttP is the best Zelda game ever overall...

'Course that's just my opinion, and as Crono_link said in his last post, the list was made based on review scores...

*shakes head*
that list wasnt even worth reading
when will the world learn that reviews mean nothing its how the game is played by people who dont get payed to play the game that counts damn them *shakes fist harder then deathshand then passes out from shaking fist*

The score is an average of many review scores. So it's not just one person's opinions. It takes many people's opinions and compiles them to get a final score.

The problem is hype.

It's silly that they have the same games on there... Like they have A link to the Past for game boy advance, then A link to the past for SNES...Even though that should be in the top 5, but that's just me.

4. Madden NFL 2004 -Playstation 2


Thats disgusting.

This is the worst list I have ever seen, and its also a horrible way to make a list, if they had compared the games or put them into separate lists by genre at least we would'nt get Madden NFL 2004 being the fourth best game of all time, this list makes me sick.

Edit: where's the Super Mario RPG? that should have easily made the list.

Dylflon

But Madden NFL 2004 is such a great game.

Sorry you guys don't like sports games.
But it is the best sports game ever made. Doesn't a great sports game deserve a high score?

Its not that I don't like sports games I just think that Madden NFL 2004 is'nt the fourth best game of all time, and that list has one horrible flaw: that it only takes reviews so, any hyped up game despite how good it is could get a few really good reviews by fans and then make it to the top of the list where it doesnt belong. Also sleeper hits that are great but not well known(like the Suikoden series) don't make it on the list at all.
