Guinness World Records top 50 consoles games of all time
 
It seems pretty evident that a lot of people are going to have issues with this list.

For example, I think its ridiculous that Pro Evolution Soccer 4 (#21) is on the list at all. And even worse, it's above Pokémon Red and Blue!

Quote:

The team said they picked Super Mario Kart for the top spot because it is the best-selling racer on the SNES, the GameCube and the DS. Tetris, a good choice for number two, was selected because it is available on at least 50 different gaming platforms. And Grand Theft Auto holds the record for the most controversial series of games.

Yeah, I don't know how to justify making lists like this. It's too hard and too subjective.

As for Super Mario Kart, that was my favorite game growing up. I played it a few years ago on my SNES, and I was playing Rainbow Road on 100cc. I fell back to 8th place and it was the beginning of the 4th lap, and I somehow managed to drive my way all the way to first by the end of the race. It blew my mind.

This is a stupid list.

The ORIGINAL Grand Theft Auto is #3? Wow.

Since when does Guiness have lists that are just opinions?

Oh and Bond, I think they are referring to the series as a whole, not the exact game itself...I could be wrong.

I was thinking the same thing Jason, and then I saw San Andres AND Vice City later on in the list.

This...I can not agree with, at all.

I think the GTA is 3 just because they have San Andreas and Vice City, and not the original.

wouldnt have San Andreas and Vice City without the first one.

Guinness: a delicious beer.

Seriously, who gives a shit about world records any more?

Weird list. It's so frustrating ('The Orange Box' is not a game!) that I had to stop reading it.
