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...

Sonic the Hedgehog #25

Fitting, although it could have been a little higher.

Edit: No Streets of Rage! WTF!

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.

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.....
