Pretty ironic by the way, I created what could be my 'dream girl', then she turned into a lesbian after I had scared off the first guy that came at my door.

For the record, if millions of people love a game, and you happen to be a member of a small minority that hate it, that does not mean the game sucks.

It means its a great game you don't like. And there is nothing wrong with that.

My issues with the list:

1) Anything Metroid Prime does not belong in the top 50.

2) I'm suprise neither Super Mario Ball Scrarching (import) and Legend of Zelda: Because It Makes Money didn't make the list. A little overkill.

3) Regardless of you feelings on Halo, it belongs in the top ten just because of its influence on the industry. It is the Super Mario Bros of the modern gaming era.

4) River Raid and Nintendo Ice Hockey belong in the top 20 just because I said so.

Overall, not that bad of a list. Just too heavy on Mario, Zelda and old role playing games. Strategy should have had a better representation as well, I think.

Just because you say a game should be in the top 20 doesn't mean it's a good game. It just means you like it.

You're right, I didn't add this caveat:

"Unless I say so"

I agree. It should have been Civ IV, not II.

I think BOTH should have made it. You can't deny Civ2. Maybe its my age, but I remember losing DAYS to it in college and during summer vacation. Its still a popular download to this day.

Strategy games like Red Alert 2 and Shogun: Total War should have made the list as well.
