(check out the PDF version... it's categorized, more detailed and has screenshots)

Is You're favourite game on the list? (the answer is NO, TA lost out to Starcraft in the Combat/Strategy category for Era 4: transition on platform DOS/Windows... other nominees were "Command and Conquer" and "Uplink: Hacker Elite"... and no Open Source games were nominated so nothing using the spring engine would have been concidered)

I love Diablo II, Flower, Marble Madness, Minecraft is good, Pitfall, the Metal Gear games are funny, the Super Mario Brothers games, and I've never played Okami [Wii Game], but it looks cool.

*frowns* Not a single Age of Empires game.

You'd like Okami... Imagine a game called "Zelda and the Magic Shugi Paintbrush" and then replace Zelda with an awesome wolf and replaced Hyrule with Feudal Japan.

I used to like Zelda, but what is a Shugi paintbrush?

Sorry, poorly remembered term I heard but never knew exactly what the right word for was. It's the kind of paintbrush used in traditional Japanese calligraphy.

[Panda]

Neat. Smoth knows a lot more about painting than I do. It's never been a hobby of mine, but I appreciate art.

[Forboding Angel]

Fail, not a single mention of the wing commander series.

I was wondering how some games like Fable and Boom Blox got on there also, then I realized the list was decided by popular vote.

[Panda]

I like Boom Blox too.

[Teutooni]

*yawn* A list of random console games...

And how the hell is minecraft considered the best combat/strategy game for modern windows?

I dislike their dis-inclusion of anything valve. Halflife1 or 2, portal, and TF2 are all extremely visually appealing and incredibly well done titles.

[edit]NM, they have portal. Still HL and TF2 deserve to be on there I feel.

Halo CE, Portal 2 and Starcraft 2 were pretty nifty too if you ask me.

Kinda weird to see Br├╝tal Legend in there. Boom Blox is one that I wouldn't have thought would see support by the popular vote, I believe that sold pretty badly. Got critical praise though. Metroid Prime 2 is the least popular of the series, how did that win?

unfnished, full of bugs... still the best game ever made because you give these shitty kids a 12 gauge right across the face, cut them in half with a laser, fry them with a taser, burn them with a flamer and melt them to a puddle with your standard issue turbo plasma rifle.

Br├╝tal Legend

this game is about as good as battle arena toshinden.. where the fuck is killer instinct?? that game deserves a mention at least.. erf mistook it for paws of fury :P what ever


nice to see that Phantasy Star 4 and Dune 2 are winners... PS4 definitely is the best RPG that came out on the genesis.

what's Fallout 3 doing in there?
