My opinion: I’ve never agreed with gamespy’s ranking methodology, therefore I’m not a big fan of some of the results. However it’s worth mentioning that after all these years, the mario series is still able to throw weight around.

My opinion:

Once again, I think these guys are full of shit, because I don’t even like half the games on that list, and Tetris and Pacman don’t even belong in the video game category to me. And if you look at the quoted reviews, they are extremely banal and predictable, the author probably played none of those games. In the words of Jeremy from “Purepwnage”, they are complete noobs. WOW and Halo should have been a LOT higher.
