Mass Effect 3 being in the list is just ridiculous in my opinion, I wouldn't put any Mass Effect on there personally but #1 would be above #3 in every way (I dont hate ME3 and I enjoy the series but in the grand scheme of gaming it's nowhere near the top 100 let alone top 10).
Her hall is called Eljudnir,
her dish is Hunger,
her knife is Famine,
her slave is Lazy,
and Slothful is her woman servant.
As usual Golden Eye gets mentioned even though Perfect Dark was superior in every single way, a straight upgrade that made Golden Eye look like junk.

This kind of ranking makes me question their ideals. What constitutes being one of the greatest games of all time? Nostalgia? Impact on gaming as a whole? The list has an abysmal introduction and goes on to list games that haven't been relevant in the past decade or longer. Furthermore, the biggest problem is that there's no relation between the choices. I love top 10's and I am all for going through a list of a top 100, but there is no logical way that Pong and Mass Effect 3 end up on the same list.
I don't even like Pokemon and I think it should have been on the list.
There are soooo many truly great games missing from that list. Why Pong? Why not Computer Space or Tennis for Two from the late 1950's?!?!?
Their article should have been "Top 100 games that most people will have heard of"

seems based more on popularity and nostalgia than game quality,
so naturally the games everyone's heard of are at the top, while the more niche titles linger in obscurity
Mass Effect is far superior to 2 and 3.
Angry Birds shouldn't even be on there.
Everything else seems ok though, I couldnt see myself making a list like that though, too many decisions.
Just becuase it was one of the only games around at that time does not make it one of the greatest games of all time.You'd have to have been born before ~ 1990 to have heard of Orgeon Trail. I'd assume that most of us who grew up playing it though are comfortable with it's place on that list. I spent countless hours playing it.
Stiff's in suits picking video games yeah whatever
I'm gonna let 'em know that Dolemite is back on the scene! I'm gonna let 'em know that Dolemite is my name, and fuckin' up motherfuckers is my game!
TIME/CNN confirmed for shit taste.
That's why you need me.... Need someone to punish you for your sins.
There are a lot of places where the list from the OP does not match with the list on the site :O or i am missing something.
Besides that point i really feel some spots are filled in poorly and some games are missing from the list. I guess the list never will be perfect especially with a list as large as 100.
If it was a top 10/5 list this would be so much easier to do.
Maybe they should just put ET game in that list. It was soooooooo bad that i quit it in first 3 min of playing. (yes it made a impact as the greatest worst video game ever and also promote a bad quality games in future)
Don't sweat the details!!!
it seems like they think nostalgia is what makes games great. pac-man is the greatest game of all time? seriously? come on.

where is fallout 1 and 2 i mean come on, watching that vault roll back for the first time. hell even the 2 new ones are pretty sweet.where is any might and magic/M&M heroes, or C&C game (NOT C&C4...i don't consider that a real game, let alone a C&C game). half life and its countless spin offs (Day of defeat [which i just bought on source/steam woot!]blue shift, TFC, CS etc)
BTW, Oregon Trail...come on...pretty fun game givin its limitations for the time, there is even an android app! though im not sure how it stacks up to the original.
props to Grim Fandango...that game was pretty fun
also. if your gonna put Myth on at the bottom. why wouldn't you just put the total codex..the whole story is actually pretty fun and challenging
