Nice list. It has Torchlight 2 on it.
I would say "Before people start putting down Time for writing about gaming"...but that's already happened.
Anyways, Matt Peckham is actually a very astute guy when it comes to gaming. He's not some random journalist who got picked to write up a bit on the top 10 games, he's a gamer and he writes about games. That's kind of his job and he's pretty good at it. He's no gaming whiz (most gaming journalists are terrible at video games), but he's quite knowledgeable.
I don't even know how they create these lists. Just some random autor writes his favourite games. That's all. Yeah, that really matters.
See my earlier post about Matt Peckham. He's not "some random author", he handles gaming and some consumer tech for them online. So it's kinda his "schtick". It's like the top 10 lists at any other gaming news site, an individual/group of individuals will get together and create the list based off their subjective opinions.
While I don't really see GW2 as number one, it was a pretty good list, (I really need to get a copy of Xenoblade and Last Story though *sigh*)
Why can't they mix MMO and non-MMO games?
And reviewing MMO's is difficult. Too many places review them at launch then never re-visit, which is challenging because MMO's are constantly changing. So you can get a review that's "accurate" for the time that it's written, it just won't always be relevant a year, or even 3 months, down the road.
Infinite and Bovinity are simply trolling their asses off when it comes to GW2 regardless if they actually dislike it as much as it appears, but of course you're not allowed to say that are you, may I have my infraction please...
Don't say I don't deliver. If you think someone is trolling, report them. Posts that simply call others trolls add nothing to the discussion aren't productive or welcome. Infracted. -Edge

Lol I'm sorry but that ranking is just awful Halo 4 is number 9 and Assassin's Creed III is 5th terrible rankings.
And with that said, I can see this thread being overrun by Blizz fanbois or GW2 h8er who see the link to this thread on the main MMOC page and ridicule how the author knows nothing about video games or how much he got paid by Anet.Lol I'm sorry but that ranking is just awful Halo 4 is number 9 and Assassin's Creed III is 5th terrible rankings.
I do actually, since I've already seen it happen on threads such as this who praise games regardless of what it is on a these forums. Good attempt at trying to be witty though
And I didn't dismiss his comment, I merely used it as an example as to what is to come.

If it were MoP at the top of the list, someone would have posted it in the WoW section, and you'd be all, "Yeah! It's so true!" I've said it before, I'll say it again, quit posting here if you don't like GW2. Seriously, it's getting old.
To the topic at hand, that is a fine list of games all together.
I'm not surprised GW2 topped the list. It's an amazing game if you'll let it be. Neither am I surprised to see this thread full of negativity.. this forum is full of it.
