    I really like this list, there a few games i would remove because there just not my kind of game (Mega man and Monster Hunter), Resident evil 4 is definitely better than the original mario bros. Look at my sig for ten of the 11 games I’d give a perfect 10. The scale is 1-10 by increasing incriments of .1 so they’re are games i’d rate a 9.9.

    Wind Waker in the top 10! I can definitely see myself agreeing to lots of these, although I’d probably put the original Pokemon above all the others (I mean, it’s not like the formula has changed or the games have gotten better, right?). I’d probably put Metroid Prime higher. And Minish Cap. What’s DJ Hero doing on there? =/

    tbh it’s probably too big of a topic to actually only pick 100 games from (and to compare old games with modern ones is tricky anyway)
