My first reaction was, "double you tee eff?!" While I really enjoyed Super Mario Kart in the SNES days and spent countless hours playing and mastering it, I don't believe it should even be in the Top 10, much less #1. What's Street Fighter II doing all the way down at #9? I firmly believe it made a hell lot more influence than that, it was the springboard for modern fighting games! Then again, that's just me.

There are a lot more titles and ranks up there that I couldn't believe my eyes seeing, but I'm sure you guys have a lot to say about that list. There wasn't any info given on the criteria on which the judging was made. One thing's for sure, I'd like to know more about this group of "industry experts."

no World of Warcraft ....pfft.. or starcraft

>.< that order isn't even in order
32) Chrono Trigger D= i loved that game how can it be at 32 ¬_¬
and 20) Final Fantasy VII that should be in the top 5 At least for older Games*

How is 20) Final Fantasy VII not memorable its had like 1 prequel's and 3 Squeal's
Plus Aeris is like the saddest thing iv seen in a video game ever Besides zack dieing -_- & angeal

Yeah, some of the games there somewhat deserve to be on the list, others are double you tee eff?

And WoW and Starcraft really should be there.

and yes no pacman, it should be influential, or dragonwarrior series, it fave long story lined rpg to be stateside

and no civilization, that maybe fave some rts games to rise (even civilization is turned based), and command and conquer series, lol

I saw that list, and i disgareee so much

Morrowind did far more for WRPG's that oblivion did

FFX deserves a mention, just for Blitzball, which took a sport, added RPG elements, a 3rd dimension into the playing field, and still worked well


What did the Orange Box d??? I love it, but only portal was any real inovation,  and that was really barely more than a physics demo in reality (Valve: Look at us, Wee are Makes Physics Engine.....)

Agree on WoW and Satrcraft...WoW was the first Big P2P MMO, and Starcraft is Starcraft...

No Diablo, GTA3 was more influencuial than San An....look at the growth between 2-3...i could go on, but i can't be bothered to analyse each entry, when ive got plenty of compalints there already

Super Mario galaxy, Bioshock and Project Gotham 4 should be replaced imo

Fail list is fail

i think bioshock should still be in the list it revolutionized fps games before halo, lol, but they should included mario64, i dunno but mario 64 have more influence in me playing 3d platformer games, lol

Super Mario Kart!?

WTF!?
