Seems like a generic list of games you should like because everyone says you should like them.
Oh please, don't hate on success. The games made it to the top ten because a lot of people liked playing them, not because everybody felt like they had to vote for them because of marketing. I voted for a lot of those games because I consider them some of the best I've ever played.

Popular doesn't mean bad, it means good for many.
And remember he's bitching about the top 10, from 636 total submissions. People did just vote for whatever they wanted. There was even one for Uno on XBox Live Arcade.

Wow, there were that many games submitted? Huh, now I can see why a couple of my suggestions weren't in that "rest of the 100", and I'm okay with it. Sadly, No More Heroes is a mildly obscure title, so I didn't really expect it to make any landslide movements.

Anyway, I do agree with the results, especially given my experiences with a lot of those games(and stories I've heard from some of those games I didn't play). Good job gathering that many people for participation.

[sub]I wonder who picked Uno? I've been meaning to play that again in card form...[/sub]

Ah, it's too bad you didn't state how many votes each game got. I was really expecting for a Valve game to win. But two Mass Effects in the top ten, that's good enough for me.

Well, I really don't agree with that, but I suppose it's similar to what I expected.

The lack of Mario Galaxy in the top ten in favour of Mass Effect(!) made me despair though.

Hehe. Predictable top 10, really. Don't agree with it myself, but that is to be expected.

Whoo! Fallout 3 takes home the gold!

I don't think Oblivion deserved to be up so high, but w/e.

And nearly my whole list was somewhere on the list (Thousand Year Door didn't make the cut... ;_;), which was a bonus.

Pretty good list to be honest. I'm actually surprised by the number one choice.

I still have them. I'll dig them up if you want, but given the amount of total votes it's it's quite unimpressive .

Wow. I need to double-check, but I don't think any of the games I chose made it anywhere.

Nobody understands me!

All of mine made the top 100. Three made the top ten. Of course, all of my top five come from two series (Legend of Zelda and Mass Effect).

One odd thing I noticed is all the top 10 are RPGs (Team fortress 2 and Half-life 2 excluded) Anyone else find that weird?
what about portal?
Oh yeah... My mistake...

But they are only really 2 basic genres in the top ten... RPG and Shooter...
(although I dunno what to call portal really... its not really an FPS is it?)

Oh my, I would never have guessed that this forum was full of Bioware/BGS/Blizzard/Valve fanboys.

joke.
You just named four developers. Like the four most popular developers.

But they aren't the four most popular developers, in the wider world. That might give me a list like Nintendo, Polyphony Digital, Rockstar North and Maxis.

Wow. Every popular mediocre title has been displayed with NO REGRET? No awesome underground titles or other hidden tresures?

Seems like the Escapist has an affliction for FPS, RPG. Mediocrity for ya...
