So I'm kind of a sucker for long countdowns and I'm also a reader of IGN. So when they did their top 100 games countdown I was extremely excited. However, the list is so terrible i just could no contain myself. Anyways check out the list at http://top100.ign.com/2008/ and tell me what you think.

Ok...I saw this post on the ign website and this thing sums it all up."I know you guys are complaining because you think that The Legend of Zelda should hold the top 10 spots, don't worry, we all agree with you. I know you are also upset that games like Halo are on the list, everyone agrees there also.....there are a ton of other first person shooter that owns Halo, that's for sure, even counter strike 1.5 headshots Halos a**, and cs is years older. Anyway, it's prob not the best list, but it comes close to it. Hey at least least the number 1 spot is held by The Legend of Zelda, and that's 100% correct. Anyone that goes against that, does not know anything about video games. If you do go against it, here's what you should do. Go buy yourself all the systems, from Atari to ps3, and play as much of the best games each system has to offer in the order the games comes out. Now if you can't do this, or didn't do this during your life.....here's what you should do....STFU, because you do not know anything about video games and you are opening your big mouths trying to make opinions on them. So leave things like this to the hard core gamers and you go back to reading or whatever the f**k you do for fun. The sad part about the comment I just made is that most gamers today never played most of the games on this list, and even if they did, they never played the game to it's full potential, because someone told them "that game was a good game" so they played it to try it. This list is for the most part accurate with the games it contains. I don't like the fact that some games are a bit lower than what I expected (Final Fantasy VII for example), but hey every moron is voting here, and when I say moron, I mean based on gaming experience. You may be a genius in something else, but an idiot when it comes to games. That's what happened with this list. Bottom line, don't even comment about any of the games here if you don't know anything about games. I see some noobs talking about the newer games and saying that they are better than most of the older games listed here, but did these noobs ever think about this: Where are these so called games of today going to be 15 to 20 years down the line? Would you still think it's a good game then compared to the newer games that comes out? Well guess what, 95% of the older games listed here did just that, they still compete a decade later with many of the best new games of today. Hey they may be beaten on graphics, but you can't beat their storyline and gameplay. For the most part, the games on this list may not be where you want them, but they are accurate in that they are on the list. Once again, please STFU if you know nothing about games, it's the right thing to do"Posted by: GodlyTheMasterGamer on October 25, 2008 09:40 PDT ign.com There. That says it all man. I agree to the top ten at the very least.

I'm not abusing others here man. That is why we can post comments here. I did not say anything degrading or stuff right? I just commented. By the way why don't you make your own response? I just commented on his and if he doesn't want that, he'd appeal. I certainly don't want yours. Please be considerate next time. Comment on my response, not my commment.

What's with all the sports games listed in there?! Paper Mario should've been ranked higher. Glad to see Chrono Trigger got such a high-ranking. There are some noticeable omissions: Donkey Kong Country 1-3, Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie and I don't think I saw a single Mega Man game listed.
