After going back and looking at the list I think your right. I reckon the writer probably hasn't touched a Sega system in his life. He names Rez, Outrun, Daytona USA and Jet Set Radio Future. All of which aren't exclusive to a Sega system so I'm betting he probably played these games elsewhere. Wheres Sonic? Phantasy Star? Shinobi? Panzer Dragoon? NiGHTS? Shining Force? Not even a single Megadrive game made the list!

The guy was obviously a Nintendo kid growing up. Nothing wrong with that but hes in no position to have made this list.

OoT being top of the list isn't the most inspired choice ever, but it's still a very good game. There was a bias to recent games, but on the whole it was one of the better of the lists I've seen done, as they're never perfect and it's only one or two people's opinions really. It's hardly empirical. Not perfect, by any means, but not terrible.

Also, I must admit that I've become somewhat of a convert to Halo recently. The first game wasn't that amazing, I don't think, but Halo 3 is a really fun game to play, single-player or multi-player.

I would hardly call FFXII the 'best game to play today' in the FF series, not by a long shot. And how do Oblivion and Fallout III outnumber their superior and fiercely more revolutionary predecessors?

Yoshi's Island easy? Hahaha, maybe if you don't try to 100% every level. There were a few secret ones I never got without savestates.

I was 10 years old when I got the game, and within a week I had accomplished everything at 100%. Sure one or two levels were a pain in the butt, but they weren't what I would classify as difficult. They're basically identical to "difficult" on half of today's games. Cheap.

This list doesn't really matter that much, and I don't care if people disagree. I don't agree with probably 50 of the games on there, doesn't make me any more or less right than someone else.

I got the 100% easily on all the non-secret levels as well, but then I played video games about six hours a day then. A casual gamer would not be able to complete it, and it's much more difficult than anything in, say, SMW except for one or two levels.

I mean yeah, it's not like Ninja Gaiden hard, but seriously, it's a damn Mario game. It's not supposed to be Ninja Gaiden hard.
