IGN's Top 100 Playstation 2 and NES Games
Top 100 PS2 Games - Top 100 PlayStation 2 Games - IGN
The PS2 list isn't that old, but I'm not sure about the NES one. I could actually agree with a good few in the lists this time around. These lists are making me sad about the games I missed out on and for my broken PS2 and lost NES.
Top 100 NES Games - IGN
1. Super Mario Bros. 3
By Nintendo | Released: 19902. The Legend of Zelda
By Nintendo | Released: 1987
Damn skippy.
I mostly agree with all of the NES list's top 20, but wtf at the Playstation 2 list.
SSX Trick: #95
SSX 3: #81
Suikoden III: #47
Suikoden V: Absent entirely
TimeSplitters 2: #38
FFX: #24
NOPE
San Andreas at 14 and GTAIII at 8? I can dig Vice City being higher than both but San Andreas is smurfing amazing and deserves a top five spot at the very least.
Shadow of the Colossus: #1
... I am okay with this.
Kingdom Hearts made the top 10. Pleased, I stopped looking after that.
Actually I just noticed that FFXII was down at the 70's while X is at #24. WTHeck! It's hard for me o choose between the two sometimes, but having them so distant is weird. Also KHII is down at 79 and Re: Chain of Memories is down at 92, though they admit that they think that it is better than II.

Hah, God Hand at #100. After their review of God Hand being the final straw for me taking any of their reviews seriously.
Only if you're a smurfing moron.Originally Posted by The List
The fact that FFX and KH1 are ranked higher than Persona 3:FES and Suikoden III as well as the complete absence of Persona 4, Suikoden V, and BoFV makes this list void for me. Even if I do agree with most of its top five choices.
Granted I never take these list too seriously but seriously? FFX at #24 and KH1 at #7? Also, how does Star Ocean III surpass FFXII? At least games like Amplitude, Gitaroo Man, and Gungrave got some loving but wow, that was a pretty warped list for my taste.
I'll check the NES later when I have time.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
Legend of Zelda should be #1 for the NES list. I mean, come on, the zelda franchise is still building on that name and fanbase.
Wtf? Startropics only on 35? That was a great game!
At least they put it on the list. I'd put it in the top 20 personally. You are right though, that review they gave to God Hand put a permenent stain on IGN's reputation.

The list is what it is. From briefly skimming through it they do have a lot of my favourites so thats good enough for me. The order I don't agree with but unlike a lot of people I acknowledge that doing a top 100 is never going to satisfy everyone.
Although saying that I'd like to clarify that DMC3 is NOT better than DMC1. Its not even close.
I strongy disagree on this. To me San Andreas felt like it had no soul and to be honest I'm amazed that it's this high in the list. Then again, there were quite a lot of games I think IGN has overrated.
FFX deserves a top 10 spot IMO, other than that I agree on Okami on #6 and SotC on #1.
Kind of the same way for me. But that doesn't mean it wasn't fun. I think the trade-off for cohesiveness was just a huge amount of legitimately fun gameplay.
But maybe that's just me
I don't get what y'all mean by GTA SA having no sould. Do mean a lack of story or whimsical characters, because it had both. I also thought that Rez was some handheld or PC game. Surprising to find out it was actually a PS2 game.
Are you seriously complaining about Zelda just being one spot below from 1? That's really picky and Mario is still building fanbases as well. I also thought I was dreaming that Mike Tyson's Punch Out was in the arcade. The article cleared that up for me that it was a memory like I initially thought. Wasn't Little Mac a green see-through silhouette?
I didn't get into the San Andreas vibe NEARLY as much as I did into Vice City, but then I absolutely smurfing looooove the 80s and I'm not exactly into West Coast gangs xD But the gameplay of San Andreas, the sheer scale, the absolutely, ridiculously, retardedly, excessively long list of things you can do in that game, is insane. San Andreas doesn't have the best atmosphere, but it is absolutely the pinnacle of open-world sandbox gaming.Kind of the same way for me. But that doesn't mean it wasn't fun. I think the trade-off for cohesiveness was just a huge amount of legitimately fun gameplay.

Also: Mike Toreno. Just sayin' is all.
I feel like whoever wrote the descriptions for each of the games really knew nothing about the games,lol.
Like calling the extremely overpowered Necrid from Soul Calibur 2 an awful,sucky character and saying FFX was good despite the balcony scene?
Was there something wrong with it? lol
These kinds of lists are stupid.
FFX was a terrible game.
