I am assuming the list is based on the impact of the games when you first played them. At least, I hope thats the reasoning.
@G - Hope that makes it clearlySFV - reddave360 -
Who are the top 20 Edge readers then?
confused
g.manCome with g if you want to live... -
A lot of those would feature in my top 20...does that mean I'm in the wrong? -
Just read the article. 5 of that 20 featured in my top 10 submission, with the top 2 exactly the same. 10 of them were part of my "nearly in there" bunch.
I got quoted on Halo, woohoo! I see Reg got quoted on Galaxy I think.I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER. -

Yes, let's hope so, because I can't imagine GoldenEye being anything other than a woeful gameplay experience nowadays.Get schwifty. -
Some of them did throw me, I must admit. But its more the stuff not there (and to be fair, a list of 20 will leave out a lot of great games) No Street Fighter IV or some kind of fighting equivilant was a surprise. Are Bioshock and the last of us 2 of the 4 games you think of when you think of the ps3/360 era?
But hey lists are lists. Its not like all these games are getting re-rated to be honoury tens after this.SFV - reddave360 -

I had SFIV in my list. Bestest fighting game EVAR!!!
Re: Bioshock and Last of Us, yes. Former maybe not so much as the latter.I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER. -
I own/have owned, 13 of that list.
I'd have put Nights Into Dreams, Left 4 Dead and Bayonetta in there, if it were up to me.360 - optimark prime PSN - optimark_prime twitter - @optimark_prime -
Have you played Nights lately? I tried the demo on the 360 and the magic just wasn't there, maybe it's the idea of playing Sega software on non-Sega hardware.
-
19 for me. No WoW ever graced my home.I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER.

I played it on the Saturn a few days ago (it was it's 17th anniversary)

And I bet it still feels right, have you got the Christmas special that was a cover disk? I loved that
-
I'm 13 of the 20 as well. Not all completed or enjoyed mind you.
There's nothing I'd massively object to in all honesty. I havent played Last of Us so I wont be too harsh, but I do think Bioshock would struggle to make it into a top 20 of this gen for me, let alone the past few as well. I'd also question Shadow of the Colussus is another which I dont think is justified. But opinions are like bottoms and all that.SFV - reddave360 -
I'm 15 out of 20, but some go the 15 I played I didn't really like including 4, 9 and 15

Tried to play it a couple months ago, but my N64 keeps resetting, but those blurry textures
Still great memories though, best multiplayer back in the 90's -

A few of us played it at mine the other week. I was really looking forward to it as I'd never played the split screen deathmatch, but the unanimous verdict was 'unplayable'. The controls are so bad I have to wonder how I managed to play through it back when it was released.
Anyway, I've played 17 and loved them all. Only got TLoU left to play, WoW and Majora's Mask are going to remain unloved I'm affraid. -
WoW I don't know about, played about 15 mins of the free trial and thought it was very meh, but I got a mate who was seriously addicted, like as bad as drugs and alcohol addicted.
-
I have 18 of the top 18. I've seen plenty of worst lists.
And obviously need to buy Majora's Mask and World of Warcraft... -
Having said that, I've not really played SotC, Halo, Vice City or RE4. But I refuse to elongate my pile o' shame.
Howdy, Stranger!
