Edge's top 20 of the last 20 years
-
Edge are running a top 20 games of the past 20 years as voted for by readers.
http://www.edge-online.com/news/reader20/
Rules...
1. Please send a list of only ten games.
2. This is not about creating a list of the 20 best games to play today; it is about the best 20 games from Edge’s history. Nostalgia is, therefore, allowed. When deciding which games to vote for, you should consider them in the context of their era, keeping in mind the technology and other games that existed alongside them.
3. Only games released since August 19, 1993 (regardless of region) are eligible.
4. Please use “Reader Top 20” as your email subject line, otherwise your votes may not be counted and you may not be entered into the prize draw.
5. The Edge editorial team will sign the prize, if the winner so desires.
Thought it could be a fun Friday afternoon discussion point.
Would be nice if it didn't decend into a thread on why 'top xx' lists are dumb. We know they are dumb but they are fun too. -
1. Halo
2 - 10. Some other games. -
Haha, Surely 1-6 could be Halo games, 1-7 if you throw in the HD version of CE
-
Seems excessive.

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, you need nothing else.Town name: Downton - Name: Nick - Native Fruit: Apples -

Too old. A lot of the SNES stuff is.Sasukekun wrote:Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, you need nothing else. -
@ Spock. Not really sure, but I haven't seen it outside of WHSmith for months. -
-
Super Metroid's ok.

Can't they make their own lists? Or this an attempt at community engagement? Edge site is pretty bare these days when it comes to community and FB comments have been fairly negative."Better than a tech demo. But mostly a tech demo for now. Exactly what we expected, crashes less and less. No multiplayer."

If you can honestly say Zelda: LTTP was one of your favourite and most memorable games in 2002 then run with it.When deciding which games to vote for, you should consider them in the context of their era,
Using a loop-hole re-release to get a game in that doesn't fit the brief isn't really in the spirit of it. -
I wont be revealing my list so I don't give away anything away if we do a best game of this gen vote. -
As were allowed a bit of nostalgia, off the top of my head I'd probably go with:
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64 Nintendo 1998)
Halo CE (XBOX Bungie 2001)
Astro Boy: Omega Factor (GBA Treasure 2003)
Project Gotham Racing (XBOX Bizarre Creations 2001)
System Shock 2 (PC Irrational / Looking Glass 1999)
Micro Machines Turbo Tournament ’96 (Megadrive Codemasters 1996)
Resident Evil 4 (GC Capcom 2005)
Return Fire (3DO Silent Software 1995)
Nights: Into Dreams (Saturn Sega 1996)

That's not in order. Surprisingly no mariokart.He could've just said they came from another planet but seems keen to convince people with his bullshit pseudoscience that he knows stuff. I wouldn't trust him with my lunch. - SG -

VI is my favourite, XII is the one that changed things up for the better. All VII did, imho, is introduce FF to more PAL players. Nothing more.I am a FREE. I am not MAN. A NUMBER. -

Or you could argue that FFVII introducing the JRPG to the mainstream in the West is the most important thing to ever happen in the genre and gaming history, if you consider the impact it had for Sony.
