13. NBA Street (Series)
12. WWF Smackdown!/Def Jam Vendetta (Series)
11. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
10. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (Series)

what do guys think? I think the Mario series should be better than 7. No suprise they picked Zelda as number one. EGM loves the Zelda series. The Wind Waker got Almost perfect scores from them.

 

[Molybdenum83]

Mario should definitely be in the top 3, also where is metroid? That is a classic series, much better than the sims in my opinion.

 

[MoonlessNight]

Not to mention the complete absence of Shenmue and Phantasy Star IV. Anti-Sega bias perhaps? They didn't get one spot.

Because they didn't make any games that deserved to be there!) If any Sega game should be there, it's Skies of Arcadia.

And Wind Waker didn't get a perfect score, it got two 10's and 9.5. Close.

 

[Aggie]

Where's ICO? That should be on there; it's a lot better than Splinter Cell.

 

[Macewindu77815]

Splinter Cell was such a boring game....the sims....number 3....yeah right...Starfox 64 should be on that list...I loved that game.

 

[Yasuo]

err i personally loved splinter cell.... and Halo is awesome (out dated now though)

 

[twosteppin]

starfox-great game.

 

[xheadshot]

never played zelda... but i agree on smackdown being one of the best.

i believe NBA Live series should be in there.

If that's there top 15 list of the millenium, then they have serious mental problems, and need to immediatly see a psychiatrist! I can't believe they have Smackdown on the list!

 

[Cozmo]

There is so many good games they don't have listed. And yes, as far as RPG's go, Phantasy Star was truly one of the best amongst many other extremely good RPG's.

Agh! I can't believe that GTA is # 5. Hated that game.

how can u hate that game i liked that! i bought ps2 just for that =)

pretty violent and crime related but its fun.

Yeah, I think Metroid Prime should be up there as well--probably my favorite game ever.

Also, note to everyone else, EGM's list was of this millenium, as in the last 4 years, not 1900-2000.

 

[Pope Gonzo]

Seeing how the Millenium is all of 4 years old, I don't expect to see too many great games on there.

 

[Dracil]

Actually, the milennia is only 3 years old. The new millennium and century began with 2001.

 

[ozanaki tori]

DDR and Smackdown..15 of history...please.

That has to be the most horrific list ever. They have no sense of gaming. I hate to break it to them.

 

[* kittie *]

i never really like the sims. it was fun at first, but i didn't care for all those expansion packs. but then again, i'm not into simulation games.

but yeah...i agree with ozanaki tori. that is one horrible list.

 

[ozanaki tori]

Was this a console only list? I'm guessing it is, though the inclusion of the Sims hints otherwise.

If it's an all-platform list, they have some very, very serious problems.
I could name a few computer games that, without a doubt, would make that list if the people understand games and how to make a list.
For instance, the strategy genre is completely ignored in that list. That's more like the top 15 stupid console genres that had a couple of well made games.

Where's Civilization (series)?
Where's Deus Ex?
Where's Half-Life (not to mention counter strike)?


What is DDR doing on that list?
DDR isn't even a "game," per se. It's a completely user-based entertainment system that involves stomping on a big platform.
What about games like Pokemon? Some of those clearly got high ratings because of their fanbase.

Also, by the looks of this list, these people weren't born until about 5 years ago.
