They don't have Final Fantasy VII on the list...

Rome: Total War better be on that list. I couldn't select it on my "top five" list. I don't know if that's what you'll be basing the list on or not but I would be pretty damn upset were it not to show up, I poured thousands of hours into that game over the years :)

Lots of GREAT games from before 2000 aren't listed, yet we got 2 different 50cent games, Angry Birds, and not 1 but 7 different Barbie titles!?! This isn't the G4 I used to know and respect.
If you're gonna make an App to select the top 5 greatest games of all time, you'd better give us:
A) a better selection interface, and
B) 5 of the greatest games of all time.
The (original) Legend of Zelda, Populous, Pilotwings, Everquest, and Planetside, (just to name a few) aren't even on your list.
You have no credibility at this point.

Why are games from the n64/early pc era not included?
EarthBound_master
If it doesn't include EarthBound, Xenoblade Chronicles and Saints Row 2 but DOES include Angry Birds and Skyward Sword it FAILS.

I'll be honest, I would be content with everything else about this list/special if they excluded Angry Birds from it... I really REALLY wish they didn't have Angry Birds on a "Top 100 games of ALL TIME" list. I'm not even an iOS owner and I KNOW there are much better, and more original, games for it than friggin' Angry Birds.

cool
gojumpinalake
so what criteria are they using? internal votes, overall review scores, black magic?
TheBRADLeyB
Can't wait to see where '50 Cent: Blood in the Sand' lands.
Of course I won't really be 'seeing' it since I don't have G4 and let's face it. The channel only has about 8 hours a week of 'Original content' and the rest if re-runs of other companies TV Shows and rehashing of one of their 3 original shows.
KingGainerXan
Ah, yes! Another excellent opportunity for people to complain that their favorite game(s) aren't included, or poorly placed. Thank you for helping fracture the comunity!
Memu
Oh noes, not another one of these! Are things too calm? Need to stir it up a bit?
