    what are you talking about? :confused: he hasn't just posted a list of 100 games that he feels have the same weighting, he has ranked them from 1 to 100, thus he has a "top 5" in that list.

    IMO, making a top 100 is a better way of judging what games you truly like, as most people will just rattle off the first 5 games they have fond memories of. If you actually sit down and list out 100 games you've played you'll probably find your top 5 will look a lot different once you've ranked them.

    Anyway, my top 5 are:

    1 UFO: Enemy Unknown PC
    2 Half life 2 PC
    3 FFVII PS
    4 Flatout 2 PC
    5 Worms PC

    from my top 100 list ;)

    i have other things to be doing than to sit there and think of my top 100 games of all time (another reason i just went for 5) but dont worrie your little head about it i was only taking the P**s anyway. i could care less weather he, you, me or the pope make top 5's top 100's or top 1000's posting on this is after all just somthing to do when i'm bored.

    I know its all opinion and everything, and It may have had a crap ending section, but Crysis is a new benchmark for sandbox FPS gaming. No fps out there offers you the freedom it does. It certainly doesnt deserve to be on a worst games ever list.

    if tman is ranking them from an expectation to fulfillment/disappointment point of view then yes, Crysis would be the worst. Crysis to many is first a benchmarking tool and second a poorly made game.

    Exactly.
    In fact, I got more enjoyment out of DoA Xtreme 2, so should have really switched their places on the list.
    I just plain didn't like it, then they introduced the aliens and it really went down the toilet...

    Metal Gear 2 , Half Life 2, Half life 1,Call of duty 1 and Timesplitters 2.I think its important for games to have a strong story with interesting characters like a good movie .I can,t think of a game that has such a blend of action ,unique characters and philosophy as Metal Gear has.

    Killing people with a plastic bag doesn't matter when it's the gaming equivalent of playing football with a leaing bin liner filld with piss.
