    Yeah I really hate the way they do a staggered release for their crappy lists. I just want to see what's no.1 so I can disagree with them!

    Mirrors Edge is ahead of Dark Souls 2?
    And that Dark Souls 2 isn't in the top 5?

    GOW 3 ahead of Twilight Princess.

    I do feel dirty at times that I get news from them when they put up lists like this.

    The fact that Ni No Kuni is ahead of Xenoblade let alone considered for the top 100 makes me ill.

    Even for IGN that's appalling. They know no one takes their lists seriously so they probably just got a trainee to lash a 100 together and hoped there was no spelling mistakes.

    How IGN worked on to give game a spot on a list:

    1. Take a game
    2. Go to http://www.random.org/
    3. Press "generate button"
    4. Profit

    I always enjoy how everyone vocally dismisses top 100 lists as the nonsense they are (especially from a publication as irrelevant as IGN), but everyone still makes the time to get incredibly angry and passionate about them :pac:

    People shouldn't really look at it as a definitive list in order.

    Just look at it as 100 games you should probably play.

    These things are so stupidly subjective that it's pointless to even debate them. Every single person here will have a different list with different games in a different order that all a 'definitive' list will do is get people's backs up. As tok9 said, take it as 100 Games from the Last Generation You Should Play and it's fine.

    Agreed, this list as valid as anyone else's is.
