Okay, let me go out on a limb here and say that majority of these games, like 95% of them, are completely stupid to have on this list and where they're on. The fact that we have good games so far in the list and shitty games in the top twenty makes me realize that the people who composed this list are nothing but idiots who never played real games. And no, I don't find Super Mario Bros. to be better than Super Mario Bros. 3. Why? Because I hear more people talking about that game rather than the first. Sequels ALWAYS dominates originals if they're THAT good, not horrible. But, even as a fan of a few of the games that were in the top twenty, I felt in my opinion, they do not deserve that spot.
World of Warcraft may be one of the most successful online games we have, but I do not find it that great of a game. If a game has to make me go away for a few months because the lack of entertainment grows more than the gold I get from nabbing away at heroics, I do not find it that great of a game. However, I will not say that WoW sucks, it's just that, as of lately, a lot of people have been dropping their accounts like crazy and nothing interesting has happened. Even my brother claims that our guild is losing people due to the lack of entertainment the game brought.
But okay, hang on a second... Call of Duty in the top twenty is something I'd like to question. First off, Call of Duty isn't even remotely fun anymore, despite that I do play it once and a while with my boyfriend and it's just the survival mode. But it's not like when I hear a new one come out, I need to be that person who's got to be first in line. No, I'm not that big of a fan of this game, and too many people weren't happy when they found out that this game was going to be in the top twenty. Why? Because it's not like this game brings anything new to our eyes other than some new story in story mode and a few new guns. It's not like people play this game for the story anyways, they just care about the freaking online mode... Which isn't even fun anyways because people use nothing but glitches and cheats to get themselves to the top of the list.
As much as a fan I am with Bioshock, I am absolutely surprised that it made it all the way up to the third best game of all time. I get that the atmosphere of the game is different, a heck of a lot different than the games I've played and the story is one of the best, but to declare it as the third greatest game is a bit too much.
Not to mention... where in the world is Tomb Raider? I would have thought that Tomb Raider would be in the top twenty somewhere because this game not only brought happiness to male gamers, but also brought a whole new world of challenge for us gamers to endure. I guess Uncharted is the new Tomb Raider, which is understandable because after Angel of Darkness, Tomb Raider's series just sucked big time and it doesn't help that their reboot won't be in our hands until next year... And no, I'm not those lunatics believing that December 21st bullshit is real.
As a huge Mortal Kombat fan, I am ticked that it's that low in the list. 72, really? The way that these hosts were explaining it, the game brought a new level of controversy to us gamers in the arcades. Which it did with its massive amount of gore and violence that we've never seen before. To say something like that means great honor to the game. But unfortunately, I guess that, it depends on how many people play the damn game because as you can tell, a whole bunch of online games are in the top twenty, and Mortal Kombat doesn't really have that big of an online community (since after four months, the online play just slowly deteriorates). But then when we get to the next game, Wing Commander 2, you hear the hosts talking about how the game made them look at cats differently. Nothing really about the game, despite that the game before, they went into so much detail about how it changed video games when it first came out.
Since I'm bashing about how those two games were talked about, let me go into detail about these pathetic hosts. Yeah, I'm calling each and every person that was talking about these games pathetic becuase they were. They were trying to make this whole show be like "I Love the (70's-00s)" and crack out funny comments every so often. It would have been funny if these guys didn't fail at their own work. I'm sorry, but I cannot stand Morgan Webb anymore, I hate her sarcastic personality and her way of trying to make us realize she's trying to be funny is getting on my nerves. These other people couldn't have been more of a bore to me than watching a romance movie. These guys failed at trying to make this show a bit more entertaining while I'm perplexed at the monstrosity of how this list was composed.
To say that Metal Gear Solid doesn't deserve to be in the top twenty, since I feel that this is what the list is telling me, is a great huge insult to the guy who made it, Hideo Kojima. This guy created one hell of an awesome series. Metal Gear Solid 4 was the first game that ever brought tears in my eyes when watching it because that damn ending got to me! To see Snake and his father, one on one made me just... Ugh, it was amazing. And it's not like Metal Gear Solid didn't bring anything new to us. This game DEFINED what a stealth game is all about. I hate that damn alert noise (despite I'm trying ever so hard to figure out how to change my text message alert sound to it... stupid MyTouch) when I get spotted and there's absolutely no way I can ever get the Big Boss Emblem despite that I feel like I could. This game was one of THE best games I ever played and I am certain so many will agree. But to see this game come in 45th place... and having Grand Theft Auto 4 come after it, I felt that was nothing but an insult. I love Grand Theft Auto 4, but I certainly do not believe that the game is better than Metal Gear Solid.
Lastly, let me go into one more rant about these app games that also appeared on this list. To say that Pong isn't greater than a Scrabble spin-off should definitely wake up old school gamers and protest in front of the offices of G4 to change that. No, there is absolutely no way I'm allowing Words with Friends to be known as a better game than Pong. Pong was one of the first games to hit consoles, I'm not going to say that it was the first game ever because there's been proof that there are other games in existence before it. But still, this game isn't better than Words with Friends? Why? Because unlike Pong, Words with Friends made headlines because some shitty actor went into child mode and refuse to end his turn for a plane to leave? Come on, that's horrible. And to have Angry Birds be on this list as well. No. The game is popular, and I do own Seasons and Space. But you know what? I grow bored of them within minutes I play the game. I can take the entire game and beat it within one-two hours max if I have absolutely nothing going on with my life for those two hours. But to have it come after Sonic the Hedgehog? Are you fucking kidding me?
Sonic the Hedgehog was like, the first game to ever create console rivalries. You were either a Nintendo fan and sided with Mario or you were a Sega fan and sided with Sonic. You were either collecting Stars or collecting Emeralds. You were either jumping underneath blocks or you were running as fast as light almost. These two games were at each others throats for the longest time and to sit here and see that colorful birds and decapitated ill pigs were better than a rival to one of the biggest mascots of video game history? Please.
I am literally convinced that this list was composed by a bunch of people that never played old school games. I couldn't believe that a lot of great games were placed so low in the list, such as Mega Man, Contra, Wolfenstein and, Super Metroid. Those games helped made frustration possible but we still deemed to beat them. To have games defy a generation be considered not as great as a game that doesn't deserve to be in front of it feels like an insult to all those who have played it and created it. I couldn't believe some of the placings of games that don't deserve to be that ranked. It's not right, and I hate G4 for ever making this list possible. There's a reason why this channel is dying and its because of bias losers who thinks Call of Duty is worth playing rather than a game that helped changed the way we view a few video games. It's impossible to come up with a list that people will agree on, I get that... But I'm not the only one who thinks this list was nothing but utter shit.
I'm the Kitty, one angry one if I could add, and honestly, I'm not happy with this list... As you can tell.
