game informer top 200

so i just got my newest edition of GI and its the 200 issue so the staff compliled a list of the top 200 games of all time, taking into account;

-quality
-industry impact(this seemed to be the major player in the rankings)
-cultural relevance

the top 5 were put as covers and i happened to get the one with the HL2 cover. nice.

was #20

its easily the best in the series though. i guess the original gets the nod for the industy impact.

hl2 > hl1?

Where are Goldeneye, Perfect Dark or Time splitters? 3 of the best FPS I have ever played on consoles.

Yeah, I lost all hope after Donkey Kong n 234 and the loss of Killer Instinct's IP.

i remember spending every dime i had at the arcade playing killer instinct. they always have to ruin everything good (although, i will say that twilight princess was almost as good as ocarina of time).

I enjoyed ShadowRun for sega Genesis and I almost juju'ed myself when I seen they redid it in FPS fashion for the PC a few years back. but the community is dead and I cant find the newer game now.

I do own the original for Sega Genesis- I've seen it go for around 40-60 dollars on ebay today. Pretty cool IMO for an old ass game.

It had the 'Matrix' before the matrix was even the matrix.
