G4s Greatest Video Games of All Time
So, in a few weeks, this is going to air on G4. From Halo, to Mario... What game do you think is going to get number 1? I kinda hope its not Mario in the 1 spot to be honest. Although I have a gut feeling it might since he literally defined gaming back in the 80s.
What do you guys think?

Is it too much to hope for that MK makes the list?

Well, it was one of the games responsible for the ESRB rating. That's good enough to make it somewhere in the list. Hopefully the top 50 part at least. Although, it would be interesting to see if both Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter make it in, which one will be closer to number 1.

Who here is betting that Call of Duty/a COD game is going to be one of the higher-ups? I bet it will be!
But I hope it won't be one of the higher-ranked games. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, I have no problem with, however.

I agree with your statement.

To be honest, a game that's in the higher ranks should be looked at by how it defined video games.
Call of Duty really didn't do anything special except be something phenomenal in the online aspect of first-person shooter. But that's basically it. No one really buys the game for it's story, as most people say. (Although, I must protest that)
In my books, CoD is not my all-time FPS game... Perfect Dark is. And THAT game defined a whole new meaning in FPS... Goldeneye as well.
Goldeneye helped make the FPS popular, Perfect Dark made it ten times better because of the whole bots thing they had. Computer enemies in multiplayer. (Who would have thought that back in the 90s?)
And for those who never really got into that game, back then, that was the shits.
So, really, this list should be taken so much into consideration when it comes to what the game did for the gaming industry. Because if they're going to consider some online game to be in the tops, I'm not going to be a happy little girl.

I was being sarcastic

I'm curious to see where God of War stands on the list as well.

Is it me or is G4 biased(mostly X-Play) a little bit?

Yeah I think so. I think they will boost COD really high on the list. Much to my dismay.
Hope Max Payne makes the list too.

Of course G4 is bias. Video games are subjective, every gaming website is bias and there is nothing wrong with that
What are the chances of good old Tetris ending up in Top 5?
I'll be cheering for Mortal Kombat (MKII or MK2011) and Carmageddon (1997, PC) to make the list.
Wouldn't mind Super Mario Bros. to end up no.1, the only video game my mother played lol.
I'm curious to see if Contra (NES) makes the list too as well as any of the Jak & Daxter games for PS2 (preferably TPL or II).
Oh and Worms for PC, preferably Worms 2. <3

I don't care what some list says what games are greatest or not, I decide on my own what games I think are great.

Heh, there should be a lot of popular video games such as Tetris and Contra popping up on there. I mean, Contra is one of the most difficult games there is out there.

If you don't care about this 100 games list, why bother say anything at all then?
I'm sure Mortal Kombat will be somewhere on the list, considering its legacy.
I'm also sure Mario, LOZ, Sonic, and Pokemon will be on the list as well.
What I'm afraid of is games known merely for popularity being on the list, like many first-person shooters.
The following are games I feel deserve to be on the list (this does not reflect my preferences for games):
Donkey Kong
Pac Man
Ms. Pac Man
Tetris
Super Mario Bros.
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Sonic the Hedgehog
Mortal Kombat
Final Fantasy
Pokemon Red & Blue/Green
Street Fighter II
Little Big Planet
Halo
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Final Fantasy VII
Super Smash Bros. Melee
The Sims
World of Warcraft
I'm pretty sure I left out some good ones, but this is all I could think of.

I'd probably care a lot more if I actually still got G4. But seeing as how I'm not going to be watching this I guess I don't really care what ends up where. There are a million top 100 whatever lists and I disagree with pretty much all of them to some degree. So odds are I'll disagree with this one too for some reason.

If I had to guess, I'd say that these games will most likely be somewhere on the list:
1) Super Mario 3
2) Tetris
3) Legend of Zelda
4) Street Fighter II
4) Golden Eye
5) Super Mario 64
6) Halo
7) Final Fantasy VII
8) Grand Theft Auto III
9) Castlevania: SotN
10)Portal
11)World of Warcraft
12)Resident Evil 4
13)Metal Gear Solid
14)Half Life 2
15)Chrono Trigger
16)Donkey Kong (or Pac Man or Pong)
17)Bioshock
18)Mortal Kombat
19)Batman Arkham City
20)Sonic the Hedgehog
That's my guess anyways. Did I leave anything out? Super Metroid almost made the cut, and honestly, Ocarina of Time could just as easily be on the list as the original. I almost put both. I almost put Call of Duty: Modern Warfare as well, but could stomach the idea of that series landing on a best of all time list.
Anyone else have a prediction list?

I'd be a bit pissed to see one game not up there, but one game in there.
I would like to see The Sims in there because that game made a lot of difference with how A.I. can be. Of course, the game got out of control with various expansions, I'm still waiting for certain moves you can let your Sims do that they haven't done yet. Although, with various improvements, you can't have The Sims not make it somewhere in the list... Even if it is in a lower part of the list.
Although the game that I do not want to see is Final Fantasy 7. Despite that I was such a good girlfriend that managed to get the game for her boyfriend, I despise the living crap out of it due to the amount of publicity the game shows. I don't think the villain in there (I'm not going to go through the trouble researching how you spell his name since I am completely wiped out from having four teeth removed from my mouth) so let's just say, Ooga Booga... Okay, Ooga Booga is supposedly the top villain of all time? IGN made a list of the greatest moments in video game history.
Despite that I found that list utter bullshit at times, I cannot believe that Aerith's death was the number one moment of all time for greatest moment in video game history. I get it, I'm not a FF fan, but this game gets way too much publicity and I for one, does not think this game should make the list. If anything, the entire series should be counted for, not just one game...
Because I think Halo would just be counted for if they're going to be in the list. You're not going to see the list state Halo 2 and 3... They'll just say that game in general... Unless they really meant that the first one is really great.
Meh

Ex-Rareware-actly! I'm glad I'm not the only one who used to play those masterpieces here. I think that The Sims, Halo, World of Warcraft, Guitar Hero, Super Mario, Zelda, Diablo II, Max Payne, The Settlers, Rome: Total War, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, God of War, GTA etc. will have their places. Surely there's bias but this should make an intriguing list.
