Game Informer has released its list of Top 200 games of all time to commemorate the magazine’s 200th issue, with a list of every game from Pong to Modern Warfare 2, across every platform. Amusingly enough, games like Ultima VII, Dragon Age, and the entire Monkey Island series are missing from this list, no doubt to accommodate all of the Mario and Zelda games released throughout the years.

And am I the only one who has never played Ms. Pac-Man? wtf?
like extremely horrible
games like quake quake 3, syndicate, jagged alliance, master of magic, total annihilation, terror from the deep missing its extremely horrible.
were is ultima online?
this list is just bad beyond anything i've seen before regarding to top lists
were is dune 2?
then fallout 2 is also missing, and both 1 and 2 are better than 3 its seriously seriously bad.
half life 2 best fps of all time you gotta be kidding me. jesus christ
Seems to me that the list had a lot more people proposing and pushing for console games than PC.
although not so much innovative about it, however looking at the list TFTD is at least better than 100 of those tittles up there
Why isn't Sacrifice on the list? In the end, I know that top game lists are unreliable, especially if made by Game Informer, which I think should be renamed to Game Advertiser, for all I know that's what it actually does, still this list is pretty crappy.
Isometry for the win.
Max Payne at 180... while Tetris is at 3? That kinda sums up the list for me. The more complex the game, the less they like it.
Urgh I keep looking back through it and seeing new horrors. Must stop looking at the list.

The list is a farce, with no reasonable order beyond the nostalgic top 3, and debating positioning is actually pretty stupid on my part!
