Edge magazine’s 200rd issue features a list we’ve often seen before, but with a twist. In stead of merely stating the 100 greatest games ever made, they decided to list the “100 best games to play today”.
Edge magazine poses the question “if you had every game ever made at your fingertips, which would we play right now? What are the games, shorn of nostalgia and presumption, that we would actually want to spend time playing?”
The list is quite a good readthrough, but the number one game is easily guessed.
Can you guess what it is without looking?
I thought it was a pretty good list. You could tell it was a EDGE list though. Most of the choices centered on innovation instead of gameplay, (nothing wrong with that). I skipped a lot of the text just to see what games were chosen, but I think I might go back and read it.
Hmmm… the edge team should get another job, the games were simplistic, boring, unimpressive and at some points bordering on the autistic spectrum.
singstar?! its a karaoke software, zelda-save the princess with feeble combat mechanics and nursery tunes, super mario 64 is… decent, but not really worth playing amidst the whole of gaming history.
You lose all confidence when you realise they missed out Goldeneye… nothing more to be said. Bye Bye Edge as a credible reviewer you are no longer needed or wanted
@sandi, GoldenEye was a fun game at the time, but try playing it now. It hasn’t aged well. At all.
