This is travisty! 

Saw this on Digg today...

No Dwarf Fortress = Failure.

[Fieari]

DF is only an alpha.  Give it time.

[Jreengus]

wow that list was terrible, spore at number one??? seriously? and B&W 2 was on there which is ridiculous also i dont think darwinia deserved the number one spot.

[SirPenguin]

DF is hardly a god game. It's an RTS. God games usually have you controlling the landscapes, creating life or powers, etc. DF just has you controlling a city builder game with some fighting now and then.

Edit: After looking at the list, I can see that the guy doesn't really know what a 'god game' is...heh. What a horrid list.

Wait, spore at number one? I can understand arguing for Dwarf Fortress's inclusion even though it's an alpha because it's been released publicly, (though I would argue against including it at any place until it's released and we can give it number one status legitimately) but Spore is not available to the general public yet, only the creature editor.

Then again, maybe I ought to actually visit the site and see the criteria by which they're judging, before I judge them. I still think, though, that if you can put Spore in that list today, you ought to also put DF in it today. You might just as well use the world editor and rectangular construction designations as selling points, because they're about as visible to the general public as any feature of Spore.

[Okenido]

Spore... Really WTF this guy is an idiot.

[Cthulhu]

Black and White 1 was like 100 times better than 2.

[Explorer]

This list is embarrassing.

It's kind of like people who insist on putting recent games at the top of the list of "best games of all time" just because they're new.

 Now now. I think they put the newer games up there at first, and then looked up Wikipedia topic God Games and picked a few random entries there.

 

[KrunkSplein]

I think the guy just googled "God Games" and picked some at random.

[ivegotgoodabs]

Yeah, and? He has differing option from you. And while it may not be well informed, it's nothing to get angry over.

[Helmaroc]

Gosh, I love Zeus. I have that CD in my room. Evil Genius is nice as well.

[FalloutBoy]

How can they put a game that isn't released yet on that list? Black & White was hyped up to be the greatest God game ever made, but it turned out to really boring and poorly tuned. Spore looks great, but we won't know until it's out.

Furthermore, I don't see how you can put The Sims on there instead of The Sims 2, which was a massive improvement over the original (they put other sequels on the list but not this one). The ability to breed them and create legacy families was huge for this game.

Lastly, Rollercoaster Tycoon is the greatest God game evarrrr!!!

Also, pretending that the guy only picked new games is pretty damn ridiculous.
