This?
This isn't free. You must have played one of the re-makes.
No. It's free. I can assure it. It's the open source one, the one that people were just complaining about how you can't blow up fences. I refuse to call it a remake because it certainly isn't a remake, it has a brand new story and everything. I still hated it.
What would a real list made by people who do know about video games look like?
1. Game #8583469, Which Is the Best Game EVER because
I LOVE IT! Since I love it, it must be the best game ever, and if you don't love it, you are stupid.
2. Game #596845, Which Is the
Second-Best Game EVER because
I LIKE IT! Since I
like it, it must be the
second-best game ever, and if you don't
like it, you are stupid.
3. Game #686446...you get the deal.
Lists are subjective. People who 'know' games also have some inherent bias toward the type of games they like. I think Guinness' list, using stats to decide if games are good or not, is far better than relying on subjectivity.
EDIT: The article was making
fun of the List, so you have to look elsewhere to find out why they did it.
At least they hired "a crack team of industry experts", rather than us. At least the industry experts know about what games sell and what games are important in the grand scheme of things, especially in terms of business. Remember, the list talk about what games have influence, Tetris has influence, and so Halo, LoZ: OOT, and Super Mario Kart, and many other games. Super Mario Kart, Halo and LoZ: OOT all spawned important fraschines, and Tetris...Tetris got so many clones it's not even funny!
