Dead Space might make my top 200, maybe 100. It is Resi in space and with better controls. |

Final Fantasy... XII VI I can see the argument, though I disagree. VII is a stone cold classic. IX is my choice of the ones I've played. X I've warmed up to a lot on replaying it. XII... was alright. |

For the 'only one in each series' there are 4 Zelda titles. (and one is sorta just a rom hack / update of another in there - Majora's Mask and OOT / both N64 titles and came out within 18 months of each other) |

No. It seems these kind of lists must always have some old shit for some street cred, like Pac-Man and Space Invaders. Which is stupid, just like Tetris being on the list. And some other annoyances that i usually have with these lists: -Half Life 2 is one of the dullest FPS i've ever played. -Always too much Zelda (and Nintendo). I would probably put WW somewhere there and let it be. -WTF is Dead Space doing there? -Too much console stuff. Where is Baldur's Gate 2? Where is Fallout? Where is Ultima 7? Where is Heroes of Might & Magic 3 (or 2)? Where is Monkey Island? Where is Day of the Tentacle? Where is Sensible Soccer? Where is Doom? Seriously, this is the worst top 100 ever. |

Personally I would argue that a lot of the Zelda games are the best games ever made and there's absolutely nothing wrong with Pac-Man. Of course, like we've said, lists like this are put together to make people buy the magazine and talk about it which clearly it has achieved. |

I would also argue that Tetris on the game boy is one of the best games ever made. It's certainly one of my top 10 most played games. And most played is a good synonym for best in my mind. |

Do you still play it now, though? If you do, then sure it should be on the list. If you'd rather play Tetris Blitz (which is lots of fun) then that should be there instead. |

In an ideal world I would be able to play the original version, with updated graphics, sounds, music and so on. Have the option to play the new modes, with the powerups. But also the option to play the gameboy version. I dislike the ability to spin the tetromino at the bottom of the screen. I also think I prefer the gameboy form factor, to the touch screen. So yeah Tetris on the gameboy is better than tetris blitz in my opinion. |

I've only bought Edge when they did that whole 200 different covers thing, and I was tricked into it just to see what cover i got. I hated the magazine. Completely sterile, no soul whatsoever. They don't even bother to sign the articles, as if they're written by some sort of AI. |
