Game Informer's Top 200 Games of All Time

the legend of zelda nesA few days ago, we posted Game Informer's top 100 list of the best video games of all time, in anticipation of their top 200 list, which accompanied their momentous, now-on-sale 200th issue. The list covers the entire history of gaming, with titles ranging all the way from 1981's Ms. Pac Man (#10) to the recently-released Call of Duty 2: Modern Warfare (#181). And eight years of new games and hasn't changed their minds at all--just as with their last list, the number one choice remains the original Legend of Zelda. A Link to the Past took the 12th spot, Ocarina of Time the 20th (so controversial), Link's Awakening the 61st, Majora's Mask the 63rd, Twilight Princess the 90th, and Wind Waker the 94th, with absolutely no love at all for Adventure of Link

Props to the
NeoGAF for the information. Catch the full list over at their forums. Feel free to talk about how much lists suck down in the c-section.

and people complain about TP and WW being underrated, but AoL really knows where its at.

AoL is definitley underrated but Link's Awakening needs to be in the top 10 at the least because his awakening in the game affected me a lot. I guess the Game Informer staff did not feel the same amount of awakening that I did.

I can settle for 12th being the highest spot on the list. There are many phenomenal games out there. Of course naturally Twilight Princess is tied as my favorite game of all time, alongside Chrono Trigger. Glad to see that Majora's Mask made the list, I wish Oracle of Seaons did though! ;p

that sux ocarena of time should of been higher then a link to the past

mm > oot > ww > alttp > la > tp > loz imo

Benjamin... 12th wasn't the highest. The original The Legend of Zelda, as it says in this post, is #1. So the highest spot Zelda has is the best possible spot you can have.

Haha, sorry, I must have missed that, guess I was reading it in a hurry. ;p It did strike me kind of odd that the original wasn't on there.
