The PC Gamer one was fantastic a couple of years ago and it's still good but there's too many modern games in it now that really aren't going to hold up in a few years time. In terms of game lists there's very few I'd say are well down. Saying that, to put it in film terms this here is a POS akin to FHM top 50 movie list as opposed to a Roger Ebert top 50 films list. And that's kind of a problem when it comes to videogames for two reasons, the platforms that you play them on become obsolete rather quickly and the time investment required is massive compared to say films or literature.

Honestly, to make a more definitive list that actually holds some weight you would need a large knowledge base. So I guess my question really is, what makes you qualified to write reviews or make lists? But I love games like The Witcher 3, so it'd make sense to review it. Surely to be qualified in reviewing games is just a genuine love for gaming, and I suppose the category of game that you're reviewing too.įor example, I hate games like Fifa or C.O.D., so it'd be pointless for me to review. What exactly makes you 'qualified' to do these lists? Playing games since the glory days of Pong? To be totally honest, this is the only part here I'd truly disagree with you on here. There's plenty of 'modern' games on that list that haven't aged well such as Goldeneye (near unplayable now), Tomb Raider (I still think it's great but it's very clunky), FFVII (Love it but there's better RPGs) and Wipeout (which was never a good game until, the sequels were better and F-zero ****s all over it). There's some that have aged poorly (stuff like Kid Icarus and Metroid) but the very best from that era are still amazing and still should still be challenging for a place on top 100 lists.

There's plenty of amazing 80's games that are timeless and still amazing. I'd actually totally disagree with you about 80's games having not aged well. It's true that the writers might be young and inexperienced but ignorance isn't really an excuse.

It just really annoys me that these unqualified mugs keep doing these lists and they almost always suck.
