Wow, Earthbound at 113!?!
I disagree, but wow, apart from that, couldn't agree more :)
Didn't see AC on it though?
Did I miss it?

Because AC doesn't belong there?

then you fix it >:(
good luck coming up with 100 more games
I just know that there are many good games that deserve to be above Animal Crossing. I don't feel like typing them all out to please you. And the list doesn't need to be fixed.
 
I don't really like this list. Legend of Zelda shouldn't be anywhere near the top 5. Link to the Past was better. It also doesn't deserve number one either. The magazine obviously had their nostalgia goggles on. And how the hell did Deus Ex only get 48? Also, Call of Duty 1 should be ranked a little higher.

Oh and btw, Half Life 2 should be switched around with Half Life. I think the first one was a little better.

How many lifelong gamers did Shigeru Miyamoto's masterpiece create? How many developers - many of them legends in their own right - cite The Legend of Zelda as a beloved inspiration? It's diffacult to overstate its impact on the development of video games as entertainment, art, and cultural phenomena. On a mechanical level, very few games to this date can claim such a perfect fusion of elements as diverse as exploration, collection, puzzle solving, combat, and storytelling. From a right-brain perspective, few works capture the transcendent spirit of whimsy and adventure that The Legend of Zelda effortlessly expresses. Ahead of its time by years if not decades, Zelda is responsible for significant chunks of design that we take for granted in nearly every genre. We all owe a great debt as gamers to Miyamoto and everyone else at Nintendo who made this title possible. The Legend of Zelda is no less than the greatest game of all time.

But hey, it's your opinion. I'd have to agree with them on LoZ.

Sure, it was a masterpiece back then. But nowadays it just wouldn't stack up to the other fantastic story-oriented games. Like I stated before, I think gameinformer might have had their nostalgia goggles on when making the list.

But that's just my opinion.
 
Spoiler please.

Yay Half-Life 2 is there.

My cpu can run this to the full extent, so I'm playing it now. ALYX WON'T APPEAR WHEN I GET TO THAT ROOM D;<

How did Legend of Zelda honestly get to 1 though...

God knows, I would have thought it would be Counter-Strike or something.

Yeah, I expected an FPS too. I'm surprised Splinter Cell even made it. I'm a SC fan, but the game is pretty much underground imho.
