As some of you will know, NOM are 150 issues old and as all games magazines do on anniversaries, they have compiled a list of the best 100 best. For those that care, the top 10 are:

10. Animal Crossing
09. Metroid Prime 2
08. The Wind Waker
07. Super Mario World
06. Goldeneye
05. Metroid Prime
04. Super Smash Bros. Melee
03. Super Mario 64
02. Pokémon (various)
01. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

God knows who voted for AC and how Wind Waker beat Majora's Mask (which was #11) I'll never know. I won't argue with OoT at the top because it is great though I'd like to have seen Super Mario World. Other interesting entries include Donkey Konga at #31 beating pikmin (#51) and Banjo-Kazooie (#40). Also, Sonic was voted the sixth best game hero.

And the free gift is crap, a couple of covers for a GBA SP. 150th issue and that's the best they can do.

I thought the 1st and 2nd prize drawing competition entries were great, Zelda was the obvious choice and the winning 2 are the best i've seen.

Well pokemon was one of nintendos better selling franchises which made them lots of money. Also red and blue were awesome when they first came out :D

No, no, no.. the Bullet Bill inflatable, surely.

How Animal Crossing got into the top 10 I don't know. Fools. And Prime better than Echoes? Pfffft.

I stopped buying the official Nintendo mag around the time they started calling rival consoles "Greystation" and "Dreampants".

It used to be good when it was Mean Machines, oh how I lament the loss of Julian Rignall, Gary Harrod et all.
