I don't see Sensible Soccer or Transport Tycoon :P

Gah, no Rollercoaster Tycoon or Grim Fandango.

I don't think they should be console specific either, having Tonty Hawks 2 down there twice because it's on PS and DC well, rubbish. Stick one of the above games in there I reckon :0)

Where the hell are any of the SNES games?

That chart is silly.. they are all recent and it doesn't contain games like:

Secret of Mana, Super Mario World, Mario Kart, Super Metroid, EarthBound etc...

Uh huh the chart is a load of rubbish, they are all modern recent games.

Also, Goldeneye should be higher then that.

To get on this top 40 list, all games have to have a minimum of 5 reviews by readers, (or else one 100% review could send the scores to pot).

I searched the site for a couple of others:

RollerCoaster Tycoon is ranked 211
Mario Kart 64 is ranked 546
Grim Fandango is ranked 41

The rest aren't ranked yet due to the minimum of 5 reviews available for it rule.

Oh, and SNES aren't included, nor are Megadrive.

The following ARE included:

PC
PlayStation
PlayStation 2
Dreamcast
Nintendo 64
GameCube
Gameboy
Gameboy Advance
XBox

Sounds to me like you lot are getting old compared to the current generation of gamers who are responsible for compiling these charts :P

Hmm.. so five of us could get Secret of Mana to number 1?

Where is should be.

Also I agree... Goldeneye is probably the best game ever if not the second best game ever. Nothing in my opinion has beaten it for an FPS crown.

That's perfetic, like Soul Calibur should be 3rd. It's a good game but not that good.

The Super Nintendo would probably hold 6 of the 10 top positions.. so they had to take it out :P
