From NextGen Player:
"Video game lists are one of my favourite internet time wasters. It's rather unique when you stumble upon an article that has that special mix of subjectivity, pointlessness and the sweet smell of fanboyism.
That's why I was oh-so amused to read that Entertainment Weekly has posted a list of the top 50 video games from 1983-2008. Actually, they lied - the list really starts from 1985 (unless of course you believe no video game worthy of a top 50 list came out in '83 or '84 - and if so, I say you need to play Jumpman, M.U.L.E., or that Excite Bike game that I hear was okay.)
What I find striking about these all time best lists is that rarely do the publishers provide the criteria used to judge the games that comprise the list. Certainly, it can't be relevance to modern gaming given the innovations of our sophisticated gaming market."
