The best 50 games in Guiness Book

I admit, I do find Halo "okay" but I don't think it's the best (should just be in top 15).

Call of Duty for second? THEY MUST BE TROLLIN ME. It shouldn't even be on that list.

THIS

I've been sad ever since I saw that list , stupid list making me sad...



I bet those 13 000 was in the ages 12-16

Fix'd.

The Guiness Book of records is mainstream so that list represents a sample of the 'average' people who play games evidently that includes hoards of Halo players.
In terms of gameplay, story, and eye candy Halo is good but it surely ain't the best.
It's a shame the greats like Deus Ex, System Shock 2 and countless other genre redefining games are overlooked in the list.

FUCK YEAH!! :P

Halo and Runescape though...

>__>

Agreed.

HALO! What. The. Fuck.

halo is an ok game

but the thing i really hate about the game
is the hardcore fans of halo >_>

but.....

runescape?

what the fuck are they thinking? @_@

I just looked through the rest of the list...It seems like they polled some people with a brain. Apparently not enough...

Alright, this list might make a smidge more sense if the games weren't ranked, and instead this was just an overall list. I still agree with others that some of these games don't belong, but in a poll of all the Fakku users I think the amount that have played these games (even if they didn't like them) would be very high. Now if Fakku is a community that likes the "overlooked gems" more than mainstream games, and most of us even played most of these games, is it really so surprising that most of the polled people not only played them, but loved them?

On the note of Halo: Nylund's books are so much better than the actual games, and the recent inability for Bungie to create a legit plot that doesn't disturb canon (Halo Wars, Halo: ODST, and Halo: Reach) is completely inexcusable. The game's blatant disregard for what is already in the books is shitting all over the best part of the entire series.

Yes, I'm a fanboy...an Eric Nylund fanboy.

Weren't the books based on the game itself?
And expanded on the plot?

The books are based on the universe, and Fall of Reach covers Master Chief (John) from abduction to the events just before Halo: Combat Evolved. William C. Dietz wrote the book that takes place during Halo, basically a written form of the game. Nylund wrote First Strike, which bridges Halo 1 to Halo 2, and then also wrote Ghosts of Onyx, which explores the Spartan III project (basis for the characters in Halo: Reach) and also encompasses the tale of the remaining Spartan IIs.

Nylund made the universe what it is in my opinion. By sheer "coincidence", Halo: Combat Evolved also had the best storyline, and Eric Nylund was on the writing team for it. He was axed from the sequels because he was working on the novels.

/highfive

"Where the Wild Things Are" is fucking amazing.

Where the Wild Things Are must've been one of the most boring films i've ever seen =/

Believe it or not, truth is harsh .. just let it slip .. if you have your best then you wouldn't care about this list ..

Subjective things are subjective
