I'm going to go ahead and assume that Guitar Hero II is above III. Otherwise, you completely failed to acknowledge what the game did for the series and "music" genre in general. Guitar Hero III is really just a re-hash version of II, and didn't have that highly eclectic setlist. Not to mention it was coupled with inexplicably difficult guitar rhythms that didn't mesh with the song in the manner that was in the second installment. III also was completely one-upped by Rock Band, which in its own right deserves kudos for the conception of the "party" genre.

Mario Kart Wii? Are you kidding me? Did you play the original? Are you aware of the rubber-band AI? Although online is very entertaining albeit cheap at times, there is the least amount of skill in this installment that doesn't even come close to the veteran tricks and tactics used in the earlier versions. I'm questioning how old you are after seeing the "kiddy" version rated so high.

NFL Blitz--yes. Game has more replay value than a Dutch whore.

Advance Wars, another title that is greatly exalted from those who have played it.

Halo 2? C'mon dude.... just because it's a sequel doesn't make it better. The original is still the best Halo, and probably will always be.

Oh, wow! I have this to say about that:

"Video Games" is such a broad category that it's almost impossible to define.

Of course each person is going to have their own preferences, and it's going to depend on platform, era, resources, etc. I've probably been playing video games for longer than MOST of you have been alive, on platforms you've probably never heard of. Not everyone had/has access to all consoles, or the resources to sign up for monthly-pay MMORPGs, so any one person's experience will be limited in some way.

I don't know about your top 50 (not listed here), but games I didn't see but loved playing over a long time:

Kingdom Hearts (ps2)

Beyond Good and Evil (ps2)

Heroes of Might and Magic (pc)

Telengard (apple //e)

Tetris (//e)

Sierra and Westwood games too numerous to mention (//e)

And a WHOLE LOT of brilliant text adventures...which probably don't fit the category, depending on how you define it. (Kyrandia for the old multi-user bbs systems, all the Infocom games for the old apples, for example)

Thanks Jim, for prompting me to remember a lot of good games, good times. :)

Tool, King Crimson, Frank Zappa to name a few. Seeing these guys so far away from the top ten makes this list a total farce.

yes you should have halo in the part two of your list if you have halo 2 in there
