Stuff, just to recap, is a UK men's technology magazine. I decided to buy a copy, since it had the '100 Greatest Games' advertised on the cover.

My reaction to the list was quite positive; the short write-ups against each game seemed to give the impression that whoever devised this knew what they were talking about. Only a few games didn't seem in a suitable place, or to even belong in the list, but most of the games were deserving.

I gave a rundown of the list to IRC Destructoid members, and whilst they liked the ones in the top ten, they made disagreements with several ones as expected. Overall, it made for one of the most lively periods I've ever witnessed on IRC. Bloodlip's constant lament of 'BULLSH*T' is one memorable quote I will remember for a long, long time. I should do rundowns like these more. :O)

Anyway, a few things to remember before you start complaining; the UK didn't have official releases for games like FFVI (or III, if you are being awkward) until recently, and we are still waiting for Chrono Trigger. These two games did not appear in the list for that particular reason. I also have scrawled on the pages my own impressions of the games I thought should not belong in their placings.



















Your impressions, please?

Batthink out.

Stuff in the US is a "almost porn" magazine you buy at 7-11
A "No!" to Patapon?

Screw you. That shit is awesome.

I agree with all the pen markings. Resident Evil 4 should be way closer to the top 10. :O
Sons of Liberty not but not The original MGS? Don't get me wrong I adore 2 and it's one of my favorite games of all time, but one was better for sure.
What? They put games that aren't out yet on that list.
where is metal gear solid for the psx???????????
O.O......? 100 Best Video Games!!..... of mostly the last 10 years...

I really liked Game Informer's list a few years back.
WTF

Where's Civilization?

Where's Battlefield 1942?
WOW....singstar is better then bioshock? This is probably the worst list i've ever read. And after going through it a third time, I notice that there's not a single GBA title on their. Where's drill dozer?
What was up with them using a Twilight Princess screenshot for Ocarina of Time, a Halo 3 still for Halo 1, a shot of HL2:Episode 2 for the original Half-Life 2, and a Tomb Raider: Legend shot for the original Tomb Raider?
What the fuck is Wii Sports doing up there? Yes it's a fun little distraction, but I would never consider it to be even close to the top 100 games ever, let alone ranked above Super Metroid and Resident Evil 4.

Seriously, this list sucks.
Whoa, whoa, WHOA...MotorStorm? This list is instantly rendered invalid because of the inclusion of that game.
Resident Evil 4 belongs in the top 10, imo.
They failed.
Whoa, whoa, WHOA...MotorStorm? This list is instantly rendered invalid because of the inclusion of that game.

Samit, you took the words right out of my mouth.

Was pretty good list I thought. And then I just WTF'd at Motorstorm.

Seriously, how can you have Motorstorm on there, claiming it's some awesome "over the top" racer, and not have FUCKING BURNOUT on the list? Sheesh.
No Custer's Revenge? No Desert Bus? Psssshhh.
WOW Half-life 2? Really? Just wow...
Switch super mario world with SMB3

Switch Sonic the hedgehog with Sonic the hedgehog 2

Switch half-life 2 with some other game

Diablo should be higher

haven't had the time to look through the entire list, but if timesplitters 2 isn't even included there, heads will roll
Meh, I've seen worse lists. But FF7 was "the first properly grown-up bit of in-game storytelling"? Jesus...
What is this Turrican 2? And lol @ WiiSports and Singstar.

Eh, it's only Stuff.
@ Spartacus;

You jest, surely. ;O)

@ TooMuchCoffeeMan;

Civ was in the list. It was number 36.

@ K2;

Because they wanted a quick image of the protagonists of the games, rather than to seek any kind of exact one of the games featured.

@ Manta;

You have a good point, where is a Burnout game in the list? :O(

@ Requeim;

Timesplitters 2 got to number 81.
