Other than a couple of games, that writer seemed to forget that there were videogames made before the year 2000.

Cover designs were WAY better back in the "classic" era.

For example see my VGA article that only covers RPG covers from the golden days:

Its dorky as hell, but I love these kinds of lists. I usually don't even bother to mentally agree or disagree unless there's a really heinous omission/addition. I just like to zen out and read the commentaries on the games.

It just seemed like they didn't put much effort in to the game cover list. Why were all the games with sequels back to back? They really didn't need all three halo covers either, but I do agree with all the Doom covers especially the first one.

...and I just realized the back to back Halo covers didn't have separate rankings.....good talk.

Who the fuck proofreads that 360blog site? The guy's writing is basically the epitome of every evolving spelling and grammar mistake emerging these days. Goddamn.


So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind.

Needs less Sega CD, it didn't need to be grouped with the 32x, which actually did suck. The Sega CD at least had it's share of good and memorable games, and I still feel people exaggerate on how bad the Atari 5200 was, you just needed to replace the crappy controller it came with, plus those boxes were replaced with the more conventional wires in later releases.
