ive seen some lists but this is a head scratcher. like it seems like they are going for historical impact and cultural importance, but then they go and throw rise of the tomb raider at 18 of all fucking time which is weird.

discuss

i'm surprised a metal gear game didn't make the list, at least cookie clicker didn't make the cut i guess

[squirrelfriend]

too derivative with b-movie cliches to make any meaningful cultural impact
at least tomb raider is female centered

[YPrrrr]

No Uncharted 2 but Tomb Raider?? Mmk.

Also it's weird how for some games they just use the series title but for others they pick a specific game.

At least they recognize the greatness that is Civilization... although why Ms. Pac-man is #5 I do not know

yeah it's very strange, i noticed the fact they chose entire series in some instances (smash bros. and tetris for example) which i thought meant to imply this was a general impact list, but then they throw in specific games that don't make sense like Call of Duty 2 (not 4??? or the series??) and Portal 2 (not the first one or just the series in general).

and yeah rise of the tomb raider makes no fucking sense watsoever

TIME I THOUGHT U WERE BETTER THAN THIS

where's akira?

where's akira?

lol

yeah another list not really based on anything by an organization that really has no business making a list
i dont really disagree with anything but lists as broad as this are pretty pointless (moreso than usual lists lol)

because it's a list for video games not movies

does time have any credibility whatsoever as a gaming journalism publication

what authority do they even have to arrange a list like this >_<'
