Its fail because its console focused beyond belief. Especially when you consider that the video game world has been shaped by PC gaming more than anything in the past 15 years,

Even the cross-over to PC titles on it began on the console...

as always: tainted by recency (which is no word according to spellingcheck).

Where is pong?
Where is doom?
etc.

it all depends on how you define 'best game'
if you define it by graphics you'll get a recency bias
if you define it by copies sold you'll get a recency bias
if you define it by impact on the gaming community (which is hard to measure for e.g. 20 yr old games) you'll get a recency bias

these sort of lists suck
couple of years ago Pim Fortuyn(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pim_Fortuyn) was chosen by the public as most influential person in dutch history. Why? because he was shot a (few) year earlier.
I won't bore you with a list of dutch ppl who had more influence than him.

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Any "best of" game list without Elite, M.U.L.E, Wizards of Wor, Bruce Lee, Adventure, Space Invaders, Silent Hunter and Colonization is not a list worth looking at.
