(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); OK. I thought this would be fun, I'm going to make a top 100 list of the greatest games of all time however I'm not going to pick the games, you guys are. I'm going to leave this thread open for the rest of February and on March 1st I'll count up all the votes and compile a list of the greatest games of all time as voted for by NGU's members.

Here's how I'm going to work this out. Everyone who posts can give their top 10 games. They will recieve points depending on where they appear. Positions 10, 9, 8 7 and 6 will all get 1 point each, (so the order isn't too important), number 5 will get 2 points, number 4 will get 3 points, number 3 will get 4 points, number 2 will get 6 points and number 1 will get 8 points.

Naturally this means the games you put as your 1st and 2nd will matter a lot more. It's kinda similar to how the Eurovision Song Contest is scored. Hopefully it'll give us some close competition. Remember to include all games, I know this site is heavily focused on Call Of Duty, but don't think you have to put it high on the list just because others will, your lists are your opinion so if you want it to have Farmville, The Sims, and Barbie Horse Adventure on it, you can... people who don't want to post their lists publically can PM them to me, and I will add them on as well, if you'd like to keep your votes private.

There are however rules. We don't want people skewing the results with silly posts or thoughtless lists after all. So here are the rules:

1. Only one game per franchise unless they're notably different genres.
We don't need someone giving us a list with 6 Zelda games on it, or a list of nothing but Call Of Duty. However if the game is completely different that's OK. For example; 'Super Mario Bros', 'Mario Kart 64', and 'Super Mario Galaxy 2' could all go on the same list because they're all different genres, but 'Super Mario World' and 'New Super Mario Bros. Wii' cannot because they're both 2D platformers.

2. You must give the name and the console(s) the game is on, numbered correctly.
This is to make sure people spend just a minute thinking about the games on the list and don't just list the last 10 games they got for the PS3. My list is at the end of the post to give you an example.

3. You cannot vote for compilation games unless the game was first released that way.
So you could vote for 'The Orange Box' but you can't vote for 'Sonic Gems Collection'. If someone votes for games that where originally part of a compilation when first released (so for example if someone votes for 'Portal' or 'Half-Life 2' it will count as a vote for the compilation it originally came in (in this case, 'The Orange Box'.

I think that's everything. I look forward to seeing what everyone puts as their top 10. Here's mine...

------------------------------

10. Civilization IV (PC) - 1 point
9. Burnout 3: Takedown (PS2/Xbox) - 1 point
8. Fallout 3 (PC) - 1 point
7. Shadow Of The Colossus (PS2) - 1 point
6. Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow (PS3/360) - 1 point
5. Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (Mega Drive) - 2 points
4. EVE Online (PC) - 3 points
3. Lost Odyssey (360) - 4 points
2. Mass Effect (360) - 6 points
1. Final Fantasy 8 (PSOne) - 8 points

------------------------------

So those are my choices, everyone add your own and feel free to comment on mine or discuss eachothers choices... after all it is a discussion forum. Let's see if we get anything unusual in the list.

10. Kingdom Hearts (PS2)
9. Skyrim (PC/PS3/360)
8. Burnout Takedown (PS2/XBOX)
7. Metal Gear Solid (PS1)
6. Portal (PC)
5. Pokemon (Gameboy)
4. Battlefield 2 (PC)
3. Goldeneye (Nintendo 64)
2. Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64)
1. Counter Strike 1.6 (PC)

I remember when I was a kid, playing CS all day long. Good times :happycry:

Hey guys, it's nice to see I got a fair few responses to add onto the list. So with 2 weeks left to vote the list looks as follows.

1st Place - Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - 45 Points
2nd Place - Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - 32 Points
3rd Place - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - 27 Points
4th Place - Fallout 3 - 24 Points
5th Place - Mass Effect - 21 Points
6th Place - Grand Theft Auto IV - 19 Points
7th Place - 007 GoldenEye - 18 Points
8th Place - The Orange Box - 17 Points
Joint 9th Place - Final Fantasy 8 and Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - 16 Points.

25 games have now reached scores in the double digits, so there's everything to play for. There have been some big movers such as Twisted Metal and Counter Strike which have jumped into the top 20 pretty much instantly, so one person can still make a big difference. So far 154 different games have been voted for, so there's a wide spread but it seems First Person Shooters, Sandbox and RPG's are the most popular genres. Surprisingly few Survival Horror or Third Person Action games are being picked, with games like Devil May Cry and Gears Of War having no votes at all and only 1 vote for the entire God Of War series. Interestingly while FPS games are popular the Halo franchise has only 10 points for the whole franchise and no games in the top 50, while the Medal Of Honor and Killzone series have no votes at all.

Well, thank you everyone, I find your votes very interesting. It's curious seeing what people vote for and I must admit some strange games have got into the list so far. I look forward to seeing what others vote for so if you haven't voted yet, please do.

OK, I'm giving this one a bump as there's only 7 days left to vote before I count them all up. Remember if you don't want to vote publically you can send me a PM.
