Always been an interesting column in Game(TM) for me - they list twenty games for each platform that they consider must-own titles. Not ranked in any way, just twenty games in alphabetical order that are must-own games for that system. Thought I'd type up this month's for GA discussion, dissection and doubtless unfounded mockery.
Also interesting to see how many people own. I figure a fair way to count is that as long as you own the system, you can count a game as owned if you have it on another platform instead. Also the GTA double pack can also be satisfied by owning GTA 3 and GTA: Vice City.
