Skyrim has no business being top 50 on any list, especially not above Witcher 3.
And no Chrono Trigger kinda makes this list irrelevant.
FarCry 4 above Witcher 3??
Yeah, whatever Edge. Put down the crack pipe.
SFIV at 20...fuck yeah. The lack of sports games (sim and arcade) is troubling. NHL 94, Rocket League, NBA Jam, and Blitz were robbed.
BotW be like:
British mag. They're not going to care about US sports games.
BOTW had far too many flaws to be #1.
But it's not the worst choice I suppose.
The only games on this list I'm really puzzled about are Far Cry 4 and Batman: Arkham Knight. I think both are examples of modern gaming overhyped mediocrity with a reasonable level of fun, but neither deserve to be anywhere near a list of the 100 best games. In both cases, their predecessors are far more deserving (FC3 and Arkham Asylum or City).
Also, I really love Horizon Zero Dawn, but I'm not sure it deserves to be so high on a list like this.
I stopped reading at Far Cry 4
Opinions and all that but having TW3 at 56 is a bit edgy.
Batman Arkham Knight is the only inclusion that actually sticks out to me. The game's barely 2 years old but it already feels like its reputation has faded greatly compared to the first two.
EDGE is a great gaming magazine, but the list is laughable.
EDGE is agreatgaming magazine, but the list is laughable.
20. Ultra Street Fighter IV
19. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
18. Rez Infinite
17. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
16. Super Mario World
15. Red Dead Redemption

1. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Horizon being on this list at all is incredibly embarrassing for everyone
I agree Breath of the Wild, but Dark Souls and Bloodborne higher than Half Life 2? lol
Ok it's just a personal list which is worth nothing...but come on
I was there brother (at F-Zero GX launch)
A moment of silence to honor Captain Falcon
It's worth mentioning that if this is like the last times Edge did a compilation book like this for the 100 greatest games, only one game per "series" is allowed in. Which is why you see FFXII alone.
"Series" being loosely defined - for example Mario World made it in in 2007 over Mario Bros or Mario Bros 3, but Yoshi's Island also made it in due to it being different enough despite technically being a 2D Mario game.
I was there too. GX was better than everything on the gamecube, aside from super smash bros melee.
Where is the best Wii U game Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze?
Edge editors didn't think it was one of the best 100 video games, resulting in it not appearing on this list.
woooooah there let's not go crazy. Top 5 though, I'll give it that.
I accept this. Breath of the Wild brought me back to video games. It's fucking magic. Stop nitpicking.
