If Baten Kaitos Origins and Skies of Arcadia aren't in the GC top 5, someone's getting their head chopped off.
 
Woman said:
FFX,FF12, and MGS3 are in the PS2 top 5 somewhere. God of War too(2?).

I'd generally agree but I bet that MGS2 gets the nod over MGS3. That one sold about twice as much and was a much more significant "milestone" for the Ps2.

Also: Suikoden III over V? WTF?

XBOX I guess would be Halo, Halo 2, Ninja Gaiden, KotoR and maybe Phantom Dust?

Edit: Actually take NG off of there because Black is already on the list. Replace it with Splinter Cell Chaos Theory.

They're not going to put Twilight Princess on the list, I guarantee it.

Also, no Tales of Symphonia or Ikaruga makes me a sad panda.
 

JDSN

Banned
Ps2: God of War, God of War 2, Metal Gear Solid 3, Devil may Cry, some Japanese RPG with weird artstyle.

HOLY SHIT @ Battalion Wars > DK Jungle Beat.

Oh, and four of the top five for the GC are almost certainly going to be these games:





Smash Bros.
Wind Waker
Metroid Prime
Resident Evil 4




The fifth game will be either Eternal Darkness or Twilight Princess.


There will be no Skies, Tales, or BKO love :(

When in the hell can they put in the top 5 GBA games? Aside from maybe some Square title(s?) and a Wario Ware, I can't think of anything.

Horrible list. Deus Ex at 20? Half Life 2 @ 9? Grim Fandango at 15? :lol Those should be in the top 3.

Golden Sun: The Lost Age will be there (If Golden Sun is there, then TLA should definitely be there, as well)

(lol no Jade Empire)

PlayStation 2

Deus Ex at #20 is blasphemy.

I'm not suprised Suikoden 3 made the list. Jeremy was one of the few that loved it (I did too). Those unentered 5 slots though seem a bit tight for MGS2, MGS3, FF12, FF10, and Suikoden 5. I doubt those 5 can sweep all 5 slots.
