To celebrate our 10 year anniversary I think it's only fair that we do the exact same thing every video game magazine did whenever they reached a milestone... create a top 100 list. So that's what I'm going to do. I've spent the last couple weeks thinking this over and I have a list in front of me that I'm pretty happy with. No one else on earth will be happy with it, but as I always say, "fuck off it's my list and I don't give two shits what you think you little pissant." At least I think I say that.

Also, if you recall I did do a top 28 list a while back. However, that was 5 years ago and many great games have come out since, so even that top 28 has some changes in it. There's a few new games, a few games my opinions have changed on, and there was one really great one that I completely overlooked somehow when I made the list the first time. So rest assured there will be some very noticeable changes.

And it's going to go by fast. Since I've got that new job starting in just over a week, my free time may be reduced, so I'm going to try to get all 100 games posted within the next two weeks. I need to sharpen up my writing since this is a PR job so it's good practice. Writing about insurance benefits and filing medical claims is just like video games right?

I was wrong. Sad

Did I somehow miss it or was Star Tropics not in the list?

Well to be fair, "hell" isn't going to turn a lot of heads when an adult says it, but when a 4 year old drops it to their pre-school teacher it is looked at as a problem.

And I would recommend the mobile version of TWEWY aka Solo Remix. I enjoyed it a lot, though it's easier to play on a tablet than a phone. Also, a few of the boss fights took a bit of a hit due to limiting the screens from 1 to 2, but it's still an excellent experience.

Bloody hell you yanks are nearly as uptight as those pommy bastards! (How a 4 year old ought to speak here).

Bloody hell, cunt, you yanks are nearly as uptight as those pommy bastards! (How I hope they ought to speak soon enough.)

In all fairness, while we are really uptight about foul language we make up for it by not really caring about gun violence. So there's balance.

it just wouldn't have been fair to compare Startropics to every other game ever made.

My 3 year old nephew frequently yells "I'll kill you" at his brothers. That's just the way we roll here.

Some people are even uptight about children playing with toy guns here!

As for Tactics, chess for smart people sounds about right...I was always better at chess than Tactics!

Amazing final group of games. DQ8 is indeed a classic. TWEWY is an all time great, there is nothing like it. VC is so damn good, played it the first time last year and loved it.

And I have never played FF Tactics. I own some version of it, PSP I believe but never got around to it.

Thank for this, it's been a blast reading it.
