Edge Magazine releases Top 100 games of all time list

IMG_20170830_151046.jpg

Renowned UK gaming industry magazine EDGE has updated it's top 100 games of all time list for 2017:

Welcome to the 2017 edition of The 100 Greatest Videogames. If you’re not familiar with the format, here are our rules. In compiling this list, we worked to simple criteria: all formats – portable, touchscreen, console, PC, whatever – were eligible; we could include only a single entry from any series that features straight-up sequels; and each game had to stand up today rather than making the cut for reasons of nostalgia or historic significance.

Not all of the games featured here are new, however. In fact, some of the most invigorating parts of the curation process involved pulling out and replaying a number of the most seasoned titles from the Edge archives. Hopefully this much-argued-over collection will inspire you in the same way.

EXACTLY! They're forgetting the original Half-Life, that revolutionized the gaming industry by introducing an intriguing story and an amazing game engine, you can literally play it on an Intel Compute Stick.

Erm...half life 1 was a great game, but you're seriously exaggerating with these reasons. Licensing game engines wasn't something that was done at that time, so pretty much every game company used their own. Stories weren't too uncommon either, though admittedly relatively rare for FPS'es in that period. Your final argument makes even less sense because basically every game of that time period will run on a toaster nowadays.
