Are these the greatest 100 modern games?

There’s one thing I do love – and something I do religiously – when I head off to Gamescom and E3. I pick up the latest copy of Edge Magazine, which features some of the finest games writing on the planet. The esteemed publication has once again published its list of the 100 best games you can play right now – and it’s something that’s no doubt going to cause a great deal of debate.

If you’re wondering why your nostalgic favourites fail to show up, there are some interesting criteria for their selection:

“In compiling the list, we worked to simple criteria: all formats – console, PC, portable, coin-op, touchscreen – 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. The result is a collection of modern classics that must not be missed.”

Do you agree? Do you think the list a load of codswallop? It’s said that opinions are like assholes; everybody’s got one, and it stinks – but in truth, I think opinions are like nipples; everybody’s got at least 3 of them. What games would make your cut for top three modern classics?

      The entire list makes me sad. No Terraria, Bastion, Ori & the blind forest or many other indie gems that would’ve easily made my top 20 – and they’re not even in their top 100.

        Also I like to look on the bright side, at least Evolve didn’t make the list.

    This list confirms that my tastes are not mainstream. The top 20 are all a “no” from me. Either an item doesn’t interest me or I really didn’t enjoy the game at all. Actually, one other option: not bad but not top 20 material.

            I do think ME1 suppose to be there and not ME2 though. If you more of an exploration kinda person ofcourse. ME2 went more action oriented which isnt bad. I enjoyed all 3 a lot. So looking forward to Andromeda.

            I thought 2 the better one, simply because of the story AND the not driving the Mako too much. That got to me.

            BUT, come November, ME1 on the Xbox One, all the way.

            September 29, 2015 at 13:10

            ME2 for me was very close to ME1 in terms of enjoyment and interest. For me if i look at the ME franchise where you want to get into more exploration & customisation you would look at ME1 being good in that regard. ME1’s exploration did feel like a chore after a while I will admit. ME2 pushed story very well and the action was awesome. ME3 brought more of ME2 in there. They need to do an HD remake of the trilogy for the new consoles and possibly pc.

          • Brady miaau

            September 29, 2015 at 13:12

            Yes, interestin how each game is different yet still a series we can follow. I think they did that very well.

            BUT what worries me is starting over ME1. I hope I can import my data from Xbox 360, because when you replay ME1 you can get extra abilities from previous characters, so would like to start with Adept and Assualy rifle and lots of credits.

          • CypherGate

            September 29, 2015 at 13:25

            Yeah thats also a bit of a worry. I hope you can transfer your save. I tend to think about that. Starting ME again, but when I think of starting ME1 from complete scratch i tend to feel nauseas cause I explored every planet and every corner of it to get everything and when my Hard drive crashed I lost everything lol

    So, the people who made the list prefer more twitchy, reflex based games than the more sedate, cerebral. For example, Mass effect 2 is a bit slower based than GTA V and requires less hand skill to play.Look at the top 9.

    Again, a list coloured by these peoples perception, as an opinion.

            My first game is the friendly between Real and Barca that you have to play to get to the menu. Barca got 2 red cards and they still had 67% of the possession… The slowness of the passing is causing me headaches. I didn’t play the demo but the graphics looked alright to me, will check tonight and let you know tomorrow.

            2010 was a rough year with all that they changed in the game… I really enjoyed 11, but 13 is probably the best one of the lot. 14 has the awful design that lets players run straight through your team from kick off and score and 15 has the brick. So 11 and 13 is the best. But 10 wasn’t terrible they just tried to change a bit too much for my liking.
