EWB's Top 50 Video Games

[apsham]

Fucking alright, Earthbound made the list and I wasn't even expecting it to. Nice to see it beat that horrible Spiderman game at least.

[A-Dub]

Ugh, no way, I hated the Getaway.

40. Ogre Battle 64 (N64)

A game with certainly no equal on the N64, Ogre Battle 64 came out in 2000 above many gamers' heads. However, with a devoted fanbase, OB64 has gained status as one of the system's top underrated titles and possibly its only good RPG.

39. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (SNES)

Released in the final days of the SNES, Super Mario RPG represented a bittersweet time for Nintendo. The game was an excellent collaboration between Nintendo and famed RPG giant Squaresoft and proved to give a great RPG experience for gamers, as most Square games usually are. Unfortunately for Nintendo, it would be the last Square game on a Nintendo console until 2004's Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for the Nintendo Gamecube.

38. Fallout (PC)

A classic that has made PC fans (as well as X-Play's Adam Sessler) happy for years, Fallout centers on a nuclear holocaustal United States and your quest to search for survivors. The game was a very different RPG compared to most RPGs, which usually went to fantasy realms for inspiration. Its sequel, Fallout 2, also has made a massive impact on the PC RPG world.

Sweet, Earthbound made the cut. Of course, it would be in my top 10 games of all time.. but meh, at least it beat Link. Well, it beat one link game.. I expect Ocarina of Time will be coming up shortly.

Bah.

Super Mario RPG and Maximum Carnage should have been 1 and 2.

If Streets of Rage 1, 2, and/or 3 don't make this list, I'll seriously kill you.

37. WWF Smackdown (PS1)

In the midst of the Attitude era, almost every good wrestling game franchise had been put on the N64 and the only good wrestling games on PS1 were the hard to master Acclaim WWF games. In 2000, though, the Playstation's biggest and best wrestling series arrived to end the rest and finally give Playstation buyers the game they had been missing. The series now has five titles and will gain a new one with the upcoming Smackdown vs. RAW this November in the US (December in Europe).

YES FALLOUT!!!!!!!! *Marks the fuck out*

The EWB members aren't all talent-blind losers then.

36. Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings (PC)

When it comes to RTS games, a few franchises are supreme. The Age of Empires series is definitely one of them. This installment adds even more dazzling graphics and hours of gameplay that will suit any history buff (or evil emperical ruler) just fine.

[ROC]

35. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles In Time (SNES)

When one thinks of TMNT, the, of course, remember the classic TV shows and remember the games as well. The games proved solid due to Konami actually being interested in making a solid game and using the arcade-style gameplay to their advantage. This game is also a testament to the turtles' enduring popularity, even today.

Turtles in only 35th? Some members need to get in touch with their inner child.

[Guest Mr McFarlane]

Turtles in time did rock the Cazbah,

But it's not 35 place good

[A-Dub]

If AoE is on, Rise of Nations has to be on as well, that game is amazing.

Smackdown beat Fallout AND Ogre Battle? BLASPHEMY!

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game shouldn't of been that high, but it's nice to see Fallout and Age of Empires that high.

[zero]

Is there any reason that you're releasing these one at a time? Really doesn't seem practical.

Anyway, so far the list has been good, just would like to see it go a little faster to put it into perspective.
