    I hate these kind of lists where they display only one per page. There's no way in hell I'm going to click through 100 pages. Just tell me when they get to number one.

    I've only played 16 of those (am pretty much exclusively a PC gamer so don't get the chance to play the console-only entries), but own another half dozen that I haven't had the time to try yet.

    No Bioshocks yet though? Are all three going to be in the top 50?

    IGN, full of **** as usual. Most of the games on there came out before most of the staff was even born, I doubt they even played them.

    Wow Richy, your 3rd Top 10/100 list thread within 2 weeks.......

    Anymore you wanna post ? :P

    The only top100 list I've enjoyed over the past few years was GameTrailers, because they actually know what they're talking about, and there was a video for every entrant :D

    I'd rank gametrailers on par with IGN for their lack of knowledge.

    Any list of "all time greatest shooters" that has Quake outside of the top 10 is broken.

    well it can be played as a shooter the same way you can play Hitman and Splinter Cell as shooters

    and I doubt very much if any of them actually played Marathon as well

    Their Top100 list was based on Game Trailers, which is their thing. I think they'd be better suited to make a list on the subject than most.
    It's all subjective anyways.

    So there are 59 games better than Timesplitters 2 and 40 better than Metroid Prime 3?

    So what will be the first game where they mention how it redefined the FPS? Or have they done that already?

    these lists are always designed so badly. Why is Unreal Tournament behind Bulletstorm? well it's an older game and probably not as polished so if you were to go purely on "which is better" and time wasn't an issue (as in all games are considered to be published at the same time on a super PC), yeah bulletstorm is probably better.

    but then you have rise of the triad above both UT and bulletstorm when, based on the initial principles on the list, we are meant to take everything at face value... so is the iconic unreal tournament is really not as good as rise of the triad and bulletstorm? makes absolutely no sense and id say from numbers 100 - 10 they literally pull the names out of their arse and put them down in arbitrary positions. numbers 50 - 48 are Quake, Doom and Unreal. three games just plonked together probably because the editor went "umm more 90s games need to go in" and each one of those games had a massive impact at the time they were released.
    its like trying to make a "best rock songs of all time list" and having say Communication Breakdown below some Linkin Park song but not really being able to explain it or say why

    Wouldn't Jedi Knight be as much a shooter as Skyrim?

    Probably see Skyrim at 15 or so. :)

    I got as far as Bulletstorm at #66 when I gave up reading. Bulletstorm is better than XIII, Star Trek: Voyager: Elite Force, Red Faction, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Aliens vs. Predator, Metroid Prime 2 and Counter Striker:source, yeah right.

    Also Jedi Knight only at #93 are you ****ing kidding me.

    TimeSplitters 2 at #60? THey obviously haven't a clue of what they're talking about!! Should be in the top 10, if not the top 3!

    I just went and replayed the first level now. For obvious reasons the graphics aren't up to much but the game plays solidly, like a shooter of the time. I haven't got the lightsaber or the force powers yet, of course, and that is when the game really gets fun. I loved Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith and while I would be more likely to play Jedi Knight 2 or Jedi Academy they still hold up well.

    As a "shooter", Bulletstorm is fantastic. One of the most fun games I had played for a long time.

    At least half of the list is better than that game easily. Stupid list is stupid.

    Didn't realise Steve Blum was in that. One of the best voice actors of all time.
