An interesting idea for game rankings, though a little clumsy and probably not very accurate. For me, it's hard to not skip over games that were just 'meh' that I simply don't want to take the effort to rank (like The Sims). I first went through the list and picked all the games that I had played (that was on the list) and ended up with well over 200 titles - and that was even with me skipping things like the King's Quest series. I know for a fact I missed a few in there. The prospect of ranking 300 games is a little overwhelming, so I trimmed down the list some.

Still, what I see of the actual rankings does seem to coincide with most popular opinion, with a few surprises. I'm wondering how susceptible this system is to taint via nostalgia / recent release fanboyism. I guess I'm just as guilty of this, because here's my top 20 list:

    Ranks...they don't work. Especially if you compare completely different types of games. And even in the same genre its rather bad...
    Here for example I tried to rank only single player 3d-action games (that excludes jump-and-run, strategy, click-and-point games, puzzles etc). And the next picture is of all the multiplayer games I've played.

    Is Mp superior to SP-games? Adventures more fun than RPGs? Can't say that, they are completely different things.
    The best multiplayer games I've ever played are mods though. Natural Selection, Dystopia and Desert combat are each better than any commercial MP-Game. Exept L4D1 maybe...

    Well, they do have mods (MW:LL is on there), but their list is far from complete (no DCS: A-10), you can ask them to add them.

    Interesting site.
    It's tough making choices when considering game age, time played, multiplayer vs singleplayer.
    How does one properly measure pleasure?
    Cool to see AOE:Age of Kings that high in the list.
