Anyone watching G4TV's top 100 greatest video games of all time countdown ?

no its the "we ripped off a classic board game" argument. I really liked scrabble as a kid, it'd be a top 100 board game of all time for sure. Top 100 video game? not so much. I'd rather play the hidden Galaxian/Galaga style game in MK3/UMK3

They did that with a lot of games.
For example the fact the Doom II of all things placed, but the original Doom didn't. Doom II is the same damn game as Doom, only it isn't as potent because it's the sequel and not the original. It would kind of be like having (Japan's) Super Mario Bros. 2 make the #1 spot and not have SMB place at all. SMB 2, just like Doom II, is essentially a level expansion pack of the original game.
DOTT ran on the same engine as MM and had a lot of the same humor, but because you had already seen it before on MM, it wasn't quite as good.
That's what I was talking about in regards to inconsistencies in the list.

Yep, the list does have some sequel-itis goin' on. Some I agree with, Mega Man II, Civilization II. Since their are not being original game purists, I am surprised that a few originals, and not their superior sequels got on. I probably clocked less than 5 hours of Mortal Kombat after MKII came out. Same thing with Tecmo Bowl. Tecmo Super Bowl still gets played all the time by me.
I have never played BioShock. Is it's place as the 3rd best game of all time justifiable?

It's a really beautiful game and definitely worth playing if you haven't, but I doubt you'd find many people who would put it in the top 10.

There needs to be a very high level or replay value for a game to be on a list like this. I played Bioshock once through and no desire to again. I think it even became a chore to finish. "Hacking" the machines became super annoying and I played it through most of it using the same tactic, something like freeze and smash with a wrench.

I was really disappointed in it but came to it after years of hype.
:dunno

Does G4 take bribes? Cause..."BioShock Infinite, tentatively scheduled for release in October 2012"
