LuckyConquerer2 said:Choices of Life said:I agree with a lot of people here. The list is good, but there are way better games. Everyone has their own top 5.And that is the beauty of individuality.But isn't that a problem? I mean, if this is a personal list, isn't a TA Top 5, but a TerraCottaGamer Top 5. A TA Top 5 would consider everyone's opinions. Therefore, this is the crap of individuality. I don't see a problem with TA Top 5, but lists like this one is going to get a lot of different responses. Imagine one called "Best Xbox 360 games" (I don't know if this was one of the first ever made): I predict the Armageddon in this website.
To OP: what is the criterion for such choices? Each one seems to be chosen at random. For example, Limbo is considered for its ambientation, while MNC for its gameplay. Fez has a different game mechanics and Shadow Complex because it's a copy of Metroid (the same with Mark of the ninja doing nothing new and just taking other game mechanics). There's no pattern at all!
The easiest way to make a more universal Top 5 list is to use more specific conditions, such as "best gameplay in XBLA games". It's easier, but not final.
