Combat Evolved is on there.

[qdave]

Who cares whats on that list. Everyone has their own set of games, there is no point in listing them so one can be happier that his particular set of games is in the list.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Crysis?

[the better twin]

Ctrl F "Max Payne" ===> No Matches Found.

List fail.

Edit:
Lol just looked at the poll results. Mass Effect 3 is SIXTEENTH. WTF people. Must be a lot of Bioware staff voting in the poll.
Also why is that game even on the list in the first place. Its ****.
