IGN's Top 100 Games of All Time - MMORPGs a No Show

mmocrunch.com — Today IGN has released its Top 100 Games of All Time for 2007 and it seems that only one MMORPG made the cut. World of Warcraft came in at a dismal 83 and no other MMORPG made the list. No Ultima Online, no Everquest, no GuildWars, no nothing.

    btw, this list sucks IMO. Haven't even heard of some of these
  • HappyScrappy, on 12/02/2007, -3/+36complete and utter blogspam. Why doesn't this link to IGN?
  • Mark03, on 12/02/2007, -2/+33FPS revolution on consoles.
  • screwfanboys1, on 12/02/2007, -5/+31lol this list is a joke. Goldeneye is at 75 and shadow of the colossus is at number freaking 16!
  • skin, on 12/02/2007, -2/+25Obviously neither you nor IGN watched Doug
  • sreenisatish, on 12/02/2007, -3/+261 game per page?? OMG 100 clicks for viewing through all of them.
  • sparced, on 12/02/2007, -2/+23Eight of the Top Ten are Nintendo games. Galaxy will be the ninth next year.
  • jggr, on 12/02/2007, -2/+21Agreed... Saw that and promptly closed the window. ***** that *****.
  • Fizban140, on 12/02/2007, -1/+19Ya, I bet you smoke guys a lot.
  • random19, on 12/02/2007, -3/+19I was pleasantly surprised to see Majora's Mask at #31. Always loved that game but it doesn't seem like it gets as much praise as it should.

    That said, the following games should have been higher:
    83 World of Warcraft
    79 Secret of Mana
    78 Link's Awakening
    76 Final Fantasy VII
    75 Goldeneye
    43 Baldur's Gate II
    39 Super Mario 3
  • AntBing, on 12/02/2007, -0/+16I'd bitch if Dragon Ball Z WAS on the list.
  • AlienFromBeyond, on 12/02/2007, -9/+25RE4 higher than Starcraft? FAIL LIST.
  • techmonk, on 12/02/2007, -0/+1599 times.
  • Pikester, on 12/02/2007, -0/+15Dragon Ball Z? Really?
  • jman583, on 12/02/2007, -5/+19MMORPGs are like minesweeper with experience points but you play the same level every time
  • Dorepoll, on 12/02/2007, -0/+14WHAT?! My opinion is different to this websites?! Outrageous.
  • tcpip4lyfe, on 12/02/2007, -3/+16There is no way in hell Im clicking that site 99 times.
  • drizzlelicious, on 12/02/2007, -0/+12"#3- I can smoke a guy who has a Desert Eagle, AK47, and full grenades with just a Glock in CS."

    I'd like to see you try. Bring it!
  • EvilFerret, on 12/02/2007, -1/+13I never liked IGN, but just for the hell of it I went over the list. I was pleasantly surprised to see X-Com UFO Defense as number #21. Then I read their reason, the first part: "In March 2007, the IGN PC team called this "The best PC game of all time"" :) Now, personally I'd consider X-Com UFO Defense/Enemy Unknown the best game ever made (PC or otherwise), but at least I know they're not complete morons. Looks like I have a new review site. (***** you GameSpot)
  • BlakeEM, on 12/02/2007, -0/+12don't forget the random full screen ads that come up every few clicks...
  • QueEsAmor, on 12/02/2007, -2/+14Good layout decision IGN. I love clicking through 100 pages. Not surprised that only one MMO made the list, since they're pretty simple. The social aspect is really the meat of those games.
  • DAAaaN07, on 12/02/2007, -0/+12Where is Hello Kitty Island damnit!!
  • dn11, on 12/02/2007, -1/+13seen one level grind, you've seen them all
  • DefaultGen, on 12/02/2007, -3/+14Civilization II was good, but I mean, what the hell.
  • countjedula, on 12/02/2007, -4/+15I'm angry that Earthbound is a no-show on this list.
  • Cowwan, on 12/02/2007, -4/+15Dugg because i liked the top 10
    though the way the pages are pisses me off
  • QueEsAmor, on 12/02/2007, -3/+13In WoW, it's painfully obvious when someone doesn't know their class, so buying a high level character doesn't really help you out.
  • FoxOrian, on 12/02/2007, -1/+11I was disappointed not to see either MYST or Riven on that list. One of them definitely had a deserving spot on the top 100 of all time. For shame, IGN.
  • DrMilkdad, on 12/02/2007, -1/+11It's a pretty ***** list anyways
  • DocOrpheus, on 12/02/2007, -12/+20FFVII at #76...?

    Dugg for putting it in its place. =)
  • TomTruelle, on 12/02/2007, -0/+8lol you fail at copying other peoples posts
  • nemesiscw, on 12/02/2007, -2/+10Are you talking about the 7.7? What do you think it should have been rated?
  • heynoop, on 12/02/2007, -3/+10No Earthbound? ***** this list.
  • Super6, on 12/02/2007, -13/+20Yeah, GoldenEye started the FPS revolution and was the absolute most fun you could have on the N64, rivaled only by a few nintendo-made games
