The Greatest 100 Games of All Time 

I was inspired by reading Edge Magazine's list of the 100 best games and decided to "adjust" the list correctly. Even though I thought it was as good as I have seen of such a list, covering dozens of my favorites, it still suffers from some problems, notably placing XBox360 Games on the list (j/k), along with not enough of the retro era titles (everything was 90's and beyond).

I don't think I have the desire to list 100, so lets say a top.. erm 30? Listed to the side is the Edge ranking. Also, I'll be avoiding similar titles in the same series where possible, just picking the best of that series.

1. The Legend Of Zelda: A Link to the Past (6)
2. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (33)
3. Tetris (9)
4. Super Mario 64 (3)
5. Final Fantasy VII (18)
6. Quake 3 Arena (46)
7. Xenogears (N/A)
8. Resident Evil 4 (2)
9. Super Smash Bros. (91)
10. Halo (7)
11. Metal Gear Solid (35)
12. Pac-Man (N/A)
13. Final Fantasy Tactics (N/A)
14. Super Metroid (10)
15. Street Fighter 2 (16)
16. Ico (13)
17. Guitar Hero (56)
18. Katamari Damacy (31)
19. Grand Theft Auto 3 (12)
20. Counter-Strike (55)
21. Goldeneye (17)
22. SimCity 2000 (25)
23. Rez (27)
24. Starcraft (37)
25. Silent Hill 2 (85)
26. Half-Life 2 (4)
27. Super Mario Kart (14)
28. Wario Ware Inc. (40)
29. Paper Mario : The Thousand Year Door (93)
30. Galaga (N/A)

Did I miss anything crucial? Remember only 1 per 'series'. What's your top 5, 10, 30, 100?

Edit : I just saw (Japan's top gaming magazine) Famitsu Magazine's 100 greatest of all time. Play many RPGs?
