Top 100 games of this console generation

Next-Gen has ranked the top 100 games of the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube generation based on sales. Analysis also includes revenues, average gamerankings review scores, commentary and spin-offs. The site seems to have been slashdotted, so here’s a shortened top 20:

Again, these do not include PC or portable systems. Of course no one will completely agree with their analysis (too many sports games for me), as everyone has different likes and dislikes. But that’s ok, you can always trust on Gamerankings.com to give both a critics and gamers average score.
