I just came back and tried to be unbiased about the whole issue as best as I could. I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. I looked over a couple of more times and to my dismay I didn't find Kingdom Hearts. Am I missing something here or is this serious? I thought I was hallucinating or maybe just skipping it over but now i'm genuinely baffled and on the verge of lighting the magazine on fire lol. :(

I get that KH is maybe just my cup of tea and by no means do I suggest it should be to 20 or something. But is it not a top 300 game? I mean I found Amplitude and Axiom Verge? No kingdom hearts in the top 300 games of all time? But NHL 09 is? lol. I realized I can't give this list a pass. Although it's subjective. It's made with the intent to offend lol. I get that they wanted to conserve room by only putting one entry for some franchises but they have two NHL games but couldn't put both kingdom hearts? This is treason lol :(

Next years list :D

1. Sammy Sosa's Softball Slam (It was a tough choice between this and Just Dance 4. But not many games have had the impact on the ladnscape of gaming as SSSS. It's literally 4 S's for satisfactory. The gold standard. A game that paved the way for all the other soft ball games ;D)
2. Just Dance 4
3. Mary Kate and Ashley's Get a Clue
4. Madden 07 (Different than the other 30 maddens by only a little bit)
5. E.T (ET Phoned home. I never cried as much in a game as when ET phoned home in ET for the atari 2600. You could see all 3 pixels of him phoning home)
6. Spongebob's Boating Bash
7. Nintendogs Dashaund Edition
8. Call of Duty Ghosts
9. Roblox
10. Ecco the Dolphin 2

First one's not in there. 2 is at #88, between Team Fortress 2 and Earthbound.

I personally don't get their logic. With most entries they clearly chose the one that was more impactful and not which was better. 3 over SMW, Little big Planet over LBP 2. DKC 1 over 2. They kept choosing the first and more inovative one that paved the way to be the golden one they chose. But with kingdom hearts they put 2 over 1? Why not both? Saying KH1 isn't top 300 games of all time makes this publication lose the last shred of credibility I had for it.

The only things that surprised me about SMB 3 was that it got #2 and not #1.

They have also now published their Readers Top 300 list as voted for last month:

Quite the difference in lists :)
