Top 100 Video Games of All Time - IGN.com

quote [ IGN counts down the 100 best video games ever made. ]

I just used the IGN article as a starting off point. The real stuff is in the extended.

To be clear, this is not a list of what I think the best games of all time are. These are the games I think people who have never played video games before should play, in order. Consider it a history lesson. Most of these games are still available legally in one form or another.

It's a bit hard to read because the formatting doesn't work.

See, that's part of the reason all this rubs me the wrong way. It's not a "larger" world, it's a different world. Gamers make it seem like it's the same as reading or any other activity. It's not.
