Time Magazine Get Their Game Of The Year List All Wrong (Opinions Are Like Bums & All That)

"Intelligent."

"Intelligent."

Who are we to disregard some other publications opinion? Erm, ok, well, maybe we should leave that up to you valued reader. But screw it, we’re not a full on editorial site so we’re just going to come out and say it: Time Magazine’s Top 10 Videogames Of 2009 list is all wrong.

It’s not that the content is particularly wrong. It’s just that it’s all in the wrong order. See for yourself:

  1. Modern Warfare 2
  2. Batman: Arkham Asylum
  3. DJ Hero
  4. Borderlands
  5. New Super Mario Bros. Wii
  6. Geo-Defense Swarm
  7. Scribblenauts
  8. Halo: ODST
  9. Assassin’s Creed 2
  10. Uncharted 2

We’ll leave you with the quote that sums the whole list up, for Modern Warfare 2: “This is a game that sends a message: Video games have something intelligent to say about contemporary military conflicts.”

Erm, lol?

    This list is incomprehensible. Dj Hero at 3?! Scribblenauts is better than Uncharted 2 and Assassin's Creed 2?! This list IS all wrong, you guys got that right. I'm curious as to who wrote this? A sixty year old conservative war veteran that thinks his kid wants an Atari for Christmas? I mean, it seems they just looked at popular games this year and threw them on the list. Killzone 2 and inFamous with NO mention? This is madness.
  • I really like DJ Hero but there's no way it's better than some of the other games on the list. Likewise, Scribblenauts is super innovative but, I've heard from reliable sources, doesn't quite come together.

    Assassin's Creed 2 and Uncharted 2 should definitely be right at the top. Modern Warfare 2 should be in there, but not in first spot.

    I mean, if they weren't numbered, (just a generic list of the best 10) I could probably get behind it. But the ordering seems wrong to me.
