IGN's Top 100 games of all time

[Warbie]

Pffffftt, UT was so much more than Q3 could ever be.

Maybe in a spammy, 'run around like headless chickens and shoot everything, Timesplitters' kind of way

Q3 was pure skill - king of Death Match \o/

 

[Sulkdodds]

Yes it is.

Are we talking about the same game?

There are a hell of a lot of games I'd rather play than Tetris...

 

[Seagull]

Yes, it's somewhere in the 90-100 spots... great game it was.

Funny... that's exactly how I remember Quake 3.

The UT franchise has more varied and original weapons than Q3 (as well as alternate fire modes), it was more customizeable (more options, mutators, etc), it has more complex gametypes (LMS, CTF, Assault, and Domination... not including the ones added in the GOTY edition) in addition to the ones also available in Q3, you could track your stats with the built-in ngWorldStats, it has more intelligent AI, and it's generally accepted that it had a better level editor. I will say that Quake 3 had better animation and a slightly better feel to the movement... but to say that UT was the mindless one of the two is just a baseless accusation.

That being said, I still liked Q3... I just liked UT even more.

I would prefer polls like this one to be defined by genre.

But even then not all could agree.

(Ocarina of Time for #1)

 

[Venmoch]

Heh, Return Fire.

Now theres a blast from the past

 

[Vigilante]

I'm happy Halo 2 didn't make the list.

 

[Dalamari]

Ugh, I hate it when they rate classic games high, I loved Super Mario Bros. and all the old Nintendo games, but now that I have BF2 and Splinter Cell 3, I would much rather play those.
