Whether it's music, television or games, the media loves making lists of things lately. Sometimes, it seems like you can't even read a magazine, or visit a website without running into their list of the "10 Greatest Somethings of All Time".

Recently, making Top 100 lists of video games has been all the rage, and we here at TJG wanted to get in on this. However, the idea of listing our favorite 100 games and then writing flowery love letters describing how wonderful they are just didn't seem very, well... jaded. So we came up with a better idea.

Using a complicated process that involved other people's Top 100 lists, math formulas, spreadsheets and possibly even the aid of Ukrainian rocket scientists, we managed to determine the 100 games that are widely regarded as the best games ever. This list isn't in any kind of order mind you... No, rather than rank all 100 games, we decided to make a Top 10 list, so 90 games had to be eliminated by the staff. Each time a game was eliminated, we wrote about what we found wrong with it that made it unworthy of Top 10 honors. Once the list was pared down properly, the staff then took a vote on the ten remaining games, and then continued to find flaws in them as we put them into a final order.

To put it another way, our group of very jaded gamers bashed some of the best games ever made until we determined which one sucks the least. It may not be the most scientific method ever, but we think you'll enjoy it nonetheless.
