I propose that the above move shouldn't count as one of Groucho's moves but instead an administrative correction.

Agreed. The last thing we need is this thing losing integrity.

I think so And you probably could make an argument for Tetris if you want to consider impact and longevity. And on that note...

1. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
2. Final Fantasy VII
3. Goldeneye 64
4. Gran Turismo
5. Super Metroid
6. Rock Band 2
7. Half-Life 2
8. Removed Silent Hill 2 / Added The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
9. Sim City (SNES)
10. Bioshock

What can I say, Link to the Past is one of my favorite games ever and since I never got into the 3D Zelda games, the last one I really loved.

Re: Ranking the Top 10 Video Games Ever - A New Forum Game!

Might get nailed for this, but:

1. Baldur's Gate 2
2. Counter-Strike
3. Removed Rock Band 2/ Added The Beatles: Rock Band
4. Gran Turismo
5. Super Metroid
6. Removed Ico / Added Shadow of the Colossus
7. Half-Life 2
8. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
9. Sim City (SNES)
10. Bioshock

I felt The Beatles took everything from RB2, added a thick coat of awesomeness to it. Then they threw on the dreamscapes, great story progression, and some amazing special features. I'm still blown away by the Xmas recording on the disc - and pretty much every tweak to the engine from this version is in RB3 (if not all).

Scott - once again, there was ZERO need to quote that post as a separate post. If you wanted to point it out, then it should have been in your original post about the topic. Remember what happened last time? The next time isn't likely to be as lenient - just fair warning.

I'm not changing anything, I'm just quoting to point out how this list just got 100X more awesome with the No Mercy add. Nobody fuck it up!
