Top 200 Games - According to Game Informer Mag. - Pt 1
"We argued. We agreed. We dismissed Ben's ideas outright. Creating a list like this wasn't easy, but we felt the 200th issue of Game Informer was the perfect time to highlight the best games of all time. Taking into account quality, cultural relevance, and industry impact, the staff voted with their hearts and minds to create our definitive list chronicling the best of the best. Have fun debating the results!"
