    -- 007: EVERYTHING OR NOTHING
    -- BLACK AND WHITE
    -- DEUS EX: INVISIBLE WAR
    -- DOOM 3
    -- FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES
    -- GRIM FANDANGO
    -- THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: THE WIND WAKER
    -- TIGER WOODS PGA TOUR 2005

    These to mention as "average" games that you definitely do NOT need to own -and I have tested almost every one of them. Also, most of them have got only pretty average reviews too on other sites.

    Since Halo 2 is in the list, that must mean they have reviewed the warezed version. :D

    I have like 15-20, don't feel like counting them. No N64-game is still available in stores, but I haven't seen BG2 often, never mind Dungeon Keeper 2...

    Woo...I've got 23 of those...

    That list isn't very good but. They have Halo 2 on, it isn't out yet. :nono:

    Besides, they included Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles...which immediately disqualifies the list from any claims at credibility.

    I've had 9 of those. But I've given or sold some 4-5 of those away.

    There's a huge bunch there that would get to my list of "top 100 of the crappiest games I've ever tried", though.

    Except for the games covered by SP and Monkey Island series, I don't have many games (unless I count the games stored on 1.44Discs, too)

    Was Caesar III on the list or AoE? Didn't see them.

    I had 5 Btw

    I have 34 but the best are Baldurs Gate II,Knights of the Old Republic (can not wait for the sequel to come out) and Warcraft III. Oh btw i agree they should have put Curse of Monkey Island istead of Escape from Monkey Island , it was far better game.

    I've got 15 of them and I definitely doesn't like there list. Escape from monkey island was a lousy game compared to the other MI games.
    FF VII was much better then FF X.
    and Black and white was boring after a couple of levels, wouldn't call that a must have

    Got 9.

    I'm surprised they had Rise of Nations and CivIII but not Age of Empire 1 or 2.

    And I think everyone should have a copy of Full Throttle. I think that was the first game I ever played.

    12, as in agreement with most above - list is pretty poor overall, FF VII or any older games bar few. Ah well.

    Remember people - the idea of this list is games to buy NOW that are avaliable in stores. Yet even though Planescape and BG II aren't exactly 'avaliable' since Black Isle kicked it.

    I have 6, but the only game that I consider worth having is Baldur's Gate II

    (Man, they don't even have Starcraft, WTF?)

    I was confused about Animal Crossing. What the hell are they thinking? Why do they have that in the same list as Doom 3?!?

    The fact that so many of these are console games make it so you can already tell that this thing is completely innacurate. Looks like they just picked the newest crap out for the consoles and plopped it in the list.
