AbsoluteGenius Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I'm sorry but FM09 is not even the best Football Manager. As for best game ever, no chance. No Football Manager can beat Final Fantasy 7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaeltmurrayuk Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I would vote but that list is a mess - Mario Kart doesn't exist, Halo and Halo: Combat Evolved are the same game, they also have missed off too many great games: CM01/02, Red Alert, Monkey Island, Fallout etc...

Wakers Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 To be fair it does say 'championship manager' which I guess applies to the whole series. I dunno why they didn't just put football manager in the list, because 09 is the worst of the series. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeltmurrayuk Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I thought that, but then they seem to list every version of Grand Theft Auto aswell as various version of other games (surprised they didn't fill it with the countless versions of The Sims and Pokemon) obviously much thought was put into making the list Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pukey Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 A list of best games ever simply should not have Wii sports on there, as well as quite a few others. I think I'll vote for Mario 64 because I love it so much. But still...ridiculously bad list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenal_2111 Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Link's Awakening.Shoddy, shoddy list, and no way 09 should be on there. Got to agree that it shouldn't be there, if it was Football Manager as a series it would be 100% yes. But I still voted, mainly because of the time I've spent on it.

heathxxx Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 There's many, many great games missing from that list and as others have said, the list itself is shoddy. For example, how could you have countless Mario games, but only have Fallout 3 and no mention of Fallout 1 & 2. There's a few token classics there, but not enough to make it a list I could ever take seriously. I was particularly disappointed not to see any of the X-COM series mentioned. True greats that have been copied and replicated time and again. Much better "Top 100's" can be found below and show that the Beeb didn't really bother to do much research and their "experts" aren't very, well, expert. http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/specials/100games/1.html http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=164289 http://top100.ign.com/2008/ (Incidentally I did vote for FM09 on the BBC site, as a reflection of the whole series) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cynet Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 would not vote for fm09 as it was a poor update on fm08 with a 3d match engine thrown in and to me is the most dissapointing version to date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M0nk3yFac3 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I can see why CoD4 won, definately, but I can also see why FM got second place. Fantastic achievement, and like DanG said, it beat Wow (mainly cause WoW sucks) and I can use this to help prove FM is a better game than WoW.
