I'm not keen on the idea that peoples decisions on the refining process may be influenced by the fact they could see their favorite game edge upwards.

I didn't know what to expect, but it wasn't that.

I'm surprised to see no GTA of any description, and now Halo game of any description. I'm also saddened to see no Supercars 2 (you philistines!) and no Lemmings (though that got bumped to #11 on my own list).

Excellent work, Chinny (and a little bit from Myp)! Thanks for this, it's been ace I'd like to make this into a UpToJump feature if we can, with someone who voted for each placed game writing a few paragraphs about why they chose it, maybe a few more people for each game as we move up the list. I'll do FF7

Post subject:	Re: The Official BEEX Bestest Games Of All Time
Resi 4 is a good choice (albeit my 3rd choice behind King's Bounty and Rebelstar 2). It got so much right and no-one has gotten close making a better game in that genre (Dead Space and Resi 5 were okay but miles off).

Post subject:	Re: The Official BEEX Bestest Games Of All Time
Barely heard of the top game beyond the fact that I played RE1 and 2 to death, but voted for several in the Top Ten and I think over half of my votes were for games in the Top 50. And I don't dislike theg ame that won. So that's not bad. EXCELLENT WORK, CHINNY!

R-Type clocked in about number 70 (we have no numbering below 50 so all numbers are approx) No Dizzy! Deathchase only got 5 votes but from spread across quite a few people. Ant Attack, Jet Set Willy, Lemmings, Bombjack all hovering down the bottom. The highest placed game you can play on a CPC or Speccy is number 11 (I'm not counting Doom). Not much love for Cannon Fodder on 6 points!

Also, people do have short memories. Like the listener voted for Top 100's you hear on the radio where some Atomic Kitten dross comes in as the 2nd best song of all time. Which is why when I compiled such a chart, I deliberately weighted down any song from the past 2 years because otherwise it would have been a travesty.

RE4 is the only game I can recall completing twice right through (once on 'Cube, once on Wii). I enjoyed every inch of it, and I think it's a worthy winner.

surprised Syndicate didn't hit the top 50. I figured, given the Stu Campbell, connection that a few old Amiga-heads would have dropped in a few votes for it.

That was excellent, nice one Chinny (&myp). I think only two of my games made it into the top 50, but that doesn't really surprise me :0)

Very surprised to see Doom so high. Sure, it was ground-breaking, but does anyone prefer playing Doom to Quake? Or Doom 2?

Me too, it was on my list (although at the lower end). My top 6 were all in the list, many of them nearer the bottom though. Would be interesting to see which games were only nominated by a single person, possibly some obscure ones in there. Surprised to see Resi 4 winning it. I liked it on the Wii a hell of a lot, but it wasn't in my top ten.

Whereas if something I actively dislike had won (Super Mario Galaxy, for instance) then I'd say "Pah!" or something similar.

Very interesting list. Surprised not to see any GTA on it at all, but then I didn't vote (due to not being any good at making my mind when it comes to ranking games). So, I feel the need to give Resident Evil 4 a go. Which is the best version?

I've only played the Cube version, but the others are shite (PS2 PC) apart from the Wii version.
