RuySan you could easily swap the 'Linda' for 'Flat top' or 'Man brat' ifyuseeworrameen. |

No. In fact, it made top ten in a poorly-written list I did a few years ago. |

Secret Of Mana wasn't #10. I can't remember what was, but yeah, probably a tenth as good as Mana, FFIII or Mario 64.

I like Tsu's idea around the weighting, though I think that one first place is worth more than two tenth places. I'm not sure exactly how you'd slide the scale though. (though obviously we're not changing the list now). |

Surely all those ones with ten points are just there because someone voted them their favourite game of all time and therefore should be forced at gunpoint to do the write up? |

I'll do Civ 4. I can also do Super Mario Galaxy if you want someone who hated it to do a review?  Also, how can we be struggling to get someone to write about the #1 game? Surely it got loads of votes? |

Hypersports - 10 My fav game , however what do people want as a writeup , i'm not a writer and have no idea what the expecation is for this 'paragraph' about the game , "Its a game , things happen you jump around n stuff" or "Its Wii sports version 0.1" :-) In any event stick my name next to this one and i'll sort out something but it might be after i see what someone else has written about any other one. There are also 2 others from my list in the doc's section (DG) 1. Resident Evil 4 - 46.5 * (DG) 11. Elite - 26 |

Either because it's historically important, or it's really good fun, or a bit of both.

Brilliant! That leaves just four games I really need writers for: 17 Zelda: Ocarina of Time - 21.25 * 39. Landstalker - 10 40. Samurai Warriors 2 Empires - 10 41. World Of Warcraft - 10 To those who have contributed writeups already, many thanks, I am compiling a master document ready for editing. |

I could probably do World of Warcraft if nobody else steps up, though I didn't contribute to the vote and I'm rubbish at writing things well. It's low down, mind, so it's not as if much of a write-up is needed. |
