  1. I'm actually fairly surprised that Mass Effect 3 is so high on this list. Though I personally loved this game, there was a general popular outcry against its ending that led to a lot of low user scores despite critical praise. Also, I personally disagree with Solitaire being on this list. Sure its a fun game that I played my fair share of times but I feel like its more card game than video game. Its not innovative or unique, its just a computer version of a game that existed long before. Finally, there's no way Braid should be so far back on this list. Amazing story + fun, unique and innovative gameplay + the game that really cracked open the Indie market = definite top 100
