The original pair of Pokemon games were ranked 26 on a list of 50 most influential games of all time by Guiness World Records.
While I can totally get behind the games being topped by such industry-changing legends as Final Fantasy VII (20) and Tetris (2), I don’t quite see how Pro Evolution Soccer 4 (21) and Lego Star Wars Complete Saga (23) are as influential games as something like Pokémon that has spawned such a thriving fandom, not to mention its continued influence on pop culture and the media.
I’m not the only one who thinks the list is out of whack; Brian Crecente, managing editor of Kotaku.com, called the list “straight out of crazy town.”
