Over the next few days in this post, we're going to roll out the latest update to the pwnRank Top 100 Video Games of All-Time. It's going to be a doozie! Several games are making their way back into the Top 100, lots of new releases are creeping closer toward the top in the Top 500, and there's quite the shake up in the Top 10.
If you've just stumbled upon pwnRank, and aren't really sure what's going on, take a look at how we come up with our rankings, and what sets us apart from other sites and publications. We think we've got a pretty awesome system setup to truly identify greatness in gaming.
Per usual, we've updated all of our dynamic lists (the lists that are continually changing, mainly due to community voting), but we've also added several new lists; some with an international flair. Take a look at what we've added to the mix:
- 40 Video Games That Changed the World (FHM)
- The Best PC Games (PC Gamer)
- The Greatest Videogames - 2017 Edition (Edge Magazine)
- Top 100 Greatest Video Games of All Time (Jeuxvideo.com, France)
- Games with Perfect Scores (Famitsū, Japan)
- Famitsū Readers Choose the Top 100 Best Games of All-Time (Famitsū, Japan)
Make sure to check back in here over the next few days as count down to #1. The complete update, including the Top 500, will be launched after we've finished our countdown here.
Without further adieu, here are your greatest games of all-time...
