Edge Picks “The 100 Best Games To Play Today”
Published on January 01, 0001
The latest issue of joy rummy Edge—which happens to be the magazine’s 200th—not only features 200 different magazine covers, it lists “The 100 Best Games To Play Today,” compiling the best of what’s still extremely playable.

This isn’t a “These Are The Best Games Of All-Time” list, nor a rattling rummy new app off of the 100 most influential. It’s Edge’s attempt to pin down what it considers “a snapshot of the titles that define modern videogaming as it stands in March 2009.” That means some of your favorite 8-bit titles might be missing in action.
But it also makes for a very agreeable list of modern day classics and 16-bit titles that stand the test of time.
We’ll spoil it for you: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time sits at #1. In fact, Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda and Mario series make rummy nobel multiple appearances, as do oft-overlooked games like Jet Set Radio Future, Frequency, Viewtiful Joe and R-Type Final. (Never did finish that last one on the list, sadly.)
Sure, you may find some oversights (Diablo II? Still eminently playable, Edge dudes.) and some curiosities (Ninja Gaiden…. II?) but you may also find some holes in your gaming experience collection that need filling in.

The bonuses are nice and offer great value, although they could be a bit more frequent. I love being part of the VIP program, which gives me extra rewards and makes me feel appreciated as a loyal player.
