[QUOTE=PLing;29735868]Why isn't Morrowind in there. I am disappoint.[/QUOTE]

I was thinking this too. I've only played Oblivion but atleast one TES game should be represented, and Morrowind fits the bill for art.

[QUOTE=shadow_of_intent;29712177]Very true, but it still doesnt really fix my disappointment that the best Doom game wasnt put in, except the Doom which is kind of a slight expansion is added instead.[/QUOTE]

Doom 2 would've been great if Sandy Petersen didn't design more than half of the levels.

Wheres Daggerfall or Morrowind D:

Not sure why it's on the list.

[MadmanMad]

Look at list.

Notice there is no half-life.

List is obviously bullshit.

I keep getting reminded of this quote when I see this whole video games being seen as art discussion.

"People discuss my art and pretend to understand as if it were necessary to understand, when it’s simply necessary to love."

[Turnips5]

Worms Armageddon and Simcity 2000 are on the list.

Fucking awesome.
