Thing is, no one will have the same favouite games so no best of list will ever fit perfectly for anyone. However when you make a list of 500 games you can guarantee most people will see a lot of their favourite games on there.

I think it was quite a cool idea to compile the list utilising 30 years worth of existing best of lists. And I'm guessing these were IGN lists so a mix of user voted and article review created lists.
