That's why I like the lists that will have *one* entry on the top 50 for 
the entire series of games.  So for example, the PC Gamer list would 
have "Hl series" as number 1 rather than making a destinction between 
the two.  That way you avoid the problem you mentioned with games that 
are older and have been outdone by their sequels.

Right.  So why not just give one place to "Diablo series" and be done 
with it?

Yeah I agree it's out of place here.  Unless your name is "John Lewis", 
then I guess it's #1 on the list, right?

I never liked it either.  I guess it's popular for the same reason that 
"Survivor" TV show (and all those new "reality" shows for that matter) 
are popular.  Never interested me in the slightest.  There's just no 
*game* there...

High Heat is the only sports game I'd put on my list.  It was just that 
good.  Some people would put Earl Weaver there instead, I'm sure.
