So I was watching "100 Greatest Video Games of All Time" on G4's website, and I found out that Minecraft was only #67 on the list.
......
Are you kidding me? Minecraft is way better than #67, let alone #2 on the list. G4, you have failed Mojang, Notch, Jeb, Minecraft, and their fans. Who the hell selected these games?
But on the bright side, at least it made the list.
I see that as very reasonable... I mean, Minecraft didn't revolutionize gaming in anyway really.
I don't see what the problem with that is, but I haven't seen the list.

Not only is minecraft listed a little low on the list in my opinion, but they also took part of my content from my channel to use in their presentation, and didn't credit me in any way or form. I did the Balamb Garden video in the "omg look at what these kids are doing" section of the video, and it makes me sad there wasn't at least even a mention of my name for making it, or even an email from them saying "hey, we'd love to use your content for this!"
So I'm trying to spread the word with this nice little video, to at least have others asked us if they want to use our things, because we put a ton of time into creating the "inspiring" work in minecraft :[
Minecraft is 10X beter than C.O.D! How did mc only get 67?!
From what I know about G4, they're pretty biased toward violent games such as COD.
This kind of thing doesn't shock me in the slightest.

Bioshock is #3? I really don't think it was even good enough for top 20 in my honest opinion. I think the theme of this list is way too general. I mean what makes a game great? Graphics, gameplay, quality? If so then all the older games would get smoked by all the newer games. Is it innovation? ( Putting graphical innovation aside ) If so then, in my opinion, all those zelda games and mario games should be farther down the list. This "Greatest Games in History" subject is WAY too broad without explanations for each game. I believe ALOT of these choices were made by people who were hyped up on nostalgia by how high some of these games are on the list.
Holy **** people. Minecraft isn't "omg best ding evar". It's good, but not nearly as good as people live it up to be.
Stop hating on CoD at it. It has massive mainstream appeal, so it's a no brainer to put it in the upper quartiles.
Which again raises the question of what criteria they used to pick those. You can't go by simple internet vote, and your researchers would have to be old enough to recognize a lot of games (which skews the results through exposure alone). Going by sales numbers is one thing, but it tells you nothing about the game's appeal.... only that it has one.
But my gripe is G4 got far too commercial (call me hipster all you want, I'm well aware of the irony), and that its allowed itself to become a watered down, generic series of 30 minute webcasts and Youtube remixes. The reviews are bland, they focus almost completely on titles people are already well aware of, don't even bother to break into the nitty gritty, and never ream on a title that deserves it. And in that rare gem of a moment when it seems like they are finally capable of providing some sort of useful information.... they run out of time. Mark my words, G4 is going to become the gamer version of SpikeTV.
I had been watching that about 20 minutes ago and wondered if Minecraft would be mentioned. While I didn't expect it to score very well, I was at least hoping that it would be somewhere on the list. Thanks for this confirmation (I still think it needs a higher rating though. xD).

Don't know yet. I'm still watching it online.
I don't see what the problem with that is, but I haven't seen the list.
Minecraft isnt the best game in the world now -.-

You sound like you work for G4. I agree with MaryseOulette that this is your opinion. IMO Minecraft should be in the top 20.
Marv
I am ninja'd far too often.
And I agree Minecraft was low-rated. IMO it should be ranked #14th

well they are retarded.
violent games are just stupid.
My Childhood says otherwise.
They should switch that with Pong.
Did ANYONE notice the irony of that?
These all deserve to be ranked 1.
But, then again, there's a reason I stopped watching G4. (hint: it sucks). Although Ninja Warrior is pretty badass.
It gets a result.
yes i do see the irony of that.
