(List of my favorite games) We hold these truths to be self-evident, that videogames are created awesome. . ..

Uhh. Not really sure how to follow that up. Here goes, anyway:

I'm very often accused of hating every game that is ever released; this is not true. I only hate about 99% of them.

Therefore, as something of a massive insurance policy, as something to point to every time someone says I/we complain too much about trivial things and should just “relax” because these are “games” are you’re supposed to have “fun” when you play them, we have compiled this thorough list of what I consider to be the thirty-three best games of all-time. The choices on this list — save for one — are not made with the intention of riling anybody up. I have chosen simply and mathematically and scientifically. The criteria for a game’s inclusion — well, the criteria are actually pretty dodgy and antisocial, though let’s just pretend that I picked games that we really love — a lot — and that possess a clean aesthetic, self-assured graphical and sonic presentation, streamlined mechanics, and common-sensical level design.

Actually, wow. That’s really about all there is to this list: clean games with crunchy, frictionous play mechanics, self-confident graphics and sound, and natural flows, where the in-game challenges get progressively more and more difficult due solely to the arrangement of obstacles and positioning of enemies, not because you’re under-leveled or ill-equipped: in most of these games, the game is over when you are not good enough, not because you don’t possess the orange lantern, whose red fire is the only thing that can burn down blue trees.

Of course, there will be slight exceptions, in which case I demand your immediate understanding: this is, after all, a website, and not your website. That’s not to say I'm not open-hearted: sure, we’d give you this website, if our psychic hadn’t assured us that you would just immediately burn it to the ground by trying to cook a frozen hot dog in the toaster.

Anyway, on with the show. Let the shrieking begin:
