Screenage Wasteland's the 500 Greatest Video Games of All Time

Firstly, I (to the best of my ability) eliminated personal bias and then focused on a set of objective criteria (importance, influence, Etc.) that I used as a metric to give titles a numerical value.

Graphics were only ever a plus, never a minus (games date horribly, so I didn't judge that against them but if a title had unique graphics, it certainly got a bump) and popularity and fun were major factors as well.
