"Didn't you used to pronounce "RPGamer" "R-P-G-gamer", though?"

Bastard!

I was baffled with the Suikoden 3 entry myself. If you ask me, they just wanted an excuse to bring up Rashomon. "Here's a wikipedia link for anyone who doesn't catch our obscure references! Tee-hee! We're so brainy!"

"...actually, come to think of it, I distinctly remember GamePro whining, outright WHINING, when its readers picked FF7 as Game of the Year in '97 because they thought it was so overrated."

Haha, nice. I seem to remember Die Hard Gamefan breaking the laws of mathematics and giving FF7 101%. But I can't find proof of that anywhere so I half-doubt it. Then again, this *was* the magazine o' Blue Shadows and racist anti-Japanese rants, so anything's possible. ;)

Didn't you used to pronounce "RPGamer" "R-P-G-gamer", though?

Oh, GamePro.

Xenogears is a game that has its positives (the music is pretty great) but which is horribly bogged down by its flaws (though I've often thought a new translation could improve the game monumentally). One way or another, it certainly doesn't belong on the list. Of course, neither do half the games on there.

(Suikoden 3 instead of 2? What the HELL?)
