TIME magazine has listed its top 100 games of all-time and they even sorted it by era. Keep in mind though that the list is in no particular order. So don't get your panties in a bunch when one game you think is better than the other is "rated" higher since it's not.
So, without further ado, here are the top 100 videogames listed by TIME (via NeoGAF).

Batman: Arkham City
Mass Effect 3
While lists like these are always controversial, do you agree that in this era (2010 to beyond), the most notable games are Batman: Arkham City and Mass Effect 3? I know Batman is widely-considered one of the best comic book to videogame adaptation ever but enough to put it ahead of other games? I do know that Mass Effect 3 "haters" will outright complain that BioWare's trilogy-ending sequel is in there and it can be argued that it should and shouldn't be part of it, no?
Looking at the list, which games would you take out and which ones would you add in?
