From November. It's a chronological list so it doesn't rank the games themselves.

Not a terrible list, most of the games listed are classics or potential classics, but there are definitely some omissions (GTA: SA, but not GTAV. Also, they have Planescape Torment: EE but no BG2: EE). They start in 1990 with Red Baron, but I wonder why they didn't just push the list to 100 to include some older classics that are peerless like Sid Meier's Pirates, SMAC, Jagged Alliance 2, etc...
