Notable Games
"Top 100" lists on other websites are an arbitrary list of popular games. The "notable games" listed here are all those that have been noted by more than one person for specific gameplay related reasons. As such the list should be viewed as a list of games people have recommended for technical reasons.
The genre field on the individual game pages will eventually list the gameplay reasons why these games were recommended. Keep an eye on the Updates page to see which lists have had descriptions added to the genre details.
To submit a game based on these criteria please visit the WAG Forums.
