For the new book, now in its eighth year, Guinness World Records reached out to fans and readers of their gaming edition and asked them to vote on their favourite games.

Craig Glenday, Editor in-Chief at Guinness World Records told The Independent: ‘More than 5,000 fans of the book from 140 countries across the world took to an online poll to vote for their favourite games, and the top 50 record-breaking games were featured in the book’.

I don't blame Guinness here. They polled their readers asking what their favourite games were and Call of Duty came out at #1. I think it's a little erroneous on their part to call it "best", but it being voted at #1 just indicates the quality of Guinness's readership.

Assassin's Creed #8? I'm amazed it's on the top 50. Most games in the series are garbage (okay, average). That said, I had no idea GWR was still going.

And to think that I can remember the point in time when GWR was literally found in the reference section of libraries...

Last time I read one of their books, they played it safe and stuck to actual records like the Tallest Dude or Most Pies Eaten. When you start talking about something that is "best" without immediately following it up with "-selling", it kind of ruins the image that your system is unbiased and fair. "Most Popular" might have been a better choice of words.

It's pretty much the same as Halo: Neither presented anything revolutionary or unprecedented, but it was the combination of all the original elements gleaned from other games into an accessible product that made them so popular. CoD's "perks" and the vast majority of its alternative game modes were pre-dated by CounterStrike mods years before Modern Warfare came about, and even then it was just RPG aspects under a different genre.

New Black Ops 3 trailer out, and uh...yeah, just watch it.





Not sure if trailer for the new Deus Ex game, or CoD is doing copypasta yet again...

You know, I love how Guiness has become increasingly irrelevant as time has gone on.

ACCORDING TO A SAMPLE OF 5000 PEOPLE COD IS THE BEST GAME EVER, THAT MAKES IT OFFICIAL.

If I get enough people to say I have the world's largest cock, does Guiness now have to give my claim credence?

Because if so, I may need to begin a ballot-stuffing initiative.
