Well, only the top 40 are left to go and man, #41 showing up so early was an unpleasant surprise that has me seriously wondering.

#100 : Demon Souls

Stopped reading there. Demon Souls is at least top 20 material for such a top 100.

Holy hell, the list from 60-40 has so many complete jokes.

Wii Sports Resort, Mirror's Edge, Tetris DS, DJ Hero? Seriously? There are so many games that come after these that deserve to be above them.

Only way this can be saved is if TF2 is in the top ten, imo.

Also Meteos was cool until I realized that you literally win by just swiping back and forth on the screen.

Nice to see Professor Layton and the Unwound Future made the list (I personally would've placed it higher, but I would not have been surprised if it were absent from the list).

I was surprised to see Twilight Princess only placed at #39, as well.

There are several games between 30 and 20 that I don't think very highly of, and would probably not have included had I made my own list, such as Limbo.

I expect Mass Effect 2 to place first, based on some of IGN's other features, though Super Mario Galaxy would be my choice.

Also, I found it amusing that this list seems to be limited to games on seventh gen consoles, even though other games that were released from 200 to now are just as "modern" as many games on the list.

I always expect crappy lists when I see IGN, but who doesn't? Demon's Souls only at 100 is silly. Not only that, but it irks me every time someone mentions how hard the game is because it's really not that hard of a game. You just can't run around not paying attention to everything.
