At one timed named the most hated company in America, game publisher Electronic Arts has been downgraded to only the fifth most hated as of 2018 according to USA Today.
Even so, the company has almost four decades of existence under its belt, years in which its had both great success and some disastrous launches across hundreds of game titles. This week, Collider crunched the numbers from a variety of subjective sources to come up with a definitive list of the best games the company has ever published.
Taking Metacritic critical and user scores, Gamespot critics scores, and IMDb user ratings and working out an average, they ended up with a score out of 100 for each title. In the cases of multiplatform games which can have varying scores, the highest number from across the platforms was taken into account. The top fifteen are as follows:
1. Mass Effect 2 (92)
2. Portal (91)
3. Dragon Age: Origins (91)
4. Diablo (90.5)
5. Half-Life 2 (90)
6. System Shock 2 (89.8)
7. Command & Conquer: Red Alert (89.5)
8. SSX Tricky (89.3)
9. Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri (89)
10. Clive Barker’s Undying & SSX3 (88.5)
11. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault & Dungeon Keeper (88)
12. Burnout Revenge (87.8)
13. Titanfall 2 (87.5)
14. Dead Space 2 & Battlefield 2 (87.3)
15. Left 4 Dead & Quake III: Arena (86.8)
The winner isn’t a huge shock, 2010’s “Mass Effect 2” is often considered that franchise’s peak, won plenty of game of the year awards and has made it onto a few ‘greatest games of all time’ lists.
