Radiant Silvergun.Panzer_Zwei

I don't believe that one person can pick the true best game of all time cause t depends on personal taste. Also i doubt there is any possible way for one person to play all of the possible candidates whichs spans across every console and probably totals up to thousands. But for me I can't decide cause I've played so many good gamesVideogamefan123

This is quite a topic. Great post TC. >_>

Anyways, Super Mario Bros for me.

Final Fantasy Tactics (PSX) or Ninja Gaiden (XBOX)

There always has to be one guy who says....

Chrono Trigger!!!!

Zelda TOoT

Street Fighter II

Metal Gear Solid

Final Fantasy VII

Halo

Tetris

most people say Ocarina of time, which I agree is probably the best.

Radiant Silvergun on the other hand is a game I can play any day and always get a blast. I just turn on my Saturn and finish the game in 10 minutes and I never get bored of it.

Halo series and Zelda: Ocarina of Time

just to add pepper to discussion i name few other games, resident evil remake (gc exclusive), shadow of the colossus

it's definitely not the greatest game but i'll always have a special place in my heart for Streets of Rage 2 for the Genesismonkeyman10989

Me and you both, i can play that game today and still love it, great times.

Knights of the Old Republic.

Doom

I have a hard time with this one. If we're talking about the NES/SNES/Genesis days I don't think I could pick just one. There were just so many great titles (and some truly horrible ones :))

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

Final Fantasy IX and VII

pac man, reminds me of being 15.

i'll have to agree with you OP

NiGHTS: Into Dreams

sublime pick up and play delight thats still a blast to play now... shame about that shoddy Wii sequal.

that's if i had to pick one.

luckily I don't because i could quite happily have Panzer Dragoon Saga (almost the perfect game)

and Streets of rage 2 because, I STILL play this game and find it blisteringly good fun.

call me a sega fanboy if you like, but these games are beyond most in terms of quality and playabilty.

Guwange (haven't played Radiant Silvergun yet so I can't tell if that is the better shmup)followed byYakuza andPokémon

metal gear solid and street fighter 2

The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. My favorite is Devil May Cry 3.

Doom

Very much agreed. Nothing will ever beat the Doom games!

Very much agreed. Nothing will ever beat the Doom games!

not even call of duty modern warfare 2?

Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction

Final Fantasy VI

Super Mario 64. Very easy for me to play through now, but it was imo the most revolutionary game to be released, and I played it heavily back in the day.

I was just playing Mario 64 about 2 hours ago. It very well may be the most finely crafted game in "modern" video games.

mario 3 like always

I can't pick. There's been so many great games and as much as it seems like we're on a downward spiral, I refuse to believe that the greatest game of all time has been made yet. The 'Dark Knight' of video games, so to speak, has not been made.

What is the "Dark Knight" of games supposed to mean?

A game that is widely overrated but incredibly popular, I'd guess.

People can say Zelda OoT, Metal Gear Solid, Doom, Super Mario Bros. 3, Goldeneye 007, Perfect Dark, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (10.0 on gamespot), Halo, Super Mario 64, Final Fantasy VII, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil 4, etc. Those are all games that defined or revolutionized their particular genre's at the time of release.

The fact is everyone has different tastes - in which case my top 5 games include none of the above - so there is no answer for a "Best of all time" yet the answer is also "insert your favorite game name here" - any game can be the best to any person. Then it also comes down to the "best" on any given game system (pinball, arcade, handheld anc consoles all included). My particular "best game of all time" for a console is Twisted Metal 2 on Sony PlayStation.

i was stunned by mario 64 at the time.. even playing it now i can see why.

My favourite is Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.

As for the best... well i know it's a cliche but everyone has their opinions blah blah but Ocarina of Time definitely makes a very good case, as a lot of games are claimed to be the best for their influence onfuture games, where as with OoT, it's mainly that it's just an incredible game.

Don't get me wrong, I think Mario 64, Halo CE, GTA III etc. are all great games, but in my opinion anyway, the games that they have influenced, some of them anyway,have surpassed the quality of these games.

Several years ago, you would've said Baldur's Gate II instead. Why the switch?
