What's the best game of all time?

I'm curious what this forum would say about Gamefaq's recent poll for the best game ever.

These choices are from the Final poll in that contest, plus the most recent runner-up.

Which is the best game of all time, do you think?

Final Fantasy IX/ Majoras Mask

There is no best game of all time, it's all too subjective.Tykain

Grim fandango or monkey island.

Tetris

Out of that list, either Ocarina of Time or FFVII. Anyone that actually thinks MGS4 is the best game of all time needs to play more games.comeonthehoops

Definitely Tetris. Been playing it for 20 years now :)

monkey island.

Excellent selection. I think I'd go with X-Com: UFO Defense, personally, though Civilization IV and Master of Orion would have to be considered as well.

For me Super Mario Bros 3 its brilliant 2D platforming.

Wow, none of the above.

Ocarina of Time for me.

How could you not put Super Mario Bros. 1 on that list? It's pretty much the reason you're playing games today.

It was really close between ALttP, OOT, and FFX for me. I had to choose OTT in the end though :P

Planescape Torment.tagyhag

Those are some really bad games.dont-read-this

Dawn of war 1. But since its not up there, I'll vote for MGS4 since its the one I liked most out of all of the ones listed.

You couldn't sum up a list of the "greatest" games of all time in a list of 500, let alone 5. Those listed in the poll, aside from A Link to the Past are laughable. There have been countless other great games deserving of those positions. Hell, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are all better than Ocarina of Time.

Everything about the "greatest game of all time" idea is flawed. It is just a popularity contest. The truly great games are the ones very few people have even played, while the good ones are played by everyone. There is no one, singular "greatest" game. There can't be. Everyone's individual tastes vary from person to person and from genre to genre. What you need is a non-numbered list of agreed upon entrants, from every genre, on every platform, from all generations. Like the list Gamespot put together for a time.

Anyway, you still haven't said yours.tagyhag

[QUOTE="tagyhag"][QUOTE="Jandurin"] I usually go with Final Fantasy 6 or Planescape Torment or Master of Magic >_>Jandurin

If we had to choose from those, it'd be Ocarina of Time.

But the real best game of all time is Tony Hawk's Underground.

Man these games are quite old, were you like 30 when they came out?tagyhag

Metal Gear Solid 1 but out of that list Metal Gear Solid 4
