I suppose I was making the point that good games often become great games when viewed through the lens of history. How many games can we say we enjoyed when they were released, but say 10-15 years later, we realize that in a historical context, that they were part of a small group of games that truly defined a genre, or a console, or an era of gaming?

I'd think that would be more relative to "classics" than the "best games ever".

The whole point of evaluating a game at the time of it's release is to determine it's quality at the time of release.

If this were a discussion of classics, I would agree with you.

Right, and Dark Souls, by critical standards, was reviewed as a very good game at the time of release, right? I'm simply pointing out that it may not still be viewed as a good game in 5 or 10 years, however, most of the games on that list have stood the test of time and manage to maintain their status as good (some, even great) games.

@BranKetra: There's a really interesting read on John Williams and his career in the New Yorker.

My first thought was that Dark Souls is way too contemporary to be considered the greatest anything of all time.

What does age have to do with it? A good game is a good game.

The APA suggests making realistic resolutions to increase the chances of sticking to them.

@spike6958: You're not the first to have issues with TFA's music, as I've heard that from several people. I haven't listened to it as closely as I'd like yet, as I've only heard it in the context of the film so far. Something else to do while on break !

@charizard1605: I wouldn't be 31 hours in if I hated it. =P

(P.S. Mass Effect is not an RPG.)

@BranKetra: This is an interesting watch on Nolan and Zimmer working on the music for Interstellar. https://youtu.be/HtifWqsON1g
