All Time Best Video Games

One of the few games I still play and by far the best. Tomb Raider was good but nothing like this beast.

tenthsage

Tomb Raider is a good game, but really, look at all the Top Ten Video Games of all time lists, most all of them have Ocarina of time as 1st. It's score gets 1st on Gamerankings, Metacritic, and it has a 10 on IGN, Gamespot and many others.

Even though I'm only 12, I can still say that this game is indeed, the best video game ever! The game is very long, so you like never get bored of it. Plus, it's got many cleverly thought out puzzles that are fun to solve, ^^ lastly, the atmosphere is amazing! Very, very well made game!

+2Great to see that tomb raider is back in business worldwide. I thought it would take a while... But I'm sure it will once again reach the top as is did the very first time it came out. TRU will definitely rock, more than any other PS game have done or will do... She will become for sure, the PS3 face just like she was the ps1s.

+1This game has everything required
Awesome game play, story, characters, weapons, graphics...
Except for AOD which sucks pretty bad
Besides that "its an all time favourite"

+1At one point this series was godlike. It was entertaining, challenging, and sexy. At some point towards the end of its rain it lost a lot of its thunder. Please tell me someone caught the pun... anyway, this game, regardless of its later faults, remains a formula that many companies would do well to follow.

METAL GEAR SOLID is the best video game series of all time. It is recommended to be played by all. Everyone who plays it will be in awe of its cinematic greatness, outstanding gameplay, and its numerous gameplay options and special features. The game is so popular and well respected that the creator, Hideo Kojima, is the most well known and respected video game directors of today. he should win an Oscar for his achievements in the Medal Gear franchise. Since it is a Playstation exclusive it is known mostly by PS fans, but now that he is taking it to XBOX 360, it will become a World-Wide video game console phenomenon. metal gear Solid 3 was my favorite because of the storyline, but MGS4 wins hands down with gameplay and OUTSTANDING Cinematic graphics with well known voice actors and models. Metal Gear series... 10 out of 10

Best Game Series Ever. I Mean The Story Is Better Than Most Hollywood Movies Just The Best, I Hope Metal Gear Will Never end.

copkiller

Mgs is one of the best games I have ever played, if you don't like metal gear is because you have never played it, his creator hideo kojima is the creator of this great saga, in my opinion the best game is metal gear solid: snake eater, and I think is also the preffered by many of the saga fans, I would like to see in the future the next part after the metal gear 4

It must be the first place.
Why didn't they vote for this the most wonderful amazing game?
Propably they never played this game.

11th place? There is an epicness about this game that nothing else really seems to come close to (except for Modern Warfare 2).

how is this not in the top ten? It is the highest selling game of all time, plus a very great shooter, and back in its prime would destroy any game, except maybe San Andreas, plus the graphics of this game were so realistic it wasn't funny!

Who the hell thinks tomb raider deserves such a high place on this list. Mario kicks tomb raider's ass.

Clive888

This game is a classic! No one can forget this game. The stars, the levels, the bowser bosses. This game is awesome! This is my favorite game and it always will be!

Why on earth is this game not higher on the list? Its way better than call of duty 4

An RPG set aside from older RPG titles. Created by the hands responsible for Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy franchises, along with artwork done by Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball/Dr. Slump), and music by Yasunori Mitsuda and Nobuo Uematsu, you get one of the most beautiful, story woven RPGs on any platform since it's release on the SNES.

I like zelda and all, but I've finished chrono trigger from start to finish two times and I think it is a very good game.

brilliant game finished both the original and sequel multiple times, we need another one!

Too awesome,
Good and evil, star wars, dialogue options, great story.
You feel like you're really playing an important role in the star wars universe.

I haven't even played but saw videos for it. By the way I crowed when goofy died, just as when I cry whenever a video game ends, because that's like a life ending right there.

q1q1q1q1q1

Definitely one of the games ever it has one of the best storylines I've ever seen it combines the disney and final fantasy characters so well and they also blend their own characters to.

Definitely a game with a great storyline and it blends quite well with disney characters and anime all together.

this game had the best story line ever! I cried and I'm a heterosexual male!

FFX is simply THE greatest game EVER!

glichs are the best thing in the game like hidden out of map and no russian

Come on, 17! This is EASILY the best video game it has amazing graphics and the snipers are AMAZING. Yep.

Along with Uncharted 2, this game features the most cinematic action sequences in video games today, along with some killer competitive and cooperative multiplayer.

montreal45

MK rules and deserves to be number 1! It has lots of blood and gore and violence plus cool characters! MK RULES AND ALSO MARIO!

Mortal Kombat is the most violent and exciting game you'll ever play with a great story and interesting characters mortal kombat is the best fighting game period.

ScorpDevil4

The most famous and entertaining fighting game ever. MK ruled in the 90's and still looked great in the 2000s. Mortal Kombat (2011) is another achievement for this franchise

Magnolia

Incredibly creative, highly innovative, and greatly passionate game. From the storyline to the gameplay, it is almost flawless.

first game I ever played only game till I explode or something

+4Still the most highly detailed and high-tech game today, even though it was made back in 2003 (very impressive). While the game itself drives many players insane, the huge detail, design, and unbelievable gameplay make it worthy of the Top Ten.

+2Absolutely incredible game on so many levels. Amazing visuals, music, atmosphere, storytelling, game play, and so much more. Metroid Prime broke a lot of ground and hasn't lost a bit of its fun despite being almost a decade old.

Metroid Prime is a great game by many means. Its story is concise while still being a good motivation to keep playing, and the world you traverse has good variety and ambiance. Its controls tight and responsive, despite the Gamecube controller being unsuited for an first-person perspective. The graphics were great, compared to other Gamecube games, adding to the atmosphere (like looking up for the first time on the Overworld, and seeing rain droplets trickle down your visor). On top of all of this, it stayed true to the Metroid franchise.

Just got this game today and it rocks! Go Leon go! Buy this game. It's excellent.

um this needs to be WAAAAAAAY higher on this list... just sayin

Miepo123

this and ocarina of time are pretty much tied for 1 IMO

DylanBr00ks

Best game ever! Awesome graphics and... I don't know everything PERFECT!

I haven't played this much, but it's really fun and easy to play.

It is just addicting. I spend 30 minutes trying to find a power star in one galaxy until I get lucky and move on to the next one. If you have a wii, you gotta get this game.

RHCPfan

this game is 30 spots to low the game is amazing action adventure SO MUCH FUN!

its the greatest game ever people over look it with other games its AMAZING

the most underrated game ever this game needs this sit down and play it

By far the most ingeniously developed multiplayer fighting game. With a blend of characters all across the Nintendo universe, and a nigh flawless fighting system, this game belongs on just about any top ten list.

This is worth of number one. It was the game that ended a video game crash and recreated the whole concept of video games. It also is the second best selling all time video game. It basically started the platform genre and should be recognized for it's absolute brilliance.

Clive888

Clive888 is all right. Super Mario Bros. is one of the best games ever. It simply is a Masterpiece and started THE Revolution.

I don't care how advanced video games get, this one started it all. This game saved Nintendo from near bankruptcy and kicked off one of the greatest series of all time.

I love the series, haven't played kingdom hearts 2 yet, and to all of you who haven't played it, play this, and you'll see that it'll beat zelda right out of that spot.

Best Game I have ever played. You build a relationship with the characters and you are on the journey with them. I cried after finally beating it :'(

While some would say it is overrated, I firmly believe that this is the closest gaming has ever come to emulating a cinematic, summer, action flick. The audiovisual presentation is mindblowing.

montreal45

Wow. Just wow. What puts this game aside from other scary shooters, like Dead Space for example, is you can seen what you're killing. It's never too dark. This game blew me away.

actually skyrim will be the best game ever until the next elder scrolls.

The freedom to be who you want to be in a fantasy world - will you save people or slay people? Go treasure hunting in a dungeon or steal from the closest house? In the Elder Scrolls, it's up to you.

Though I don't think Oblivion was the greatest game ever, It is my favorite. Why? Cause Oblivion isn't just better than your usual open ended RPG. It's MUCH better. To quote GameSpot, Oblivion is a rare and remarkable achievement.

RigasUT

The Gods of Olymus may have abandones Kratos, but not this game!

moonflash

The game that established the grounds for CS: the start of the FPS revolution. For some reason it is always underrated.

Much better than any of the other games, especially Tomb Raider. This game is even better than it's sequel, Half-life 2. This is a revolutionary game, and the greatest. If this game didn't exist, the Steam network and all current 3D games wouldn't exist or would be much worse than they are now.

wtf counter strike the highest played game online on 29
TODAY I HAVE LOST FAITH IN THE GAMING WORLD
cmon guys keep voting make cs reach at least on the top 10 where its place should rightfuly be

you want to talk about influential? counter strike is the single most played fps ever. and for good reason.

Counter Strike is the Best Action-first person game in the world. ESWC still has this game in his tournament. It should be in first place or at least in top 10

Behrad

Best game because it started the best franchise ever known to man. It doesn't get any better than halo

This was literally the best game of all time, and still is. The Graphics, sound, plot, action and gameplay are all things which are completely outstanding both for its time period and for all time. This was my favorite game I ever played, and most people didn't even play it in this generation, which is sad. When there was no online multiplayer, no one knew how to do that except to link up an xbox through some online bs... this game is by far the best of all time, the best there ever will be, far superior than even its sequels.

Put more than 500 hours at least on this game. Its my favorite video game no doubt. I also like Oblivion and Morrowind and New Vegas and Skyrim... Man Bethesda wins!

TheCamoGhost

+2The physics and graphics of this game is rly complete and perfect. Everything is interactive, everything is permitted, everything is yours. This game is truly stunning. Highly recommended.

“omg this brings me back to when i was a kid, i beat this game more then ten times and recently just bought a super nintendo just to play this game, few people knew about this game and yet it was amazing

xjrp11x

By far the most fun I've had in a video game. Other than MW2 and Skyrim Nothing comes close.

This is the best game in the whole entire WORLD! No doubt about it!

*Goes Back to playing Grand theft auto and running away from polices. *

How in the world can you people vote for San Andreas and not even have Vice City on the list?

“Need Shenmue on the ps3! Played everything, nothing tops it.

“Although without conclusion, this game was the first with open world gameplay & can hold up to anygame out today. The story is very immersive, the soundtrack is dreamy & the gameplay is an highly addictive rollercoater ride. All in all true classic greatness & definitely belongs on this list.

Laugh out loud its not even out yet but I know that this game will obliterate any other video game so that's why I'm casting my vote now because this game will be the best and there is no doubt in my mind that it will be amazing. No matter what anyone says.

Rando

This game is too epic to even be released to the general game public. Though it will be released (on an EPIC date: 11-11-11) soon, we already know that it is the best game ever made, and will be untill another new Elder Scrolls game will come out.

2nd best RPG world of warcraft is better. This game should be in the top 20

Best Mulitplayer game in the world over 9 million online

Greatest game ever! A lot of weapons, moves, a gigantic world, great puzzles, awesome storyline, awesome 2d graphics and awesome music! Why is Tomb Raider #1? This game is a true masterpiece and it should be experienced by everyone!

loganruckmanman

59 games in and this one is yet to be added. You can thank me later. While Ocarina is a masterpiece in it's own right, A Link to the Past laid the ground work for everything brilliant in a Zelda game, or any action/adventure game for that matter. Never before has a game brought me more joy than this title. Best game ever by a mile.

How is this on number 53? This game was my entire childhood and should be way higher on the list.

How could you not vote for this? What the hell is Tomb Raider doing there?

HALOOOOOOOO

This game established the birth of great multiplayer gaming. It is the best bond movie of all time and the game is even better.

If the guy who made this list hasn't got an Assassins Creed on his computer, then that's a big vacancy to fill.

Its my all-time favorite game series, I thought this would be at least in the top 5, I'm greatly dissappointed to see it at no.72!

"This Should at lest be in the top 20"
"Assassin's Creed Creates a Whole new type of stealth action, not to mention the story keeps getting better each game. "

+1This game is so amazing! It is so funny and the moves are cool! Every time you score a win, you feel like you deserved it.

+1best tournament of all time, the movie is sick as well!

I know this deserves my vote, it is so hard and you need to be dedicated to this game it becomes an addiction, it is mad all these moves ins and outs you can learn.

One of my favorite games of all-time. This game terrific. I recommend it to anyone. Go BATMAN!

FootballDog61

Lets vote for The Best space saga Ever!
Star Wars on big screen / Mass Effect on you're PC/xbox/PS3!

Pokemon really pokemon what are theses people stupid or somethin bully better be on this list or I will flip out

“Portal is an amazing game that doesn't get nearly enough credit. It may be short, but it's funny, creepy, and has the best villain ever: GLaDOS.

Fwingsnitch

I really loved this game... It was the first game which touched my heart... The very first scene were the family of Max Payne was killed sends chill down your spine... It really presented the characters as if they were real people... Its really sad that its 51... Would have expected it in top 20 at least... The sound effects, the story-telling, the style, everything connected so well with the players... A-W-E-S-O-M-E...

I still think that Max Payne made a connection to the players that no other game has managed to clone to date (maybe because no one has really tried cloning the storytelling of Max Payne, not even Max Payne 2). For one when it came it was the first game to ever feature 100 photo-realistic textures, and it introduced "bullet time" to the world. But what always captured me and made me consider Max Payne to be one of the greatest games ever made was never the bullet time or the (for it's time) fancy graphics. No it was all about how I felt the characters were believable and I found the noir graphic novel style to work, very well. I really saw Max to be a tortured soul doing everything not to go insane. The question if he managed to stay sane or not is debatable especially after the somewhat forgiving beginning of the second game, but then again I am not nominating Max Payne 2.

Lets face it, Sega's awesome and this game actually became the BESTSELLING SEGA game of all time, since then, Sonic games have gone downhill with all these new characters

This Is A Good Game Besisdes Whats With All The Freakin Tomb Raider

doughnut

A first video game for many gamers, myself included.

“This is the best JRPG ever created. Everything from the gameplay to the characters is great. The soundtrack is one of the best ever composed for a video game.

montreal45

“Widely regarded as (and in my open is without a doubt) the best RPG of all time. It came out in 1995 with unprecedentedly good graphics, which even today are nothing to laugh at. The story is... well, AWESOME. Though, typically, it is slightly cheesy, it is obviously well thought out. It has many different time periods that you can go into and countless side-stories.
Another interesting feature is that the main character, Chrono (or whatever you choose to name him) never speaks without your prompting and decision on what he DOES say. He is, in effect, YOU. You choose how the adventure progresses across time; your actions determine what outcome will occur. There are THIRTEEN possible endings; that is not only unprecedented, but has not been rivaled to this day.
The action is great; it was one of the first RPGs to have battle on the main map; also, battle is not random, an annoying feature of most RPGs. Through a variety of special attacks, even combinations combining Chrono and whatever one or two companions he has with him at that time, Square made a game with GREAT combat. I could go on and on, but basically, go try this game out yourself!

There is time travel; great sound in all aspects; great graphics; great storyline; great combat; great replay value; great everything. 13/10 ;)

Malorian

“All about quality and story... very well done.

Pokemon Gold Version is on of the best Pokemon and one of the best video games ever it was even so good that Nintendo remade for the Nintendo DS, and they somehow made it even better! So I honestly don't know why more people haven't voted for it, it is amazing!

“Great characters and campaigns

The, without a doubt, best video game of all time. The story is INCREDIBLE, the enemies are well thought out, the script is actually funny, the free roam to do your own thing is just so fun(crimson guards, hijacking vehicles, randomly assaulting people in the street- assassin's creed style, but better, and more stuff to do. Eat THAT, Ubisoft! )and overall just an epic experience. The way Jak suddenly turns into an angry menace from a silent hero is a little strange, but that's the only, MINUSCULE blip. The ideas, such as dark Jak, the weapons(peacemaker for the win, baby! ) and daxter missions are unique. COMPLETELY outshines R&C, the levels are epic (if you've played this, you'll remember the tank level. GOD, that was fun! Hard, but the greatest level on a game ever made. ) and overall, no other game can touch Jak and Daxter for story, action, free roam and excitement.

By the way all of them are good, Jak 3 and the precursor legacy are still 10/10 games, but Jak and Daxter is the greatest. Also, my other fave games are Modnation racers, InFamous, Mass Effect, FIFA 12 and Sports Champions

You have got to be kidding me man! 85? Minecraft Deserves A Better Place! It has to be in the top 20 ateast! Epic Gameplay!

RIYANINDIA

As for sequels go, this was an awesome sequel, introducing holopox and awesome new weapons. Also more cool sequels.

q1q1q1q1q1

little boring but with out it there would be no halo madden gutair hero and pac man cant forget tetris

“I don't think I have ever played a game as often as I have this one

preachinpreach

I added it because it must have been written in white on the list, why else couldn't I see it o_0... (speechless)

“Great characters and storyline

Best game ever! Excellent graphics, endless possibilities. There's no game like this! Other video games are all the same, fighting, and whatever, but The Sims, there's endless possiblities to LIFE itself! I play it everyday and it makes me sad to see it at the bottom of he list...

“One of the most historic Game Cube games.

“Hard game great game though

“The story: great
The graphisms: great
The gameplay: great

Bad voice acting
Jill sandwich
Slow zombies

What more do you want

“Can't argue with the weapons. Awesome game to play.

PotBellyPup

Greatest, first person shooter ever.

It is immensely difficult to find a flaw in this game.

“Great platformer that's a little too easy.
