Title: Best Game Ever
Description: Discussion goes here


Texta - June 4, 2005 12:25 AM (GMT)
Hey team, after reading PCPP's 100 best games of all time and thinking what a load of crap. I thought perhaps we could do a better job.

So here's how it's going to work. Come up with the ten games you think are the best ever and rank them in order. Then PM you vote to me and in a while I'll post up the results. I figure if voting is private then the results may be more interesting or something.

Lordage - June 4, 2005 02:58 AM (GMT)
Great idea man, I've PM'd you my top 10... I've played so many games it was hard to choose. So I generally just chose more recent games that I can actually remember...

Texta - June 4, 2005 03:45 AM (GMT)
Good looking list I thought.

Just should mention that expansion packs don't count as seperate games. However Mods do. So if you love CSS but hate HL2 then vote for CSS but not HL2.

I voted so yeah come on poeple this is meant to be a gaming forum prove it, if you don't vote you're a pussy.

[Texta: word]

Texta - June 4, 2005 06:48 AM (GMT)
Lol. I've had three people vote and 29 games have been nominated! Keep this up and we should be able to manage a top 100 :D

Lordage - June 4, 2005 03:24 PM (GMT)
Maybe a sticky for this topic wouldn't go astray...

[DZ] - June 4, 2005 10:14 PM (GMT)
Yeah, Stickt this thread. And give everyone a deadline. June 17? I'm still trying to figure out which games I should list...

Dr.Games - June 4, 2005 11:18 PM (GMT)
Thanks for doing Texta, I PM'ed you my votes ;)

Hello - June 4, 2005 11:27 PM (GMT)
I'd do this, but I've been drinking for the past 2 nights straight, and my brain's fried. Give me til sometime this week.

I've a feeling it will go something like this, though -

1. Super Mario Sunshine
2. Super Mario Bros 3
3. Super Mario World
4. Yoshi's Island
5. Resident Evil
6. Pikmin
7. Metroid Prime
8. Kirby's Pinball
9. Stunt Race FX
10. Street Fighter 2

Nintendo fanboy get!

Gio - June 5, 2005 03:16 AM (GMT)
1. Super Smash Bros. Melee
2. Super Mario 64
3. The legend of Zelda: The Windwaker

And I'm to tired to think of any others.. >_>

Manny M - June 5, 2005 03:33 AM (GMT)
As Texta specified, keep it in a PM guys. Makes things more spontaneous that way.

Comrade Natrak - June 5, 2005 05:09 AM (GMT)
Don't sticky it either, the sticky is some kind of curse!

Indeed once it's stickyed it will die. We gotta keep it at the top to remind people by posting in it :)

Texta - June 5, 2005 06:50 AM (GMT)
How does June 12 sound for a cut off date. I'd think that a week from now is heaps of time to get your votes in!

Going well too. Just have to decide how I'm going to vote!

[EDIT: lol, you didn't see that]

auikds - June 5, 2005 07:21 AM (GMT)
PM sent - it will be interesting to see how this turns out...

JJJames7 - June 5, 2005 07:40 AM (GMT)
Indeedy it was a tough list.

Cubeoid - June 5, 2005 11:47 AM (GMT)
Just a question, what about cross platform games. Say if I vote for the X-Box version of The Chronicles of Riddick and someone votes for the PC version. Will it all just be tallied together or what?

Texta - June 5, 2005 12:28 PM (GMT)
Yeah, especially given that some people haven't said what system their game is on, in most instances I've just lumped things together (I'm keeping track of the votes as they come in so there's not a massive amount of shit to do at the end).

Just a little thing, make sure you're really clear about the title of the games. I'd much prefer something like "1. Crash Bandicoot 2" than "1. Cortex Strikes Back" So if you can go for the most over arching thing possible that would make things easier (and would save me having to look weird arse games up on the net and also the embarrasment that will occur when I release the list and people realise that the 2nd and 5th ranked games are both the same!).

89 different games have been nominated. So we've almost got enough for the hundred. It's good to see we can all agree on something :D

Machiavelli - June 5, 2005 12:53 PM (GMT)
89 different games already, damn! PM sent out today, top idea Texta.

Lordage - June 6, 2005 12:28 AM (GMT)
**Bumps to Top**

Yeah I reckon there will be a tad of varity on these forums, unlike PCPP we have people here who game on every platform... The result should be GG.

StueyRowls - June 6, 2005 03:10 AM (GMT)
Just sent my list.
It was actually harder than I initially thought as I thought I would struggle to get 10 games, but then I ended up having to cull a list of about 25 games, all of which could have easily made the top ten.

It will be interesting to see what gets the number 1 spot...

Texta - June 6, 2005 06:53 AM (GMT)
I can't believe which game is winning. You guys are all n00bs!

evO - June 6, 2005 07:29 AM (GMT)
Please tell me it's Pokemon Snap (64) !!!

Texta - June 7, 2005 11:17 AM (GMT)
Just to update, we're up to having 111 games. So we'll probably be able to have a top hundred. Pretty exciting.

VOTING CLOSES JUNE 12

So you have five days left to vote if you haven't already.

f15active - June 7, 2005 12:43 PM (GMT)
God help us all if its pokemon snap.

I cant wait to hear the results! Im so excited!

Just thinking of a list is so hard, and it makes me feel sad and happy at the same time. Sad because there will never be anymore games that feel the same way you did when you were a kid, but happy because you were able to play them and experience them.

BrotherEstapol - June 7, 2005 12:48 PM (GMT)
Well, my votes are in. :)

I'm gonna hazard a guess and say that Mario 64, or Zelda OoT will take the blue ribbon. ;)

f15active - June 7, 2005 12:49 PM (GMT)
I hope its not Mario 64, tbh that game didn't really leave an impression on me.

Lordage - June 7, 2005 02:57 PM (GMT)
If it isn't Half-Life 2 I'm going to kill myself. :P

So texta... Does the #1 game make me n00b?

(I'm asking this as it reveals if I voted for it) :P

taprod - June 8, 2005 11:12 AM (GMT)
My favourite game was ET for the Atari 2600. It's awsome, I picked up a copy of it on ebay :)

Well it's arguable that it's the most revolutionary title of that generation...

LOL! :lol:

What a champ! :P

[DZ] - June 8, 2005 09:29 PM (GMT)
Actually, I think you're wrong taprod, the worst game wasn't ET on Atari. You should play Huge: Evil Mirror on PSone!!!!! :o Most boring/unplayable game in the WHOLE friggin' world!! :P

I still need to make a list...

auikds - June 9, 2005 08:07 AM (GMT)
the thing is that i havent really kept up with games in the last 12 or so months, my most recent game is GT4 and before that it was an illegal copy of NFSU2 - recently the games that have been coming out just havent appealed...

im sure there are some games that should be on the list i sent that i havent played cos im a bit out of the loop...

Suity - June 9, 2005 10:48 AM (GMT)
It's the best game ever so if you were a gamer in previous gennerations you should still have a lot to choose from.

[DZ] - June 9, 2005 11:14 AM (GMT)
auikid, what platform(s) do you own? You don't plat GTA? God of War is getting a PAL release on PS2, get it. Try Mercenaries too. And find some good Platinum games like the Jak games. BTW, JAK X is looking fantastic.

Everyone needs to include CTR in their lists! :woot:

evO - June 9, 2005 12:15 PM (GMT)
Has any ever played Equinox on SNES? Shittest. Game. Ever.

f15active - June 9, 2005 01:28 PM (GMT)
Whats all this talk about the shitest game ever? Im sure someone will make a thread for that soon so dont worry about that here eh? :P

Yug - June 9, 2005 02:14 PM (GMT)
Best game ever is such a subjective topic ... not only that, but can you imagine if someone actually played some of the 'best games ever' today?

I actually connected my old megadrive to my TV the other day, just to see if i could, and loaded up one of my all time favourite games: toejam and earl. Now back in the day, i LOVED this game ... but i really couldnt play it much at all, it just wasn't all that fun, it felt so pointless and ... well ... old. I felt like i was wasting my time. Some great games are better left in the past, better left in our memories where they belong.

[DZ] - June 9, 2005 11:07 PM (GMT)
ditto. I tried (I really did) playing Super Mario Bros on NES a year ago I remember, it wasn't as fun as it used to be.

Texta - June 11, 2005 07:36 AM (GMT)
Tomorrow is the last day to vote. So if you haven't voted do so asap.

well i have a sega mega drive, a N64 a PS2 and a PC I also have a GBC if that even counts nemore and i used to have a sega master system which unfortunately was sold - but i still have alot of those games emulated.

well i played GTA:VC along time ago on PC and intended to get San Andreas but never got around to it.

and i dont even know what CTR, Mercinaries or God of War are? I dont like patform games that much so Jak is sort of out of the question. One game i would like to pick up from somewhere is Ico but i cant find it newhere - i really should have put that on my list but didnt think of it till just now.
