I think Doom was the best... But please don't mention any of the shitty FPS games that were a result of the genre being created.

Super metroid all the way. But most of these choices are also good games.

Out of those, I'm going to say Resident Evil 4 because 1.) It's my favorite out of the options 2.) It got me interested in the entire series 3.) When I first played it, it seemed like the best game I'd ever played just because I found it to be so fun.

Do I personally think it's the best game ever? Heavens no.

Psychonauts, in my opinion, is a much better game than all the ones in that poll.
I agree, Psychonauts is my favorite game. However, out of those options I went with Final Fantasy VII, although I can't really fairly vote because I've only played a few of those.

Firstly, why is there no "other" option?

Actually, just get rid of all the choices and put "MW2" in instead.

But yah, other button is greatly needed.

I hated all of the games in the poll, with the exception of Tetris- which doesn't really even fit here.

Goldeneye: 007 (Don't kill me!) Because "Ocarina" was too.... Ocarina-ish (I actually preferred Majora's mask) and because Goldeneye has many (fond) childhood memories. Notice that the strategic placing of "fond" implies that other games weren't as good to me, a hur hur hur, I'm fancy and understand subtlety.

This question is so nebulous and unanswerable that it's absolutely pointless. Out of the hundreds of thousands of great games out there, you compile the options to 8? Okay, I understand that they are the 8 games usually referred to as the 'best games evar', and they're all fantastic games, but everyone will have a different favorite game (unless you're around the age of 13, then statistically you feel that Halo was forged by God himself).

My favorite game of all time is one-shot PS1 title Chrono Cross(usually regarded as a crime against nature because it's not a direct sequel to Chrono Trigger, which, let's face it, ended in a way that it needs no sequel). The game had fantastic graphics (for it's time), the cutscenes still look good today. It had a unique battle system, still mired in the familiar turn based system. A fantastic story with 11 different endings and dozens of characters leading to hundreds of parties.

Alright, I'm done ranting. Sorry bout that.

Yeah, that's right: no 'Other' option. I know its a sin and somewhat distorts the results of the poll, but I did my best to research games that are widely considered to be contenders for the 'best ever' title in gaming. I basically used the source I listed below, enacted a 'one entry per franchise rule', and these are my results.

So vote based on the options available, even if your personal favorite isn't here, what do you consider the best game of all time?

If your answer is 'none of the above', then vote for the game you think best deserves the title - or don't vote and complain about it.

No RTS? -BEEP- you man. -BEEP- you.

OT: Tetris. I only played like 1 of them. Tetris!

P.S Whats your avatar from?

RE4 introduced a new wave of shooters, with a dynamic control system that just felt right. Plus, it managed to make Resident Evil seem cool, so there are the points!
