Sound Off: Best Game Ever Made

Ask any gamer about their favorite game and chances are good you’ll get an earful. However, there is often a big difference between what gamers think of as their favorite title, and what gamers consider the best game ever made. For instance, my favorite game of all time is Super Mario RPG—but I wouldn’t say it’s the best game ever made. Far from it, in fact.

So, QJ readers, we want to know what you think. What is the best game you’ve ever played? It doesn’t have to be your favorite, and it doesn’t have to be a game universally accepted as a “best of.” It’s all up to you. Hell, quite a bit of our personal preferences in gaming come from the nostalgia of remember fun times with old games; modern games are almost always technically superior.


Here’s your chance to let everyone know where you land on the great debate. Sound off in the comments and tell us which game you think deserves the throne. Spoiler alert: Ocarina of Time will show up at least once.


Oh, and keep it civil!

X6 really impressed me by its difficulty (the 20 mins that i've played). Maybe the best of the X series?

hands down, i have never put so much time into a game than Metal Gear: Peace Walker, i still haven't hit 100%, but that gives me an excuse to go back to it lol.
OOT is just standard, i mean, it opened up the 3D gaming realm for a lot of us.
Aaaaaaand Super Metroid, Link to the past and link's awakening. I played those suckers until my thumbs actually bled.

The best games i ever played i guess would be the Ratchet and clank series for ps2. Also thank goodness they are bringing it out in HD, not to mention in 1080P.

So going to plat that game, theirs two in fact, but it doesn't have Deadlocked :cry:

Super Castlevania 4 presented excellent gameplay, beautiful graphics and music
Shadow Of the colossus, one of the most epic, and original games I played those would do for now

Final Fantasy VII! Oh shit, no one posted it yet? Nice! Was going to say, I love the game but it kills it for me when people always bring it up. I personally thought VIII was better but hands down, they need to do a remake in full 3D for VI. Just imagine all the amazing characters to be created. *drool* Gogo and Umaro...lmao j/k.

But seriously, one of the best games I've ever played was Metal Gear Solid. Common man, was I the only one running around the whole game (from beginning to the point where I couldn't progress anyfurther) and looking through all the damn floppy disk (in game) and everywhere to find Meryl's Code? After 3 hours of stress, I finally gave in and gamefaq-ed it. And sure enough, it was the back of the actual game disc. Ah...Good times...Oh wait!

"So you like Castlevnia Don't you?"

a huge WTF moment since before reaching that point, I was kicking ass with Alucard on Symphony of the Night.

Persona 3 is my favorite game.

It had a unique storyline.
A great soundtrack that fit the game.
A good atmosphere.
Good character development.
A turn-based system that somehow managed not to be fun and different.

My second favorite game is Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow.

Diablo II Lord of Destruction is my favorite. Amazing sound track, great graphics for the time, awesome game play (replaying it 10 years later) and an epic story line. also great multiplayer. Can't beat that in my books.

Best RPG known to man! this game had the best combat system in any RPG on the ps1. the music was so serene then when you fight diffrent types of bosses the music fit perfectly for that battle. Also the story is complex but not to hard to follow...
I pray that they make a part two for it

Final Fantasy VII (7).
The jump from SNES to PS1 was HUGE, the graphics jump, the side quests/mini games(Example: chocobo breeding/racing)...etc.

One of the best games of all time?..
I have to say that final fantasy VII was VERY good for its time maybe not the best when it comes to graphics but gameplay, story and music was awesome.
However i cant say that final fantasy X is worse. Its just that it didnt impress tecnologically that much in its era. But I actally think it had better graphics, just as fun gameplay, just as good music and a really really good story with awesome characters. But why cant I say it was better then FFVII then? Maybe because FFX didnt hit me while I still was in that age?? Or maybe because FFVII intruduced me to that kind of game and was a really good game. I dunno..

And there is also world of warcraft.
I cant say its my favorite game.
But I mean there is a reason why its so popular and why so many people is playing it instead of other less expensive mmorpg's.
Anyone can play it really, there is a lot to do, the graphics is simple yet beautiful, the music is great, the warcraft lore is awesome and its continuesly changing. The perfecs formula for getting people addicted.

OOT was very well made, but Super Mario 64 really set the bar for me.

The game I played the most in all my life is Diablo II LOD (Like 8 years LOL) it was so funny and so inmerse I can't descrive it beacuse 1 player and multy player are awesome... also I liked a lot WOW but is too long for me I work now and don't have time.

Also Ninja Gaiden (xbox) was defenitly the most exiting 1 player game I ever played, after it every action game seems to be easy, I just can't forget my fights against Alma LOL so fucking hard, Like those awesome SNES games but in 3D :D.
